Mastering the Grind: Top 10 Runes Farming Spots in Elden Ring for Rapid Leveling

[PulsarGhost]

If you've spent any time in the Lands Between, you know that leveling up in Elden Ring isn't just about skill—it's also about collecting massive amounts of Runes. Whether you're preparing to face off against Malenia or simply want to experiment with new builds, efficient Runes farming is the key to fast progression. After hundreds of hours of play and countless NG+ runs, I’ve narrowed down the Top 10 Elden Ring Runes Farming Spots that deliver the best return for your time. Here’s where the real grind begins.
1. Mohgwyn Palace - The Bird Farm

This spot has become legendary for a reason. After unlocking Mohgwyn Palace, use a ranged weapon or spell to aggro the giant blood bird across the chasm. It will fall to its death, netting you around 11,000 Runes per kill with the Gold Scarab equipped. Throw in a few Albinauric kills nearby, and this spot becomes an easy million per hour.
2. Moghwyn Palace - Albinauric Swamp

While you’re in Mohgwyn Palace, don’t ignore the Albinauric horde in the red swamp. A good AoE build can wipe them out quickly, yielding around 30,000–60,000 Runes per run. Quick resets at the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace make this spot extremely efficient.
3. Windmill Village

After defeating the Godskin Apostle in Dominula, Windmill Village, the celebrants remain docile and defenseless. This makes for a strange but effective farming location. With a good cleave weapon or spell, you can grab about 7,000–10,000 Runes per minute.
4. Greyoll the Dragon (Caelid)

Killing Greyoll, the massive sleeping dragon, is a one-time deal, but it rewards you with a whopping 70,000–100,000 Runes (depending on modifiers). Using bleed weapons like Reduvia or Rivers of Blood can bring her down in under 10 minutes without waking her kin.
5. Stormveil Castle – Main Gate Approach

In early game, few spots compare to the Main Gate area of Stormveil Castle. Knights and soldiers offer decent Rune drops, and they’re spaced just far enough to allow efficient takedowns without overwhelming you.
6. Ordina, Liturgical Town

After activating the Haligtree Medallion and unlocking Ordina, enemies in the town provide high Rune yields. The Cleanrot Knights, in particular, can be repeatedly farmed for substantial rewards if you're ready for a challenge.
7. Giants’ Mountaintop Catacombs

The Fire Monks and Erdtree Avatars here offer a high-risk, high-reward scenario. With good gear and buffs, you can clear this area repeatedly, raking in tens of thousands of Runes per run. Just don’t get cocky—these enemies hit hard.
8. Siofra River - Deer Spirit Area

This mystical underground area offers surprisingly good Runes farming potential. The ancestral spirits respawn with a Site of Grace nearby, making it easy to loop. AoE magic shines here, and the serene atmosphere doesn’t hurt either.
9. Bestial Sanctum - Farum Azula Beasts

Reachable early via a portal in Limgrave, this area is home to tough, rune-rich enemies. If you’re confident in dodging and dishing out damage, the beastmen around the Sanctum drop around 1,000–2,000 Runes each.
10. Lake of Rot

It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re geared for poison resistance and area denial magic, the Lake of Rot offers swarms of weak enemies with solid Rune drops. Use spells like Pest Threads or Rot Breath to make quick work of the rot-infested mobs.

Whether you're an early-game Tarnished or an NG+ veteran, these Elden Ring Runes Farming Spots provide reliable ways to level fast and explore different builds without fear of being underleveled. Remember to equip the Gold Scarab, consume Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot, and optimize your loadout for AoE farming to maximize gains. Just like in the world of the Erdtree, perseverance and planning will always pay off.
