Elden Ring Player Makes Heartbreaking Discovery After 55 Hours of Rune Farming

One of the most important things for Elden Ring players to do is collect as many runes as possible and use those runes to level up their character. There are certain spots in the game where Elden Ring players can farm for a ton of runes quickly, amassing a small fortune in the process. However, there is a maximum number of runes that players can hold, which one fan figured out the hard way.

Elden Ring player FSFreeman wanted to hit 1 billion runes in the game, and they took to one of the community's most popular farming spots to do it.

Using area of effect attacks, Elden Ring players can make short work of these creatures, then quickly rest at the nearby Site of Grace or teleport to make them all respawn.

For example, players can utilize Gold-Pickled Fowl Feet to increase the number of runes they're earning at a time, and they can also equip the Gold Scarab talisman to up their rune intake even further. FSFreeman wasn't consuming any Gold-Pickled Fowl Feet, but they were using the Gold Scarab in their quest to hit 1 billion runes in the game.

FSFreeman claims to have spent 55 hours rune farming in Elden Ring while trying to hit their goal of 1 billion runes.
