Elden Ring Players Are Now Buying And Selling Runes On eBay
eBay has become the black market for Elden Ring players to buy and sell runes, with some offering millions of the in-game currency for real money. FromSoftware’s newest title is set in the Lands Between, where players (known as the Tarnished) are tasked with collecting pieces of the Elden Ring by defeating bosses and leveling up their character. While Elden Ring launched with some frustrating bugs, FromSoftware has since patched many of them, and the Souls-like action RPG has been well-received by most reviewers and fans.
Like FromSoftware’s other games, Elden Ring is filled with challenging bosses and hordes of enemies to defeat, meaning players have to level up their stats and equip powerful items in order to survive. To do this, players have to collect runes, the name for the resource that acts as both currency and experience. Killing foes and selling items are two ways to collect runes, though alternative strategies have been discovered that make the process even easier. One easy trick to farm 100,000 runes in Elden Ring was discovered by YouTuber TagBackTV, who revealed the path players should take and the boss-killing strategy they should exploit to garner a hefty stack of runes – about 2,000 Runes per repetition. Other Elden Ring rune farming guides have popped up over the internet, but some players are bypassing them all together and taking an easier approach to obtain in-game wealth.
