Like FromSoftware’s other titles,Elden Ringis a difficult game. However, there are ways that players can make the experience slightly easier for themselves. Rune farming is a practise that has existed sinceElden Ringlaunched in February, as fans of FromSoftware titles are aware that the developer’s games can require a bit of grinding for a player to ready themselves for the next boss or area. Runes act as XP and are the primary currency inElden Ring, meaning they are a valuable resource for players to get.
Runes are also dropped byElden Ring’senemies when killed, meaning that players are constantly on the lookout for places near a Site of Grace where they can kill enemies quickly before making them respawn. So far, thebest rune farming spot inElden Ringis located near Mohgwyn Palace, at the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace. This spot features a group of enemies in a location that makes it easy and efficient to kill and reset them. It is seen by many as a simple and effective rune farming location.

One player has developed an even easier method to farm the runes from the enemies nearMohgwyn Palace inElden Ring. Rather than use their own hands to get runes, they have created a robot to do the farming for them. The rune farming robot is an interesting invention, as it uses light sensors to know where the Site of Grace is. It rests at the site and then walks the player’s character to the enemies, where it uses the Wave of Gold attack to instantly take out the lot before stepping calmly back to the Site of Grace to repeat the process.
ManyElden Ringfans online are often looking to combat those who try and easily farm runes while not playing the game. While IZICA’s robot is technically an instance ofAFK rune farming inElden Ring, something that many players find problematic, the majority of the comments under the Reddit post said that this was an example of AFK farming that they can allow, due to the fact that the robot was being used offline and other players didn’t have to suffer the robot’s wrath.
Rune farmers inElden Ring’sPvP often use the irritating tactic of hiding their characters, so an invader can’t reach them. However, there have been plenty of ways thatElden Ringplayers have been fighting back, such as one fan who fought fire with fire by also hiding their character in a spot that was hard to reach. With the invention of a rune farming robot, hopefully those who useElden Ring’s PvP to gain extra currency will realize there are less annoying ways to get tons of XP and money.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
