Best Elden Ring Rune Farming Locations
Fast leveling routes for early Limgrave, mid-game plateaus, and late-game Mohgwyn Palace farming.
Early Game: Gatefront & Agheel Lake
Clear Gatefront Ruins soldiers, rest at the nearby Site of Grace, and repeat. Once you have Torrent, kite Agheel Lake packs for better rune-per-minute before Stormveil.
Mid Game: Greyoll Cheese (Optional)
In Caelid, repeated bleed procs on Greyoll can dump a huge rune payout for players ready to travel east. Bring a bleed weapon from our bleed build guide.

Best Late Farm: Mohgwyn Palace Birds
- Reach the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace.
- Face the cliff and use a ranged weapon or spell on the giant bird below.
- Rest at the grace to reset and repeat.
- Equip Gold Scarab and use a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot for multipliers.
- Mohgwyn also gates Shadow of the Erdtree entry after Mohg — farm here if you need levels before the DLC.
Rune Multipliers Worth Using
- Gold Scarab talisman
- Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot
- Golden Vow / rallying buffs if your build supports them
What to Spend Runes On
Prioritize Vigor, then your main damage stat. Upgrade one weapon instead of spreading smithing stones. See beginner tips for progression priorities. Ready for the expansion? Shadow of the Erdtree entry hub.
