For those who have a hard time aiming through the tree for the bird or want a consistent time farming it; attach the rain of arrows skill from redmane painting in caelid and attach the talisman arrows reach(limgrave), approach the cliff as normal and as long as the bird is close to the tree itll hit. ^_^
I always just use Frenzy Burst spell, its a tad harder to hit him than with an arrow but has better range and you dont have to keep buying arrows when you run out.
@forgettisphaghetti6716 Thanks brother, I appreciate that. Put a lot of work into learning Editing, Photoshop and After Effects, glad you liked it. Currently learning a few more After Effects tricks like having text, or static on screen overlays turn into sand and blow away. Hoping to have it nailed down for the next video lol. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
@Wallcrawler2.0 Glad it’s working out well for you, and that the information came across clear and easy to follow. Honestly, these farms are the best way to power level your character. All the jump glitch methods are fun to try once or twice, but they aren’t the most efficient. Until next time stay safe out there Spider-man, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Hey all! Just so everyone is aware; All the jump glitches within the Game have been patched. So the comparative section where the Bird Farm is compared to the out of the map jump glitch, that jump glitch no longer exists. All other farms still currently work. Good Hunting out there!
@ZachOsborne-oi4ld Anytime, brother! Doing another comparative Rune farm video since there are people posting rune farm videos for spots in Shadows of the Erdtree and there is one that’s close at 7,412,520 RPH but it still doesn’t beat the Hill farm in Mohgwyn’s Palace. But it’s low on my video list at the moment since the DLC farming spots suck in comparison.
I was really scared to try the dragon method, but it worked! What helped me was to leave the camera pointing back at the site of grace for the last bit of its health. Even though I jumped off Torrent too early I was still able to get to the grace on time. Good stuff
@professorm3136 So it’s not unusual actually, but it is random. The video that I pushed out recently explains it in a little more detail, but the short version is that there is a game mechanic that randomly generates enemies with Golden Eyes, which when defeated grant you a 5x bonus for killing that particular enemy (during night time hours). Hope that helps. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@whatwasmyname Appreciate that! I figured it was a fun way to deliver the information. And the genre fits perfectly lol. The last few I made came out pretty sweet, and they’ll be in the next video 🦾. Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@MET-TCGaming Appreciate you! They just seem to fit well with Elden Ring. Love making them in photoshop, and the next video that’s coming out shortly has some of my best card work included in it. Made a pretty nice Patches Card, as well as the Nergus and Cleanrot Knight ones. Actually pretty pumped to launch the video, just want to make sure it’s well made, informative and entertaining. Thanks again! Stay safe out there, see you in the Shadows, and as Always….Good Hunting!!
@ lukejacumin3967 Sounds exactly like what I’m attempting lol. Brand new play-playthrough, all weapons, armor and side quests, bell bearings, Larval tears….and enough runes to max out. I have a level 135 first play-through character already staged and ready to go, but want an OP character on standby lol. I’m not going into DLC with my NG+ characters because I have a bad feeling that going into DLC at NG+ is gonna make Melania feel like a Disney Princess. FromSoft always shoots for the difficulty moon with DLC…3 stage bosses are incoming for sure. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
This is the best video I’ve seen for rune farming. When I first played I exploited the jump points but it still felt too long and a lot of clicking and unintentional falling was annoying. The sacred relic sword is by far the best, and I was combining the Bird also as it’s a 5-10 sec shot but when I did the numbers it was better to just run the golden wave on its own
@BigO Thanks man! After returning to Elden Ring I noticed a lot of quick click-baity videos that may confuse some new players just getting into the game, so I figured a 2024 updated Rune Farm video to kick things off would help. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@SubaruWRC1996 Glad you liked it. The next video is going to be a character build video for early game that makes the game easier if you’re just starting. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Let's feed the algorithm to help your video come over the shity clibait "runefarming"... Your video is informative, to the point and mathematicaly accurate! Thank you!
@Norwick Thanks man, I appreciate that. I was starting to wonder if everyone just likes, click bait videos that make you feel like you bought a fake Rolex in Brooklyn lol. You can’t expect folks to think you can just magically get 500 Million Runes or get to max level. Glad you enjoyed the video, put a bit of Photoshop and After Effects work into it lol. Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
Like for real, there’s one channel that just spams out the same Elden Ring videos every week and every time I click on one I feel like I need to take shower to wash the lies off. This video has given me back hope in humanity. I mean I knew about all these farm spots already but the delivery is crazy good.
@Jessy-wc3ek Yeah, I mean there’s a lot of it going around I guess lmao. I took a break from ER to play a few other games like Diablo, Starfield, Lies of P, BG3 and someone suggested I come back to make some more ER content. I appreciate the support, and I’m glad people enjoy the videos.
@Norwick 100% Agree; you checked that box. This video is F’n outstanding and destroys all the click bait b***s*** that’s floating around. The production on it is solid, and the metrics delivered are on target.
Thanks for sharing the information, really like how precise you are with the numbers, concise and to the point. Imagine it takes a fair bit of work to create this kind of content, hopefully it's an enjoyable endeavour. Thanks again, subscribed.
@darrensilvester4956. Thanks for the comment, it’s appreciated! It does take a fair amount of time to put videos together, but I do enjoy doing it (especially seeing the finished product come together). I wanted to see if I could create 100 videos, and improve something in every new video so that I could make some fun and informative content with a bit of production value that people enjoy. Thanks again for the comment and the sub! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Wow! 100 videos is quite a goal, it's nice to be able to get fully immersed in something, particularly as middle age kicks in. It's easy to become somewhat nihilistic and demotivated during the passage of mid life with what can come one's way. Thanks not only for the concise and informative video, but also for taking the time to reply to my comment. I wish you and your family the very best of health and happiness, and look forward to seeing more of your work. Are we going to see more Elden Ring videos?
@darrensilvester4956 Appreciate this comment. I’m currently working on a build video, that you can put together before facing any main bosses that will pretty much drop anything in your way with ease (one of my favourite early game builds). I’ll always answer comments; if people take the time out of their day to comment, then I’ll take time to respond in kind. You’ll see Elden Ring videos all the way up to the release of Shadow of the Erd Tree. Thanks again for the comment! Enjoy the weekend, and Good Hunting out there!
@@mid40sgamer Fantastic! Can't wait to see your build guide, particularly as it's an early game build prior to the main bosses. As with all Fromsoft souls games it can be difficult to get a foothold early, especially when one is new to the game. On my first play through I got to Malenia and quit after constant defeat. Second play through I didn't even fight Malenia because of those ridiculous black knife assassins and the archers when lighting the torches to open the way. Currently on third play through, would be nice to defeat Malenia without cheese tactics. She's insanely difficult with the constant aggression, healing when you block and Scarlett rot. Looking forward to seeing your build guide and will implement it in either a new play through or NG+. Really interested for your upcoming videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge of Elden Ring. Are you a souls veteran by any chance?
@darrensilvester4956 I’m shooting for release late tonight or tomorrow. Wanted to include everything. Not only weapons, Items, and incantations but locations of all weapon upgrade materials, Tears for Flask, and a brief overview of leveling and stats. It’s about 50% complete, and it’s pretty entertaining to watch.
@epsilonprotocol3121 As long as you keep yeeting out of existence, you should level pretty quick mid game. Glad it helped. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!!!
@BudaKarma88 Thank you! The intro song was part of the Adobe Stock Music Library under Cinematic / Motivational. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there Tarnished, and Good Hunting!
@grizzlybweah Thanks brother I appreciate that. Glad it helped! Enjoy exploring the lands between and the land of shadows, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@EZ1977 If you’re build revolves around Arcane, you can grab the Dragon communion seal from Fringe Folk Hero’s Grave, The Roar Medallion, and Rot Dragon Breath works pretty well to clear the hill too. That’s prolly the second best method to clear the Hill that I’ve found. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there and as Always….Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer yeah I am running a dex/arcane build (powerstancing eleanora and godskin peeler) with just enough faith for rot breath so I'll give it a shot. This is only my second playthrough and I wasn't planning on farming runes at all but the game glitched and crashed on me when I was fast travelling to the round table to make some early upgrades and I lost my runes and now I'm farming out of spite lol. Thanks again. Liked and subbed.
@EZ1977 So the video I’m working on now is an early game Dex/Arcane build (with enough faith to run buffs) with dragon breath. So if you use rot breath with the dragon communion seal, with roar medalion, golden vow (on dagger), and howl of shabriri (which you can get away with using with a 23 faith if you have faith knot tear in physick), you can clear the hill in 2 Breaths. Makes farming the hill without the sword pretty easy. And since the Dragon communion seal scales with arcane, every time you level up arcane (especially if your communion seal is Upgraded to S-Teir) your damage will increase. The Communion seal has an initial soft cap of 45 which is pretty awesome. And Ekzykes Decay dragon breath works even better.
@haro6025 You can use a few different weapons prior to getting the Sacred Relic sword that work pretty good in the meantime. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
I'm just in awe with your videos man. By far 110% best interactive walkthroughs I have ever watched. Has me completely immersed the magic cards with the info is so awesome. Grateful for you're work 🙏
@ceciliocardona9550 Thanks man, I appreciate it greatly. The video I’ve been working on for the last few weeks has been a heavy lift (new features, motion graphics, new cards, etc.). Hoping to finish up soon. That being said I’m glad the work is appreciated, and enjoyed. Thanks again, and Good Hunting out there!
@Auxik 100% Correct, and it works perfectly in combination with the torch. It’s an ingenious way to bring down the dragon that was devised by Titus who puts out some extremely accurate and clean presentations as far as ER content goes. You can get 3 Dragon rotations out with that method in around 3 minutes and 30 seconds. I just went with the common bleed method for New Players to the game in 2024 that can either start with a low grade bleed weapon, or pick up an early game bleed weapon easily. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished and as Always….Good Hunting!
I'm considering a "passive" run, just for fun. One where I won't kill a single enemy with any direct action of my own, but I'll still use in-game summons (no summoning other players) and Spirit Ashes. So if gravity takes care of an enemy, all the better. I doubt I'll be able to 100% everything and probably won't have any luck with some of the later game side bosses like Placidusax or Malenia, but the rest of the game should be a ton of fun.
@Jessy-wc3ek Thanks! Tried to make a fun cinematic experience out of this video, that was also filled with accurate information for New Players. Glad you liked it! Until next time, stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
I also prefer to farm the groups of Albinaurics further down the hill. Just hitting the large group circling the big tree, and then the area where there's another 8-10 of them (many are underneath the liquid and pop up when you get close) will get you almost triple what is just on the hill (I hit the four on the next section down all the time as well, and you can pick up another 10 of them at the bottom of the hill (2) and in three small alcoves. Admittedly, this isn't quite as effective from a time stand point, but it feels less repetitive overall in my opinion than running up, spamming the Waves of Gold AoW, taking another 25 steps up and hitting it again to get everything on the hill right by the grace. On NG+ with the Scarab, it's more like 350,000 I think, but would need to test that with a 0 rune starting point to confirm.
@lucashamilton8520 Thanks Lucas, I’ve been trying to Level up my photoshop and after effects skills to push out a fun cinematic experience for game guides on the channel (made a few big strides over the last 2 weeks). The cards evolved over time, as my Photoshop and editing skills got better, and I figured the MTG genre fit well with ER. Thanks again for this comment, appreciate it. Until next time stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@hycianthfernandes3734 Any time brother, glad it helped! Working on another video today, we’ll see how it plays out. Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Don’t forget the overkill mechanic can get you even more runes on the hill method, if you do enough damage when you kill an enemy you get bonus runes. So full build around Sacred Relic Sword and max it out for more runes
@titusgilbert4571 Roger That brother, I should have incorporated that. Was too wrapped up in pushing the video out I didn’t consider that. I throw it in the comment section under edits. Thanks for mentioning it! Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always…..Good Hunting!
@emmanuellebaku9367 Thanks for the comment bro, and glad it’s working out well for you. Once you do the Varre quest and unlock a quick way to Mohgwyn’s palace, the bird farm will get you to level 150 pretty quick. These are all the farms I use to power level characters up. The dragon is pretty tricky so I’d upload your save data to the cloud or put it on a thumb drive before attempting it so you can load it back up if the dragon dies for good. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@davidsmith33 Thanks brother, appreciate that; doing good. These days its just me making videos. Just started making some ER videos for people starting up in 2024, and for those returning to prep for Shadows of the Erd Tree. Picked up some new editing skills along the way. Hope you are doing well in 2024, and looking forward to this years game lineup.
Yeah@@mid40sgamer . Had a feeling y'all had taken a hiatus. I've been busy playing other games in the meantime waiting for the EP DLC whenever it comes out. I've played God of War Ragnarok (Love it) about 8 NG+s by now and also it's Valhalla DLC (Love that too) when it came out recently. Other games were Spiderman Miles Morales and Lords of the Fallen (turned out to be one of my favs too). About to start an NG+0 for Lords of the Fallen while waiting for Rise of the Ronin due to be released next month 22nd March which looks to be awesome.
@davidtsmith33 Haven’t given Lords of the Fallen a shot yet. Went with God of War, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo, Starfield, Lies of P and BG3 lol. All great games, although Starfield kinda died out for me.
Saw a video recently of someone using deaths poker and a torch on Greyoll and it sped things up quite a bit. Curious how that would change timings and totals...and you can cheese the death bird that drops it.
@vincereese2997 I just saw that one recently as well. Titus puts out some very clean, extremely accurate and informative videos. And the deaths poker method is pretty ingenious. As far as numbers go, depending on what weapons you use (weapons that build bleed faster, deaths poker method etc.) you can vastly bring that time down, so you could get in 2 runs every 3:20 instead of just 1. I could run total numbers on his method and see where they fall hourly and get back to you with an average. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@vincereese2997 No worries Vince, I’m checking out the timing now, got into the weeds doing some “NG+” math for another person who had a comment, and they were saying you get 1 Million per Jump glitch in NG+, because they saw it in a video. (In NG+1 at most the glitch is 396,585 every 2 min, and the bird still beats it). I Mil isn’t NG+ numbers……it’s more like NG+7 numbers. The rampant (repeated) rune glitch click bait promises have caught a hold of people. I literally just saw one where a guy jumps up a cliff face, and runs all the way back to where the tree jump cliff is and jumps off….it blows my mind lol.
@mid40sgamer76 anything for views. 🤷 This is why I subbed your channel. You showed good info here. Stuff we needed a year ago lol this is great for new toons, though...the bird is just so efficient. I'm on ng+7 with the scarab and it was like 30k a kill. Which you can get like every 5 seconds. That'll be tough to be beat. Greyoll farm is the only thing I can see being more efficient than the blood palace hill.
@vincereese2997 It does change the numbers quite a bit, since in 3 minutes and 30 seconds on average you can get 3 Dragon Kills in at 50k each with no rune boost running, which was 150k in 3 minutes 30 second. The method is 100% solid. The only drawback is I couldn’t get the bird to jump off the cliff for some reason, so instead I jumped down from where the Dragon was and ran to the cliffs above the bird and just killed it from range. Hope that helps!
@silverlinegaming3933 I just use the Longbow you buy from the Twin Maiden Husks in the round table hold, grab a ton of arrows from Kale in the church of Ellah, and all set. Hope that helps you out. Good Hunting out there!
I like to add the bird and the one wave of gold and reset, gotten pretty good at aiming just right to hit the bird. NG+5 the bird is almost 30k I'm currently lvl 361
@LucidGamer727 That’s a bold move. I suppose if you can shoot it quick and then run up to the rock with the Sacred Relic sword and Send it, I don’t see it adding too much more time to the equation. Although, I’d really have to test how many bird + sword runs I can get in with 1 fowl foot, and see how that compares to just the sword runs. I’m gonna give it a shot. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@letsrock12345 Appreciate that! Typically, if people take the time to comment, I do my best to take some time to answer. Thanks for this comment, and as Always…..Good Hunting!
you could potentially add the bird shooting to the wave of gold farm if you wanted to add up even more runes before you rest at the site of grace, but it's debatable if you actually save or waste more time without it.
My friends kept telling me about the birds but explained nothing and I haven't seen anyone actually explain it. I bought this forever ago and absolutely hated it and when the DLC came out decided to try again because my friends are all over it again, even though we are on different systems and can't actually play together. This explained literally everything, concisely, thought out, and in short order and after work I will 100% be doing this.
@iirawrd These farms are the best there are, every better than the DLC farms as far as numbers go. Also pushed out a video that explains all the Rune “boost” mechanics. If you get stuck or have questions just give a shout. Good Hunting out there!
@gamerwolf500 Thanks for the comment! 100% correct. I didn’t cover it in this video but I covered all the ways to boost runes gained in a seperate video, including enemies with eyes of gold effect. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
OMG THAS EXLAPLAINS IT ALL! I was testing the bird method, and a couple of times the bird rewarded me with around 80k souls instead of 17k with the golden scarab an pickle! Another point to the bird over free falling
@maxjvm The golden eye mechanic also works at the ball farm believe it or not (not sure how a magical ball gets golden eyes. But it’s a mechanic that happens to all enemy types. See you in the DLC; and Good Hunting out there!
@dennisjezewski5387 There are actually a few different mechanics that increase runes that are pretty obscure like this one, “Overkill” being another good one. The last video I pushed out on the channel explains them all. See you in the DLC, and as Always….Good Hunting out there!
@TheBoosh66 Thanks! I figured the genre fit pretty well and it’s a great visual to get info across. Working on making the cards look a bit more real, sound effect when they drop and exit, and a light pass when they first appear on screen. Just trying to get 1% better every video, until it’s like watching an informative movie lol. Really appreciate this comment. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
Good vid. Math over wishful thinking. I gave up at level 498. Just did not have the patience any more. Now I just start new characters each time. At the end of the day, the game is a loot gathering game with combat walls to break through to get more loot. Once I get everything, and I have, there is no motivation any more. Nice vid. Subbed. Oh, and I am a mid 60s gamer. 😊
@mrgauth Thanks, I appreciate that. I figured people may want to know what the actual numbers were, since the space is inundated with videos that promise millions of runes, but don't caveat it with the fact they are in NG+7. 100% it's very much a loot based combat RPG (easily the greatest I've played) and not much changes, and not for nothing but I stopped playing for a while after collecting everything in the game and around level 515 in NG+. Now that the DLC has a hard date, my interest is back, and I'm headed into a new play-through so I can stop the character right before turning over to NG+. If I've learned anything from Dark Souls 3, it's that Fromsoftware DLC's are not forgiving, and I'll never forget sweating a little bit when the Sister Freida fight went into a 3rd phase. I expect nothing less from the ER DLC. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
At the end of the day, you can either beat the game (I haven't) legitimately (without excessive looting), or you can loot and rune-farm your way there to beating the game (I haven't, lol). Above all, you WILL have to beat a number of bosses to beat the game :)
@duncanlupercalholmes Thanks man, I appreciate that. Hope you enjoyed the video, the new editing style, and I hope it was helpful. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
@lapdgamblefails Comfortably, level 45-50 should be more than enough if you are new to the game. If you want to know what I would do if I was new to the game and wanted a complete playthrough experience; I’d grab level 45 with either the ball or dragon farm. Then I’d Clear up Stormveil, and Kill Godrick. Then I’d head into Liurnia to advance the Varré quest at the Rose Church. Invade other players 3 times (since traveling to Altus Plateau prematurely advances a bunch of side quest stories). Grab the cloth and head to the 4 Belfry’s. Beat the grafted Scion in the Chapel of Anticipation, soak the cloth, and then head to Mogwhyn’s Palace and farm the bird. After leveling to whatever level I wanted, I’d go back and easily clear everything in Limgrave, WP, Caelid, and Liurnia. Once everyhing in those areas were mopped up and I was satisfied I’ve completed everything, then I’d head up to Altus. The thing about using the NPC invasion method to advance Varres quest is that, traveling to Altus Plateau advances a handful of side quests like the Blaiid and Alexander’s quest. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….. Good Hunting!
@jacquesarangles8603. Anytime! Glad you enjoyed it, and that it helped out. Thank you for the sub, and welcome to the channel! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
The Hoarfrost stomp Ash works as a semi decide replacement for the legendary great-sword on the hill clear part. It's nowhere near as quick, but I probably pulled in 1M runes in just under an hour last night (with a couple of deaths due to sloppiness)... I definitely need to try the murder turkey bow trick this evening as I still haven't finished this dam game yet! Also, great video, buddy. Keep up the good work!
@benclark2856 So if you get dragon rot breath with Dragon communion seal and Roar medallion that’s a pretty quick method if you don’t have the sword. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
I thought the bird farm was, if not equal to, better than the jump glitch. Jump glitch doesn't always go smoothly. Arrows have a very high ROI. Thanks for the math brother!
@bryongliege8090 Anytime brother! I did a lot of testing, and it’s just better. People will say, “well if you keep falling you get more”, sure if you want to add another 20-30seconds onto it, and the second Rune dump is small. The Bird beats them every-time mid game. And there are tons of people who say they get 500k per fall, yes sure you do in NG+3 and NG+4 etc. (but you get more for the bird in NG+ as well so it’s relative). And 100% the Return on Investment for arrows is huge. I’m in the middle of trying to Rune farm a character to max in the first play-through to show the actual time it would take (super-long lol) and then I’ll do a few videos on some Max level play against NG+ Bosses lol. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always….Good Hunting!!
I think I have seen a few shows on the best rune farm. Some use the idea that I use however, I have refined it further. There are a few requirements and #1 is The Starscourge Great sword and a Talisman that raises attack power with successive attacks. , which I think was actually made for the starcaller cry. From the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace you begin your run. Btw, the roar medallion is very helpful here too. Pop fowl foot and start at the bottom right in front of the E.T. by the hedge. Do the full two hits then head back up to the closest one to the grace in the center. The reason for doing it this way is that it gives you a far greater chance of wiping out the dart throwing E.T.'s which also yield more runes per kill. If you are powerful enough, you may only need to hit the last target with one hit instead of two. This is a first playthrough farm, the fancy sword that some show taking out the whole bunch (the Sacred Relic Sword) with one swing does not come until the end of the game. The last point is the time math. With the one swing sword in one minute nets around 190,000 runes. I did my run with the duration of the fowl foot which lasts about 3 minutes. In comparison, in one minute I collect about 104,000 runes. Final words, in reality the only new thing I am suggesting is that you start your run at the bottom.
@legodac Outstanding post! I’ll give it a shot from the bottom and see how the time and numbers work. It’s funny you should mention ton a different way to farm it pre-relic sword. I did some math on a bunch of different methods, and Roar Medallion, Dragon Communion Seal, and Dragon Rot Incantation really clears out the hill in a few breaths. Just trying to get the timing and pattern down to maximise effectiveness. Thanks again for this comment, and thanks for getting into the numbers on it. I’ll give it a shot for sure, right after I finish up the video I’m currently working on. Until next time, stay safe out there; and as Always….Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Thanks old guy...lol...I'm 62 and used to be a die hard Zelda fan. This game takes the cake. My apologies if I offended anyone. I'm going to give the dragon a chance too, thanks for that
@legodac First, I 100% remember blowing the dust out of a Gold cartridge and pushing it down a certain way so it would work. Second, much like you I come from a time where no one gets offended over anything (we just bust people’s balls all the time; that & I have no feelings, so there’s nothing to hurt). Third, I’ll get you the timing on rot breath hill clears as soon as I finish this video I’ve been working on for 3 weeks lol. Thanks again for the comment, it’s appreciated.
@@mid40sgamer For the first time I figured out how to record a video clip. I don't have a channel but I am linked to youtube. Would you like me to send my video directly to you and you can use it how you want. Just tell me how to send it to you
@legodac Sure brother, I’ll look at the video. I could likely use it to create a video on “alternate” ways to farm Runes at the hill site. I’ll use your method, and a few other methods, and give you a shout out for your method. You can send any stuff you want me to check out to mid40sgamer@gmail.com. And if you want I can always be reached on discord if you’d rather speak freely there discord.gg/X9bBm2UC I’ll be pushing out whatever content I can to help folks before the DLC, so it will likely be a lot of Elden Ring content for the next few months, and then the rest of the year. Appreciate the support, and look forward to seeing what you have.
@jackasad2180 There’s no such thing as a stupid question brother. You can buy arrows from Kale the merchant in the Church of Ellah at the start of the game (it’s a 9 iron away from the First Step site of grace). Good Hinting out there!
You do NOT need arrows. Use Rock Sling spell. Zero cost! If you don't have the 18 Int needed to use it, you should be able to raise your int that far with items. Of course arrows are cheap compared to all the runes you get, but with Rock Sling, you don't have to spend any time shopping for arrows at all.
works every time, I did it 10 times in a row with the dragon, just made sure I was on my mount near the very end of her health and swung the flail till I seen her last bleed and she shivers then you run immediately to the grace and bam, more points to level up with. Got Vigor to 40 and Str to 40, end to 20 before I moved on with the game.
@MrSmithwayne Awesome! Glad you have it dialled in and it’s working for you. The Bird farm is the next big farm where you can really take in Runes and push levels pretty high. Thanks for the comment, stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
At Lenne's Rise, as you get the 1952 runes, press map->Y/triangle->A/X twice. This will quickly put you right back at the site of grace you last rested at, and saves a couple of seconds in itself.
@azalea_k Thanks for this comment, it’s appreciated. 100% You can use that method, and it does save a few seconds just keep in mind that when you fast travel you’ll lose the gold picked fowl foot effect. Which means you’ll be losing out on total RPM. If you’re not running fowl feet the fast travel method works well. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@azalea_k Fast Travel does work good without feet, so if you weren’t using them, fast travel works out. If you want to farm a ton of feet before Shadow drops, I put out a video shortly after this one that covers all the Rune Boost mechanics in the game, and some good farming spots for feet. Hope it helps!
@jonbigg7385 These are a few actually, where are you at in your game? One of my favourite alternatives is the Blasphemous Blade if you have the faith to use it. I’ve also actually used dragon breath incantations (with dragon communion seal and howl of shabriri) to clear up the hill as well. It all depends on your build and what’s available really.
@mid40sgamer76 Thanks. This is my first playthrough. The last two bosses I beat were the Godskin Duo and Mohg. I current still working through Farum Azula. My current build is a battle mage. I've recently started working on raising my faith. With Talisman active it's currently at 23. I started trying out the Blasphemous Blade last night. It's certainly not as quick at clearing those Albanurics, but maybe I just need to raise my faith more.
@jonbigg7385 Sounds like you are doing a pretty good job on your first run. I’m currently working on a new run to showcase a Samurai build I like using, and faith is a part of it. If you need a boost in faith you could always grab the Faithknot tear from the Weeping peninsula, and throw it into your wonderous physick until you level your faith a bit.
@spencerpillar6464 Thanks man I appreciate that. I’m looking forward to start transitioning back to Elden Ring for the DLC release. Glad you liked the video, stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
You can write a Macro in Softwares like iCUE from Corsair (in case you have a Keyboard from Corsair). The last Method runs fully automatic for me :) 45k runes every 26 seconds afk
First of all, congrats on the video, it is awesome. However, I must point out you are not taking into consideration a very important step when comparing the bird farm method with the glitch jumping one, which is farming to make the Gold Pickled Fowl Foot. It will take at least 1 hour and a half to farm those birds foot to craft 60 of them and half of it for make 31. Só, at the end, 60 runs in the bird method will not grant you more runes compared with the glitch jumping without that golden foot item.
@MatheusSilva-vv4tg Thanks for this comment, it’s appreciated. I’ll have to run the numbers with just the scarab and compare them both that way as well, since the scarab is a constant variable that can be applied to both methods. I can also take into account the average times the jump is made and the times the jump is failed/missed. I’d still be willing to bet the bird is more consistent in terms of RPM and RPH. But I’ll have to test it out since I don’t have that info on hand. Thanks again for the comment, and for the fowl foot farm variable. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer absolutely. Even though I prefer the glitch jumping through the rocks beside the blood river (not the tree one), it takes me sometimes forever to get the first layer correctly hahaha
@MatheusSilva-vv4tg I also should have mentioned if you don’t have the Relic Sword but you’re running an Arcane Build, dragon’s breath Incant works in the hill too. I always miss something lol.
@@mid40sgamer oh, that's a great tip, man. I was upset I could not go ahead with the last one suggested in the video. I'm a 182 dexterity focused character and my main goal right now is exactly to beat the last boss lol. I'll try the breath for sure. Thanks!!!
@oneassassin So you’ll need to pick up a Celestial Dew (one can be found on a corpse leaning against the inner side of the Raya Lucaria Academy locked gate). Then go to the church of Vows in Liurnia of the Lakes, and you’ll be able to use it to ask for absolution at the statue, that should reset Varré back to friendly again. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there and Good Hunting!!!
I just do the mohg farm with sacred relics waves of gold ability over and over, but it's getting difficult to get more levels in ng+ I get around 7k runes per enemy it kills with golden scarab and gold fowl foot. I get around 70k runes per 15 secs or so haven't counted but I did count it takes around 14 runs for the gold pickled fowl foot to run out which gives around 1.2mil runes. Did it around 105x and only got enough for 16 levels lol, at 287 now
@Coolkid4205 It’s still the best method for Rune Farming, it’s just grindy. You’re on the right track though! 287 is getting up there. Thanks for the comment and Good Hunting out there brother!
@dakotaknight Thanks brother, appreciate that. Working up another video with some new high speed motion graphics, should be out by the weekend. Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always….Good Hunting!
For the last method, the sacred sword one ... wich build do i have to use ? I'm a mage now but in what do i respec my char ? Amazing video was using the bird strat from the beginning when the game came out. It helped me a lot now at level 216 🤓
@scendepuydt9234 So I didn’t have alter my build drastically. I just pushed the sword up to +10 and increased my faith enough to where one swing took care of the hill. The wave scales primarily off faith, so as you increase faith, you increase the damage of the wave. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
I see a new video almost everyday promising millions of runes in 5 minutes, but they all lie. So sick of it. Its always the same jump glitch from a "new" spot that give 150,000 after making tricky jumps for 5 minutes. So lame. Thanks for crunching the numbers on the different methods!!
@outofthegamer Anytime, and thanks for this comment. I know what you’re talking about, some of those videos have some poor packaging. It’s like going to the store and picking up a jar of skippy peanut butter but when you get home and open it, it’s full of Lima Beans. It’s one of the reasons I crunched the exact numbers, and showed the exact times. Viewers should be correctly informed and deserve well produced content; not fooled into watching a video just to find out 1 minute into it that it’s the same video that’s posted over and over weekly. I did a video last year on all the numbers on every jump glitch that works, and they are all pretty much trash, unless you’re just using it as a quick one shot payout for cash to upgrade weapons. The best farm is still the Palace Approach Ledge Hill Farm as actual numbers go. Thanks again for this comment! See you in the DLC, and as Always…..Good Hunting out there!
@kzukiodenthechad7205 What may work for you, depending on you’re build is dragons rot breath, with the dragon communion seal, you’ll have to level the seal till you have S-teir scaling and then slap the roar medallion on as well. Hope that helps in the mean time.
@hammysteele6054 All numbers are first Playthrough brother. The best being the last farm where you fire for effect on the hill with Sacred Relic Sword. Hope that helps. Good Hunting out there!
@ratm524 Appreciate that, just started adding a little back ground music a few videos ago. Glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to doing a bunch of fun DLC videos in June. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@STEELCURTAIN675 So one of the things you can do if you aren’t sure you’ll make it is just back up your saved data. It’s a cheesy way of Hard saving the game at a single moment in time. I did a video a long way back that outlined how to do it. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer I tried that too, I did the dragon again and same thing,I know I made it back before it died, as soon as I activated the site of grace it died again. I just gave up after that and started with the ball again until I can get to mhogs to do the bird farm method again
@STEELCURTAIN676 That’s wild. What system do you play on? I’m currently doing a pretty sweet build video and the dragon farm is a part of it since you’ll need quite a few levels to get it rolling. The ball is pretty good though, albeit a bit boring; but whatever works.
@STEELCURTAIN675 I typically play on PS5, but I play Series X for Starfield, Halo, and Gears. The dragon could be an Xbox thing, not entirely sure. Either way, once you get to the bird, you are 100% set.
@OrganicIsManix Thanks for the comment, appreciate it. Glad you liked the video. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@SaintSecarrio 100% agree, especially early game. It’s the one I use to pump characters up to RL 60 right from the start. Glad it’s working out for you! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@Sapphic288 If you head into murkwater cave in Limgrave, you can either kill Patches and take his Bell Bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks so you can purchase the Missionaries Cookbook Vol 2 (to make an unlimited amount), or fight him to half heath and he’ll give up and. Come a merchant so you can buy it from him. There’s another video on the channel that explains the process in detail. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@hoisdisguy7400 Unfortunately if you killed Varré and the Dragon there aren’t any other real comparable spots that are easy. The only other option I can think of is killing Vulgar Militiamen in Greyolls Dragon Barrow near the Farum Great Bridge Site of Grace. You can just run loops in that area if you can kill them quickly, it’s decent for Runes. Depending on how much you’ve done so far, it may be worth it (power level wise) to spin up another playthrough, and not kill Varré (or the dragon). Sorry I don’t have better news for you; stay safe out there, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
Haven't run the numbers, but if you go to the dragonbarrow fork site of grace and head up the hill towards the minor erdtree there are a bunch of tree guardians (can't remember the exact name, guys with spears). If you're a magic/incantations user they are REAL easy to farm and only take a couple minutes. I think with the golden scarab I was getting about 28k every run. Not the most efficient, especially if you're melee (can take longer to kill them) but it works midgame.
Killing Greyoll with an unupgraded raptor talons has been the fastest for me.... 50000 runes every 3 minutes... start the game with a level 100 plus character.. easy mode.... all you need is patience
@carlobolanos6887 Nice! Welcome to the channel brother! Hope it helps you along your journey. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
While not able to be utilized more than once, I still like abusing the glitches for both the Night's Cavalry by Lenne's Rise and Flying Dragon Greyll (also located in Caelid as mentioned). Most of us know the abuse for the Night's Cavalry to get it to jump off the bridge, and you can just lure FDG to the other end of the bridge and make it trigger the jump/fall animation, which will kill it almost instantly. I think this gets you about 200,000 runes, which also isn't bad for not actually having to fight anything up front.
@jamesbaxter8734 Thanks for the comment James. The Knights Cavalry is still a good one, way back when the game first launched you could lure him up the hill and poison trap him to death as well. A lot of the tricks where you can get easy runes (if only once) are fun to pull off for sure. Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
I also just guided him off the ledge instead of following the path up . Go around to the tree at the end of the bridge on the left have him follow you then get behind the tree he will quickly fall off
@markforsey547 Sure thing Mark, so if the ball doesn’t fall sideways off the cliff, and it goes straight you won’t get the runes. So when you make that bottom turn, just slow down slightly near the cliff edge and then hit the gas. The ball will track your location near the cliff and then it will cruise off the cliff sideways and give you the runes. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@raymondhernandez4120 Thanks for the comment Ray, I think I can help direct you via comment section; From the Dynasty Mausoleum site of grace, jump off the near edge to the North East and then hop on torrent and ride as fast as you can to the Northeast and then slowly turn to the east until you reach the blood pond. Then head south following the zone wall on your left all the way up to the Palace Approach Ledge site of Grace. Hope that helps. Good Hunting out there!
Would you believe i found the big bird farm on my own the first month the game came out? LMAO. So i get there right.. Im just looking over the cliff and I see this big ole bird there. I didn’t think nothing of it.. Im like, “Ill get to you soon big boy”. But I died on the way there. So i respawn and I’m so mad Im all like “Ok im gunna shoot this thing in the butt cruise im mad!” I shoot it in the butt while its walking and it turns and runs right over the cliff. And Im all like “There’s no way i can recreate that. That has to be a 1 in a million bug or something.” But then I tried it again, and again, and AGAIN. Like clockwork. I was so excited i got on the internet to see if anyone else found it and sure enough there was like 5 recent videos from weeks before that had that farm in it. But he s! like the man said “It is pound for pound the best farm in the game” and im so glad to see this video was made a month ago and it still works! Two years ago when Elden Ring came out I pre ordered this game not because it was a fromsoft game like many others did, but because I was addicted to open world games. I can’t tell you how much i got my butt beat in this game as a noob to souls-like games. But I beat it using allot of cheeses LOL.. But when i beat it i find out that there is close to a dozen souls and souls-like games so I vowed to play them all. And I did! All the Dark Souls games, demon souls, Bloodbourne, Sekiro, mortal shell and over the past month I’ve been finishing Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen. I know I’m forgetting some but you get the gist. Now that I’m a FromSoft veteran I’ve come back to the game that started it all! And it’s hilarious how easy the bosses are now. I mopped up all of the bosses with ease with barely any farming just to see how good my skills have gotten and so far the ONLY boss that gave me trouble was the crucible knight in those gaoler things. Can’t wait to see how I fair in the mid to late game bosses.
@desertegle40cal First, Love the story, and your TH-cam name (the 44 mag DE in Burnt bronze is my favourite). Second, I can totally believe it, there are a few odd things I came across in ER year 1, and by the time I got the video together other channels already posted it 3 times over (wish I could produce faster lol….it’ll buff out eventually). Also I can relate to the obsession with open world games, some of my favourites being Skyrim, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Witcher 3, etc. Although I will admit I get sucked into all the side quests, every time. I got sucked into Souls Games in the same way and played them all (gonna do a rerun of Sekiro, and a DS3 Ringed City run through before ER DLC launches since I’m betting Shadow of the Erdtree will up the difficulty). Really enjoyed Lies of P, it was the perfect mix of action, NPC encounters and duel stage boss fights. And the weapon customisation was a nice touch (Bone Saw with Police Baton Handle). Really looking forward to facing off against the ER DLC Bosses. Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Actually my friend, my name isn’t named after the full sized Desert Eagles. And since you are a mid 40s gamer I am assuming (Im 42) then we most likely grew up in the same era, im gunna give you a pro piece of info only a few people have today from a southern gun collector thats been collecting for over 25 years. Before I could even legally own guns LOL.. When someone says “I have a desert Eagle 40cal, 357 magnum, or 9mm”. You can automatically assume that any Desert Eagle in the smaller common rounds like the ones I just named aren’t Full Sized Desert Eagles. They are Baby Eagles. About the size of a Glock. Made by Magnum Research (and another company ill get into in a moment). The same company that makes the Full Sized Desert Eagles. Now back 20 years ago when the baby eagles first came out they marketed them as Desert Eagle 40 cal, Desert Eagle 9mm and so on. But that confused people with the full sized guns. So they rebranded them Baby Eagles. My screen name that is attached to my email that you are seeing was made during that time approximately 20 years ago. Before the rebranding. Now don’t get the baby eagle confused with its twin. The Jericho 941. Why they have two exact guns that have different names is up for debate. Some people say the two guys that created Magnum research got in a fight and split. One continued with the desert eagle line and the other created the Jerricho line. So just know that when you see a gun that looks like a baby eagle you need to look closer to see which one it is. A Jerricho or a Baby Eagle. Just a little pro collector tip if you ever get in a conversation with a veteran collector so they don’t get you with a gotcha question about that timeframe to see how learned you are about the firearms. :-) I did have a tiger striped 50AE desert eagle for a long while. Cost be like 3500 bucks and I only shot it like 3 times and the ammo was GD ridiculously expensive. So I sold it for a IWI Tavor x95 assault rifle and decked her out with some sights and stuff. Yeah my favorite open world games are Borderlands 1 2 and 3. Thats where I fell in love with them again. The first being ZELDA BABY! Ocarina of Time in like the late 90s. Then like The Witcher 3 and those Shadows of Mordor games. I never got to play skyrim and theres another game just like it that i never played. Its on the tip of my tongue. Lol.. But yea man I loved Lies of P too and i can’t wait till that Wizard of Oz DLC to come out.. Well at least thats what they teased at the end of the game. I figure they are just using the public domain to create their ideas or something lol.. But that would be AWESOME. I love how there was an element of dark noir in that game.. SO AWESOME! And my favorite weapon was the bone saw with the Mjolnir handle. Making it the longest reach in the game and the best weapon to put them into a posture for a critical strike i thought. The hardest boss being the nameless puppet LOL.. They rest of them were relatively easy. Also liked the Salamander fire dagger on the Crystal Spear handle so it has the same move set with a longer reach. Yeah man I CAN’T WAIT for the Elden Ring DLC. Thats why im playing it again right now. I missed allot of side quests and areas in my first playthrough and it was SO HARD for me to beat that I didnt do a second play through until two years later for the simple fact that it was SO GD HARD for me. So a buddy of mine, from Ogles Gaming, told me about ALLLLLL the other fromsoft and souls-like games I would want to play first to make Elden Ring more manageable. SO for the past two years I have been searching for all those types of games and after I played Lies of P and then Lords of the Fallen (best order to play them in my opinion) I was ready for Elden Ring again. So here I am.. Kicking butt and having a blast now that i know what im doing. And I can’t wait to get the dung eater summons this time. That was the summons I desperately tried to get but because I did some things wrong in the first play though it locked me out of getting him as a summons and that dude is a BEAST. I want him lol. But i do like how the skeleton summons can keep being reborn lol.. The majority of bosses and places where you can call a summons do not know you need to finish them off while they are on the ground so they just keep respawning over and over lol. I love it! Never knew that in my first play though! LMAO!! Sorry for talking your ear off LOL.. I just don’t have many folks to talk games with.. Here in Florida its all about fishing, hunting, riding four wheelers, camping and shooting. They just think they are too MACHO for video games and I just laugh at them and tell them they aren’t smart enough, coordinated enough or good enough to play the games I play like the souls games we have been talking about. You have to be a pretty good gamer to play these games or you will get stuck at a gatekeeper boss and never progress further than that LOL.. I even let my buddies try some bosses out sometimes and watch as they epically fail each and every time. Before they tell me “only nerds play video games”. And I tell them that at least my brain wont turn into mush before yours! Because video games keeps the brain sharp. No wonder im always out smarting them in certain areas LOL.
@desertegle40cal You and a friend I work with would immediately get along (and likely go back and forth for hours) since he literally knows everything (everything) when it comes to firearms (talked me into taking the Ruger armorers course…and the Colt one). But a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything firearm related. So I may blind side him with the knowledge you shared. I played all the borderlands game as well, and picked up the Handsome Jack collection, loved the Critical Conference Call (mine was an acid one) and I spent a lot of time Cheesing the slot machines with a glitch I found. All in all, loved the series and the Badass Crater of Badassitude DLC intro (I still look up the clip now and again because it’s hilarious). Can’t wait for the DLC either, and I’m hoping (and predicting) that this DLC will be comparable difficulty wise to DS3’s The Ringed City. It’s why I’m just staging 2 non-NG+ characters in Mogwyn’s palace (Lvl 150, Lvl 512 so far lol) with all the best items I can grab in a single Playthrough, since all DLC content should follow the scaling of NG+ Level. One for the legit playthrough and one to just walk all over the DLC for exploring etc. Literally all my friends Hunt and fish, have 4-wheelers or side by sides too but they play video games as well, they just like FPS games, and when I play online those are the games I play Coop (playing Baldurs Gate 3 Coop, but it takes forever). After being in the Infantry for 20 years, I can tell you first hand I’ve known some of the most “Macho” dudes….play games (even Open world RPGs); so don’t let your buddies blow smoke in your direction. Until next time stay safe out there brother, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Hey, did you say you had 20 years of infantry under your belt? Are you a military veteran too? I was in the Navy for 5 years. Was attached to the USS Carl Vinson and USS John C Stennis Aircraft carriers as an Aviation Structural Mechanic. And one thing i loved about being in the military was how diverse it was. You could literally find someone in your command who did literally ANYTHING you do. Play videos games, hike, go skiing, camping or just heading to LA for a weekend to party. So I had my buddies id play video games with and buddies id go camping fishing and skiing with. But i always thought it was weird they never gave out hunting licenses. But we were in CA so that might of been the problems. I was stationed at the Lemoore CA Navy air base. Right outside of Fresno and only an hour and a half from fresh powder in the winter and loads of hiking and camping in the summer. CA was fun to be stationed at. Lots of things to do even though our base was in the middle of nowhere in a desert lol.. Man did you bring up a blast from the past. THE CONFERENCE CALL. I remember before they nerfed that thing it was literally an impossible beast. The way it hit you from all sides was the most awesome gimmick in the game. I had all renditions of that weapons because, i farmed just about every single awesome or unique weapon every single time a new game came out. So there wasn’t a legendary weapon I didn’t have multiple versions of lol.. I would look for glitches and cheeses too. But I never truly knew what a CHEESE actually was until i started playing Elden Ring. The first fromsoft game i ever experienced and if it wasn’t for Tyrannicon gaming I would have never beat it LOL.. But Borderlands was the first time I learned of what FARMING was. Because I would beat bosses over and over just to try and get a specific SUPER RARE drop. SO I always had multiples of the same weapon lol. And in the first and second borderlands there was the dashboard glitch you could use. Because the saves were only when you entered or exited an area. So i would fight a boss, see what they dropped and if it wasn’t anything I wanted I would dashboard the game and reload it and the boss would be back.. I would do that over and over until I got the weapon I wanted. In the second Borderlands game they then made that machine that could pop out legendary weapons if you put in the right stuff. Except this time they made it so the game would save if you picked up a weapon but it would only save the weapon to your inventory and not the entire game. So you could dashboard the game and the items you used would be reset and you’d STILL get the weapon you made. Not sure if this was a glitch or something they added on purpose but it was AWESOME. I hardly ever used any weapons that weren’t legendaries LOL.. Man that was a blast. But I got issues with this last rendition. They made the bosses WAY too hard and without and scaled them to be impossible without a specific weapon that was more of an accident than it was on purpose. To farm weapons you need to go to the arena but the bosses were just way to overpowered scaling off your character and many bosses had impossible shields that didn’t respond to electricity like the two prior games did. If a boss had a shield, even if you had the WEAKEST electric elemental gun and the boss had a HUGE shield bar, the electricity would chew up that shield no matter now weak it was. But now in the new one it seems they just don’t respond to electricity like they used to. Made the game impossible to beat and even if you were a high level the bosses would just scale up with you and become harder. And I am a good gamer, I can hold my own but if im fighting a boss for 20 or 30 minutes just to get his shield down then that is just tedious and not fun at all. Sorta lost hope that the Borderlands Series would get any better. But they had their hay day and here’s hoping they wise up LOL.. I subscribed to your channel BTW. Ill be looking for new relevant videos so keep it up my friend. I think the gaming industry is only growing with new technology so im certain channels like yours will be needed! Its always great to chat it up with another gamer!
@desertegle40cal Sure did, and I’ve worked with the Navy on a few different deployments, even my last one. I really liked the MSRON guys, they were good group. My take aways from them were; Never Call a Seabee “Shipmate”, and they educated me on what a “Shellback” meant. You are right, working with so many different people you could find a lot of alignment with the things you like to do, and never a shortage of people to go out for a beer or 20. Borderlands wore thin here too, a lot of time was spent farming and re- downloading save game data cheesing, just to find the weapons you wanted. As far as content the next video is still under production, since I took 2 weeks to really learn Adobe After effects, in order to bring a fun cinematic experience to gaming guides. Plugging away at it in my free time and it looks like I should be able to push it out this weekend if my computer compiles it (don’t have the greatest computer for rendering lol, one day though). Great talking with you and hope you enjoy the next video!
I was trying to revert to a save before I failed the dragon farm. Booted back in and big dragon gone but no runes. SO sad. I guess this is start over time
@gOld3nh34rt You could always just push forward and do Varre’s Quest since the bird farm is the best Midgame farm out there; instead of starting over. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
It’s all good I ended up starting again fresh and cut my time in half to get back to where I was. It’s getting my skills back up anyway 😂. Love your content! I have been using your channel and fextra Life on my first 4 play throughs. ❤
@g0ld3nh34rt That’s a pretty big compliment that I appreciate more than I can say since Fextralife always has such clean content, and he speaks extremely well on the mic. It’s hard to keep up with that kind of video output doing this part time, but maybe one day haha. Thanks again for the comment brother, and good hunting out there!
@donovanhawk155 Anytime brother! Glad the video helped; I’ll be pushing out a bunch of updated ER videos next week to prep for the expansion. Stay safe out there and Good Hunting!
On that first method with the ball, you don't use the bridge with the dragon on it to reach Lenne's Rise. You have to take a different bridge just east of that one.
@teknogothyk Thanks for the comment. You can use either way both will get you there. The path to the east is filled with poison traps (and don’t take the easy path at night because bridge is guarded by Night’s Cavalry). That being said I just outlined the most direct route which is a quick ride past the dragon, make a left through the small graveyard and jump down onto the spirit spring next to Lenne’s Rise (since it’s the fastest way). Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Just got the game 3 days ago, havent beaten Godrick the Grafted yet, but some dude invaded my world, dropped that golden sacred sword you showed, then killed himself... Will I be able to do that last method at my low level?
@12677789 If someone gifted you the sword via invasion, you can 100% use the hill method. Just keep in mind that you may need to increase your faith or upgrade the sword via somber smithing stones to get the most out of it. Hope that helps; stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@12677789 Appreciate that! Figured you were looking to get into some Rune Farming as soon as possible, and needed a quick answer. There’s no better place than Mohgwyn’s Palace for it.
@obywan7901 I use to farm the fire spitting statues there, I had a super quick run when I was dialed and it was fun, but the hill farm was a better return on the time investment albeit a little mindless and boring. But Deep root is a great place to stack some runes too. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
I wanted to try the jump glitch one with the white tree just to see it for myself, but I couldn't for the life of me make that jump! (I went into it with a ton of runes on me, too, stupidly. Oh, well. I'll farm them back.) So that one is not only inefficient, but stupidly difficult. I've seen videos showing doing the albinauric hill with Mohg's Sacred Spear or other weapons, but I've tried that and all my other spells and weapons, and I've tried clearing the hill and just hitting the top few and quickly going back to the grace. For me at least, the bird is still faster than all of them! But there's a jump farm that's TWICE as fast as the bird farm! It's the one at Ordina, Liturgical Town. Try it! Run it a few times -- site of grace, run up the stairs, jump, get the runes, fast travel to grace, repeat. I generally don't use fowl feet, as this would go through a lot of them; just the golden scarab is enough for me. Time this and get an average runes per time period, and compare to the bird farm. I got a bit over 33,500 runes/minute with the bird farm, and just under 66,000 runes/minute with Ordina, Liturgical Town jump farm. Ordina it is for me, from now on! Bird farm early-to-mid game, but once you get to Consecrated Snowfield, Ordina is much better.
@AngiLong Thanks for the comment Angi, it’s appreciated. So I’ve covered a lot of Rune farms over the years, even all the jump glitches that still work as well (even though I’m not big on the whole Rune glitch thing). One thing you could try if you wanna farm the Hill early without the sacred relic sword, you could use Dragons Rot breath with the Dragon communion seal around +5 (+6 if you kill the Sellia Crystal tunnel boss for the somber stone), and the Roar Medallion from the limgrave tunnels. That clears the hill pretty well with a few breaths (around 45 Arcane should do). Thanks again for the comment, see you in the DLC, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@mid40sgamer I have tried many different weapons on that hill, including dragon breaths, and there are a few that do clear it with a few attacks, but none result in a rune farm anywhere near as fast as just killing the bird with rock sling. I do like testing out new weapons on the albinaurics, though. And the farm I'm using for runes now, that for me, at least, is faster than the bird, is the jump at Ordina, Liturgical Town. It gets me runes faster and it's also nice that while I'm falling and just clicking to swing my sword every so often, I can also use the time to read or watch videos. :)
@Angi_Mathochist The bird is king for mid game first playthrough farming 100%. Love the meteorite staff and rock sling, epic combo. Glad you have a leveling plan, and found the methods that work for you. See you in the DLC, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Does this take away from the experience for any of you? I remembered using a duping glitch in elder scroll and could never complete a play through cus it just wasnt the same as playing it vanilla.
@matthewjerome1546 There is also an insane crafting glitch in Skyrim that allows you to create insanely overpowered items if you alter between alchemy boosting enchanted equipment and enchantment boosting alchemy. It really made the game no fun when you could take out a dragon with 1 swing, and never take any damage. Every piece of armor I made had over 40k AC, Increased Health by 400k and Stamina regenerated at like 100k% lol. So I totally get where you’re coming from. Imo Rune farming doesn’t trivialise or take away from the experience, you could beat the game at level 1, or at Level 200, just depends on your skill level, but either way you still have to work for it. I mainly use it as an easy way to power level to that RL 125-150 mark which is optimal for most of the builds I like running. Sure you could go crazy and level to around RL 350-400 which will give you a bigger edge, but you could still get killed even at that level by some of heavy hitting bosses without the skill to back up you’re level. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@killianmeade Thanks for the comment! And thanks for the assessment of the video (took quite a bit of time to get some good production value in lol). So, I’ve done it a few ways, some playthroughs with no farming, a playthrough with a little bit of farming here and there, and a metric ton of farming to make me virtually indestructible. Honestly all of the playthroughs were enjoyable no matter which path I took. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
@dimitributler7599 Well the good news is yes, there is another way to get to Mogwyn’s Palace. The bad news is that it’s through a portal that’s within the Consecrated Snow Fields, which is a late game area. So the only way to get there early, is to go through Varre’s quest. Sorry for the rotten news, you could start another play through if you really want to use that farm early 🤷🏼♂️. Until next time, stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…..Good Hunting!

For those who have a hard time aiming through the tree for the bird or want a consistent time farming it; attach the rain of arrows skill from redmane painting in caelid and attach the talisman arrows reach(limgrave), approach the cliff as normal and as long as the bird is close to the tree itll hit. ^_^

@@xler3441 🤣I think a simple "Wow, thanks for the tip" would have sufficed...
I always just use Frenzy Burst spell, its a tad harder to hit him than with an arrow but has better range and you dont have to keep buying arrows when you run out.

Actually amazingly edited and produced collecting of farms, bro keep it up, absolutely love it

Thank you so much for your help man. You kept it simple yet informative. Went from 85 to 116 like in no time at all.
@Wallcrawler2.0 Glad it’s working out well for you, and that the information came across clear and easy to follow. Honestly, these farms are the best way to power level your character. All the jump glitch methods are fun to try once or twice, but they aren’t the most efficient. Until next time stay safe out there Spider-man, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Hey all! Just so everyone is aware; All the jump glitches within the Game have been patched. So the comparative section where the Bird Farm is compared to the out of the map jump glitch, that jump glitch no longer exists. All other farms still currently work. Good Hunting out there!
Wait the bird farm doesn’t work anymore?
@ZachOsborne-oi4ld The Bird, and ball still work, just not the jump glitches.
@@mid40sgamer ok thank you!
@ZachOsborne-oi4ld Just did the bird as soon as you posted this comment to triple check. Yes the bird works 100%.
@ZachOsborne-oi4ld Anytime, brother! Doing another comparative Rune farm video since there are people posting rune farm videos for spots in Shadows of the Erdtree and there is one that’s close at 7,412,520 RPH but it still doesn’t beat the Hill farm in Mohgwyn’s Palace. But it’s low on my video list at the moment since the DLC farming spots suck in comparison.
I was really scared to try the dragon method, but it worked! What helped me was to leave the camera pointing back at the site of grace for the last bit of its health. Even though I jumped off Torrent too early I was still able to get to the grace on time. Good stuff
I do the bird farm and get 11k runes per kill, but sometimes out of nowhere it gives me 50k. Why is that?
@professorm3136 So it’s not unusual actually, but it is random. The video that I pushed out recently explains it in a little more detail, but the short version is that there is a game mechanic that randomly generates enemies with Golden Eyes, which when defeated grant you a 5x bonus for killing that particular enemy (during night time hours). Hope that helps. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
When enemies have golden eyes they give 5x runes, only happens at night so if you do a lot of farming make sure you do it at night
i get the same. always wondered but said oh well and never asked lol
@@matthewjones5546 i never knew that
Golden eyes is my guess. Gold eyes mean they give extra runes but idk
Yep, Arrow shoot Murder Turkey, the use Star Caller Cry from Radhn's Great Swords on Grey Albs, and Red Albs is the most consistent Rune Farm.

This is the best video I’ve seen for rune farming. When I first played I exploited the jump points but it still felt too long and a lot of clicking and unintentional falling was annoying.
The sacred relic sword is by far the best, and I was combining the Bird also as it’s a 5-10 sec shot but when I did the numbers it was better to just run the golden wave on its own
Another awesome no BS video! Love this channel
@BigO Thanks man! After returning to Elden Ring I noticed a lot of quick click-baity videos that may confuse some new players just getting into the game, so I figured a 2024 updated Rune Farm video to kick things off would help. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!

Like for real, there’s one channel that just spams out the same Elden Ring videos every week and every time I click on one I feel like I need to take shower to wash the lies off.

@darrensilvester4956 Appreciate this comment. I’m currently working on a build video, that you can put together before facing any main bosses that will pretty much drop anything in your way with ease (one of my favourite early game builds). I’ll always answer comments; if people take the time out of their day to comment, then I’ll take time to respond in kind. You’ll see Elden Ring videos all the way up to the release of Shadow of the Erd Tree. Thanks again for the comment! Enjoy the weekend, and Good Hunting out there!
@@mid40sgamer Fantastic! Can't wait to see your build guide, particularly as it's an early game build prior to the main bosses. As with all Fromsoft souls games it can be difficult to get a foothold early, especially when one is new to the game. On my first play through I got to Malenia and quit after constant defeat. Second play through I didn't even fight Malenia because of those ridiculous black knife assassins and the archers when lighting the torches to open the way. Currently on third play through, would be nice to defeat Malenia without cheese tactics. She's insanely difficult with the constant aggression, healing when you block and Scarlett rot.
Looking forward to seeing your build guide and will implement it in either a new play through or NG+. Really interested for your upcoming videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge of Elden Ring.
Are you a souls veteran by any chance?
@darrensilvester4956 I’m shooting for release late tonight or tomorrow. Wanted to include everything. Not only weapons, Items, and incantations but locations of all weapon upgrade materials, Tears for Flask, and a brief overview of leveling and stats. It’s about 50% complete, and it’s pretty entertaining to watch.

thanks for the vid. Sounds like until you get the final boss weapon, bird hunting is the best way to go, is that correct?
@EZ1977 If you’re build revolves around Arcane, you can grab the Dragon communion seal from Fringe Folk Hero’s Grave, The Roar Medallion, and Rot Dragon Breath works pretty well to clear the hill too. That’s prolly the second best method to clear the Hill that I’ve found. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there and as Always….Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer yeah I am running a dex/arcane build (powerstancing eleanora and godskin peeler) with just enough faith for rot breath so I'll give it a shot. This is only my second playthrough and I wasn't planning on farming runes at all but the game glitched and crashed on me when I was fast travelling to the round table to make some early upgrades and I lost my runes and now I'm farming out of spite lol. Thanks again. Liked and subbed.
@EZ1977 So the video I’m working on now is an early game Dex/Arcane build (with enough faith to run buffs) with dragon breath. So if you use rot breath with the dragon communion seal, with roar medalion, golden vow (on dagger), and howl of shabriri (which you can get away with using with a 23 faith if you have faith knot tear in physick), you can clear the hill in 2 Breaths. Makes farming the hill without the sword pretty easy. And since the Dragon communion seal scales with arcane, every time you level up arcane (especially if your communion seal is Upgraded to S-Teir) your damage will increase. The Communion seal has an initial soft cap of 45 which is pretty awesome. And Ekzykes Decay dragon breath works even better.
U can use radahn sword to farm the albinauric too as an early game option
It will reward u with almost 40k every run if u use golden scareb
@haro6025 You can use a few different weapons prior to getting the Sacred Relic sword that work pretty good in the meantime. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!

If you can get the death rite bird to fall off a ledge and get deaths poker, it kills the dragon faster.
@Auxik 100% Correct, and it works perfectly in combination with the torch. It’s an ingenious way to bring down the dragon that was devised by Titus who puts out some extremely accurate and clean presentations as far as ER content goes. You can get 3 Dragon rotations out with that method in around 3 minutes and 30 seconds. I just went with the common bleed method for New Players to the game in 2024 that can either start with a low grade bleed weapon, or pick up an early game bleed weapon easily. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished and as Always….Good Hunting!
I'm considering a "passive" run, just for fun. One where I won't kill a single enemy with any direct action of my own, but I'll still use in-game summons (no summoning other players) and Spirit Ashes. So if gravity takes care of an enemy, all the better. I doubt I'll be able to 100% everything and probably won't have any luck with some of the later game side bosses like Placidusax or Malenia, but the rest of the game should be a ton of fun.
Well done man, this video is sick!
@Jessy-wc3ek Thanks! Tried to make a fun cinematic experience out of this video, that was also filled with accurate information for New Players. Glad you liked it! Until next time, stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
I also prefer to farm the groups of Albinaurics further down the hill. Just hitting the large group circling the big tree, and then the area where there's another 8-10 of them (many are underneath the liquid and pop up when you get close) will get you almost triple what is just on the hill (I hit the four on the next section down all the time as well, and you can pick up another 10 of them at the bottom of the hill (2) and in three small alcoves. Admittedly, this isn't quite as effective from a time stand point, but it feels less repetitive overall in my opinion than running up, spamming the Waves of Gold AoW, taking another 25 steps up and hitting it again to get everything on the hill right by the grace. On NG+ with the Scarab, it's more like 350,000 I think, but would need to test that with a 0 rune starting point to confirm.
@jamesbaxter8734 I like to break up the monotony as well by just wiping out whatever I can see down the hill and in the lake. It breaks up the grind.
Excellent job I like how you make some items look like mtg cards great video
@lucashamilton8520 Thanks Lucas, I’ve been trying to Level up my photoshop and after effects skills to push out a fun cinematic experience for game guides on the channel (made a few big strides over the last 2 weeks).

Don’t forget the overkill mechanic can get you even more runes on the hill method, if you do enough damage when you kill an enemy you get bonus runes. So full build around Sacred Relic Sword and max it out for more runes
@titusgilbert4571 Roger That brother, I should have incorporated that. Was too wrapped up in pushing the video out I didn’t consider that. I throw it in the comment section under edits. Thanks for mentioning it! Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always…..Good Hunting!

Newcomer, just used only the ball video and got 20k rune in an hr, this is so fire and real bro
You're a life saver
@emmanuellebaku9367 Thanks for the comment bro, and glad it’s working out well for you. Once you do the Varre quest and unlock a quick way to Mohgwyn’s palace, the bird farm will get you to level 150 pretty quick. These are all the farms I use to power level characters up. The dragon is pretty tricky so I’d upload your save data to the cloud or put it on a thumb drive before attempting it so you can load it back up if the dragon dies for good.

Hope you are doing well in 2024, and looking forward to this years game lineup.
Yeah@@mid40sgamer . Had a feeling y'all had taken a hiatus. I've been busy playing other games in the meantime waiting for the EP DLC whenever it comes out.
I've played God of War Ragnarok (Love it) about 8 NG+s by now and also it's Valhalla DLC (Love that too) when it came out recently. Other games were Spiderman Miles Morales and Lords of the Fallen (turned out to be one of my favs too). About to start an NG+0 for Lords of the Fallen while waiting for Rise of the Ronin due to be released next month 22nd March which looks to be awesome.
@davidtsmith33 Haven’t given Lords of the Fallen a shot yet. Went with God of War, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo, Starfield, Lies of P and BG3 lol. All great games, although Starfield kinda died out for me.
@@mid40sgamer Lords of the Fallen turned out to be a great game. now doing a second run.
@davidtsmith33 I feel like we have similar taste in games, so I’ll 100% give it a shot after I finish up BG3.
Saw a video recently of someone using deaths poker and a torch on Greyoll and it sped things up quite a bit. Curious how that would change timings and totals...and you can cheese the death bird that drops it.
@vincereese2997 I just saw that one recently as well. Titus puts out some very clean, extremely accurate and informative videos. And the deaths poker method is pretty ingenious. As far as numbers go, depending on what weapons you use (weapons that build bleed faster, deaths poker method etc.) you can vastly bring that time down, so you could get in 2 runs every 3:20 instead of just 1. I could run total numbers on his method and see where they fall hourly and get back to you with an average. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@mid40sgamer76 that's awesome! Thank you =D
@vincereese2997 No worries Vince, I’m checking out the timing now, got into the weeds doing some “NG+” math for another person who had a comment, and they were saying you get 1 Million per Jump glitch in NG+, because they saw it in a video. (In
NG+1 at most the glitch is 396,585 every 2 min, and the bird still beats it).
I Mil isn’t NG+ numbers……it’s more like NG+7 numbers. The rampant (repeated) rune glitch click bait promises have caught a hold of people. I literally just saw one where a guy jumps up a cliff face, and runs all the way back to where the tree jump cliff is and jumps off….it blows my mind lol.
@mid40sgamer76 anything for views. 🤷 This is why I subbed your channel. You showed good info here. Stuff we needed a year ago lol this is great for new toons, though...the bird is just so efficient. I'm on ng+7 with the scarab and it was like 30k a kill. Which you can get like every 5 seconds. That'll be tough to be beat. Greyoll farm is the only thing I can see being more efficient than the blood palace hill.
@vincereese2997 It does change the numbers quite a bit, since in 3 minutes and 30 seconds on average you can get 3 Dragon Kills in at 50k each with no rune boost running, which was 150k in 3 minutes 30 second. The method is 100% solid. The only drawback is I couldn’t get the bird to jump off the cliff for some reason, so instead I jumped down from where the Dragon was and ran to the cliffs above the bird and just killed it from range. Hope that helps!
Hey what bow did you use for the bird farm and what ability best I have right now is a short bow and a great bow I can’t use
@silverlinegaming3933 I just use the Longbow you buy from the Twin Maiden Husks in the round table hold, grab a ton of arrows from Kale in the church of Ellah, and all set. Hope that helps you out. Good Hunting out there!
I like to add the bird and the one wave of gold and reset, gotten pretty good at aiming just right to hit the bird. NG+5 the bird is almost 30k I'm currently lvl 361
@LucidGamer727 That’s a bold move. I suppose if you can shoot it quick and then run up to the rock with the Sacred Relic sword and Send it, I don’t see it adding too much more time to the equation. Although, I’d really have to test how many bird + sword runs I can get in with 1 fowl foot, and see how that compares to just the sword runs. I’m gonna give it a shot. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!

you could potentially add the bird shooting to the wave of gold farm if you wanted to add up even more runes before you rest at the site of grace, but it's debatable if you actually save or waste more time without it.
I finally did the bird rune farm last night, and it’s without a doubt the best rune farm.
My friends kept telling me about the birds but explained nothing and I haven't seen anyone actually explain it. I bought this forever ago and absolutely hated it and when the DLC came out decided to try again because my friends are all over it again, even though we are on different systems and can't actually play together. This explained literally everything, concisely, thought out, and in short order and after work I will 100% be doing this.
@iirawrd These farms are the best there are, every better than the DLC farms as far as numbers go. Also pushed out a video that explains all the Rune “boost” mechanics. If you get stuck or have questions just give a shout. Good Hunting out there!
Also don't forget to do this at night too. There is a chance an enemy will have glowing eyes for more runes. :3
@gamerwolf500 Thanks for the comment! 100% correct. I didn’t cover it in this video but I covered all the ways to boost runes gained in a seperate video, including enemies with eyes of gold effect. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
I didn't know that 😮
OMG THAS EXLAPLAINS IT ALL! I was testing the bird method, and a couple of times the bird rewarded me with around 80k souls instead of 17k with the golden scarab an pickle! Another point to the bird over free falling
@maxjvm The golden eye mechanic also works at the ball farm believe it or not (not sure how a magical ball gets golden eyes. But it’s a mechanic that happens to all enemy types. See you in the DLC; and Good Hunting out there!
@dennisjezewski5387 There are actually a few different mechanics that increase runes that are pretty obscure like this one, “Overkill” being another good one. The last video I pushed out on the channel explains them all. See you in the DLC, and as Always….Good Hunting out there!
The XP farm card design is excellent 👌
@TheBoosh66 Thanks! I figured the genre fit pretty well and it’s a great visual to get info across.

Good vid. Math over wishful thinking. I gave up at level 498. Just did not have the patience any more. Now I just start new characters each time. At the end of the day, the game is a loot gathering game with combat walls to break through to get more loot. Once I get everything, and I have, there is no motivation any more. Nice vid. Subbed. Oh, and I am a mid 60s gamer. 😊

I figured people may want to know what the actual numbers were, since the space is inundated with videos that promise millions of runes, but don't caveat it with the fact they are in NG+7. 100% it's very much a loot based combat RPG (easily the greatest I've played) and not much changes, and not for nothing but I stopped playing for a while after collecting everything in the game and around level 515 in NG+. Now that the DLC has a hard date, my interest is back, and I'm headed into a new play-through so I can stop the character right before turning over to NG+. If I've learned anything from Dark Souls 3, it's that Fromsoftware DLC's are not forgiving, and I'll never forget sweating a little bit when the Sister Freida fight went into a 3rd phase. I expect nothing less from the ER DLC. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
At the end of the day, you can either beat the game (I haven't) legitimately (without excessive looting), or you can loot and rune-farm your way there to beating the game (I haven't, lol). Above all, you WILL have to beat a number of bosses to beat the game :)

@mid40sgamer76 don't worry I think I found it. Will contact u on instagram
What level should I be to start and finish everything to even get to the bird?
@lapdgamblefails Comfortably, level 45-50 should be more than enough if you are new to the game. If you want to know what I would do if I was new to the game and wanted a complete playthrough experience;
I’d grab level 45 with either the ball or dragon farm. Then I’d Clear up Stormveil, and Kill Godrick. Then I’d head into Liurnia to advance the Varré quest at the Rose Church. Invade other players 3 times (since traveling to Altus Plateau prematurely advances a bunch of side quest stories). Grab the cloth and head to the 4 Belfry’s. Beat the grafted Scion in the Chapel of Anticipation, soak the cloth, and then head to Mogwhyn’s Palace and farm the bird. After leveling to whatever level I wanted, I’d go back and easily clear everything in Limgrave, WP, Caelid, and Liurnia. Once everyhing in those areas were mopped up and I was satisfied I’ve completed everything, then I’d head up to Altus.
The thing about using the NPC invasion method to advance Varres quest is that, traveling to Altus Plateau advances a handful of side quests like the Blaiid and Alexander’s quest.
Hope that helps!
Stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….. Good Hunting!
Thanks for a solid break down, hugely appreciated and making me sub to your channel :D
@jacquesarangles8603. Anytime! Glad you enjoyed it, and that it helped out. Thank you for the sub, and welcome to the channel! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
If you don’t want to have to buy a bunch of arrows or make them you can also use Lorettas great bow to agro the bird!
The Hoarfrost stomp Ash works as a semi decide replacement for the legendary great-sword on the hill clear part. It's nowhere near as quick, but I probably pulled in 1M runes in just under an hour last night (with a couple of deaths due to sloppiness)... I definitely need to try the murder turkey bow trick this evening as I still haven't finished this dam game yet!
Also, great video, buddy. Keep up the good work!
@benclark2856 So if you get dragon rot breath with Dragon communion seal and Roar medallion that’s a pretty quick method if you don’t have the sword. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
I'm doing a faith build, but I'd only need to pump x2 levels into Arcane to grab this. Thanks, man! I'll give it a spin later and report back.
I thought the bird farm was, if not equal to, better than the jump glitch. Jump glitch doesn't always go smoothly. Arrows have a very high ROI. Thanks for the math brother!
@bryongliege8090 Anytime brother! I did a lot of testing, and it’s just better. People will say, “well if you keep falling you get more”, sure if you want to add another 20-30seconds onto it, and the second Rune dump is small. The Bird beats them every-time mid game. And there are tons of people who say they get 500k per fall, yes sure you do in NG+3 and NG+4 etc. (but you get more for the bird in NG+ as well so it’s relative). And 100% the Return on Investment for arrows is huge. I’m in the middle of trying to Rune farm a character to max in the first play-through to show the actual time it would take (super-long lol) and then I’ll do a few videos on some Max level play against NG+ Bosses lol. Thanks for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always….Good Hunting!!
I think I have seen a few shows on the best rune farm. Some use the idea that I use however, I have refined it further. There are a few requirements and #1 is The Starscourge Great sword and a Talisman that raises attack power with successive attacks.
, which I think was actually made for the starcaller cry.
From the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace you begin your run.
Btw, the roar medallion is very helpful here too.
Pop fowl foot and start at the bottom right in front of the E.T. by the hedge. Do the full two hits then head back up to the closest one to the grace in the center.
The reason for doing it this way is that it gives you a far greater chance of wiping out the dart throwing E.T.'s which also yield more runes per kill. If you are powerful enough, you may only need to hit the last target with one hit instead of two.
This is a first playthrough farm, the fancy sword that some show taking out the whole bunch (the Sacred Relic Sword) with one swing does not come until the end of the game.
The last point is the time math. With the one swing sword in one minute nets around 190,000 runes. I did my run with the duration of the fowl foot which lasts about 3 minutes.
In comparison, in one minute I collect about 104,000 runes.
Final words, in reality the only new thing I am suggesting is that you start your run at the bottom.
@legodac Outstanding post! I’ll give it a shot from the bottom and see how the time and numbers work. It’s funny you should mention ton a different way to farm it pre-relic sword. I did some math on a bunch of different methods, and Roar Medallion, Dragon Communion Seal, and Dragon Rot Incantation really clears out the hill in a few breaths. Just trying to get the timing and pattern down to maximise effectiveness. Thanks again for this comment, and thanks for getting into the numbers on it. I’ll give it a shot for sure, right after I finish up the video I’m currently working on. Until next time, stay safe out there; and as Always….Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Thanks old guy...lol...I'm 62 and used to be a die hard Zelda fan. This game takes the cake. My apologies if I offended anyone. I'm going to give the dragon a chance too, thanks for that
@legodac First, I 100% remember blowing the dust out of a Gold cartridge and pushing it down a certain way so it would work. Second, much like you I come from a time where no one gets offended over anything (we just bust people’s balls all the time; that & I have no feelings, so there’s nothing to hurt). Third, I’ll get you the timing on rot breath hill clears as soon as I finish this video I’ve been working on for 3 weeks lol. Thanks again for the comment, it’s appreciated.
@@mid40sgamer For the first time I figured out how to record a video clip. I don't have a channel but I am linked to youtube. Would you like me to send my video directly to you and you can use it how you want. Just tell me how to send it to you
@legodac Sure brother, I’ll look at the video. I could likely use it to create a video on “alternate” ways to farm Runes at the hill site. I’ll use your method, and a few other methods, and give you a shout out for your method. You can send any stuff you want me to check out to mid40sgamer@gmail.com. And if you want I can always be reached on discord if you’d rather speak freely there discord.gg/X9bBm2UC
I’ll be pushing out whatever content I can to help folks before the DLC, so it will likely be a lot of Elden Ring content for the next few months, and then the rest of the year.
Appreciate the support, and look forward to seeing what you have.
Thanks bro finally something that works
@londayi8863 Anytime brother! Glad it helped you out. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
sorry for stupid question, but for bird farm need lots of arrow
how do we buy or get them?
@jackasad2180 There’s no such thing as a stupid question brother. You can buy arrows from Kale the merchant in the Church of Ellah at the start of the game (it’s a 9 iron away from the First Step site of grace). Good Hinting out there!
You do NOT need arrows. Use Rock Sling spell. Zero cost! If you don't have the 18 Int needed to use it, you should be able to raise your int that far with items.
Of course arrows are cheap compared to all the runes you get, but with Rock Sling, you don't have to spend any time shopping for arrows at all.
works every time, I did it 10 times in a row with the dragon, just made sure I was on my mount near the very end of her health and swung the flail till I seen her last bleed and she shivers then you run immediately to the grace and bam, more points to level up with. Got Vigor to 40 and Str to 40, end to 20 before I moved on with the game.
@MrSmithwayne Awesome! Glad you have it dialled in and it’s working for you. The Bird farm is the next big farm where you can really take in Runes and push levels pretty high. Thanks for the comment, stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
At Lenne's Rise, as you get the 1952 runes, press map->Y/triangle->A/X twice. This will quickly put you right back at the site of grace you last rested at, and saves a couple of seconds in itself.
@azalea_k Thanks for this comment, it’s appreciated. 100% You can use that method, and it does save a few seconds just keep in mind that when you fast travel you’ll lose the gold picked fowl foot effect. Which means you’ll be losing out on total RPM. If you’re not running fowl feet the fast travel method works well. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Good point! I don't think I'd farmed any four toed fowl feet before going there last playthrough, so I didn't use gold ones.
@azalea_k Fast Travel does work good without feet, so if you weren’t using them, fast travel works out. If you want to farm a ton of feet before Shadow drops, I put out a video shortly after this one that covers all the Rune Boost mechanics in the game, and some good farming spots for feet. Hope it helps!
@@mid40sgamer I'll give it a watch. Right now my fave spot is the Weeping Peninsula coastline, after dropping a silver foot.
@azalea_k That’s a solid farm for feet 100%.
I think im on ng5, the last ones, the best farm. Not the clift one ? I should test it out
Is there a good alternative to the Sacred Relic Sword for the Albinuric farm?
@jonbigg7385 These are a few actually, where are you at in your game? One of my favourite alternatives is the Blasphemous Blade if you have the faith to use it. I’ve also actually used dragon breath incantations (with dragon communion seal and howl of shabriri) to clear up the hill as well. It all depends on your build and what’s available really.
@mid40sgamer76 Thanks. This is my first playthrough. The last two bosses I beat were the Godskin Duo and Mohg. I current still working through Farum Azula. My current build is a battle mage. I've recently started working on raising my faith. With Talisman active it's currently at 23. I started trying out the Blasphemous Blade last night. It's certainly not as quick at clearing those Albanurics, but maybe I just need to raise my faith more.
@jonbigg7385 Sounds like you are doing a pretty good job on your first run. I’m currently working on a new run to showcase a Samurai build I like using, and faith is a part of it. If you need a boost in faith you could always grab the Faithknot tear from the Weeping peninsula, and throw it into your wonderous physick until you level your faith a bit.
Best guide ive seen in elden ring ever
@spencerpillar6464 Thanks man I appreciate that. I’m looking forward to start transitioning back to Elden Ring for the DLC release. Glad you liked the video, stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!

@@xler3441What is bud yapping about a religion in a Elden ring Video 💀
You can write a Macro in Softwares like iCUE from Corsair (in case you have a Keyboard from Corsair). The last Method runs fully automatic for me :) 45k runes every 26 seconds afk
First of all, congrats on the video, it is awesome. However, I must point out you are not taking into consideration a very important step when comparing the bird farm method with the glitch jumping one, which is farming to make the Gold Pickled Fowl Foot. It will take at least 1 hour and a half to farm those birds foot to craft 60 of them and half of it for make 31. Só, at the end, 60 runs in the bird method will not grant you more runes compared with the glitch jumping without that golden foot item.
@MatheusSilva-vv4tg Thanks for this comment, it’s appreciated. I’ll have to run the numbers with just the scarab and compare them both that way as well, since the scarab is a constant variable that can be applied to both methods. I can also take into account the average times the jump is made and the times the jump is failed/missed. I’d still be willing to bet the bird is more consistent in terms of RPM and RPH. But I’ll have to test it out since I don’t have that info on hand. Thanks again for the comment, and for the fowl foot farm variable. Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer absolutely. Even though I prefer the glitch jumping through the rocks beside the blood river (not the tree one), it takes me sometimes forever to get the first layer correctly hahaha
@MatheusSilva-vv4tg I also should have mentioned if you don’t have the Relic Sword but you’re running an Arcane Build, dragon’s breath Incant works in the hill too. I always miss something lol.
@@mid40sgamer oh, that's a great tip, man. I was upset I could not go ahead with the last one suggested in the video. I'm a 182 dexterity focused character and my main goal right now is exactly to beat the last boss lol. I'll try the breath for sure. Thanks!!!
I accidentally hit white mask and now when I go there he try’s to eliminate me can I still get the Tp to the good rune farm?
@oneassassin So you’ll need to pick up a Celestial Dew (one can be found on a corpse leaning against the inner side of the Raya Lucaria Academy locked gate). Then go to the church of Vows in Liurnia of the Lakes, and you’ll be able to use it to ask for absolution at the statue, that should reset Varré back to friendly again. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there and Good Hunting!!!
@@mid40sgamer thank you
@oneassassin Anytime brother, have fun at the bird farm!
I just do the mohg farm with sacred relics waves of gold ability over and over, but it's getting difficult to get more levels in ng+ I get around 7k runes per enemy it kills with golden scarab and gold fowl foot. I get around 70k runes per 15 secs or so haven't counted but I did count it takes around 14 runs for the gold pickled fowl foot to run out which gives around 1.2mil runes. Did it around 105x and only got enough for 16 levels lol, at 287 now
@Coolkid4205 It’s still the best method for Rune Farming, it’s just grindy. You’re on the right track though! 287 is getting up there. Thanks for the comment and Good Hunting out there brother!
Best video by far for rune farming straight to the point
@machoramos2469 Thanks brother I appreciate that. Glad the video helped out, have fun out there in the lands between and Good Hunting!

@dakotaknight Thanks brother, appreciate that. Working up another video with some new high speed motion graphics, should be out by the weekend. Until next time stay safe out there, and as Always….Good Hunting!
group of enemies by the elevator to Mohg is a great spot. use grace to reset enemies, repeat
For the last method, the sacred sword one ... wich build do i have to use ? I'm a mage now but in what do i respec my char ? Amazing video was using the bird strat from the beginning when the game came out. It helped me a lot now at level 216 🤓
@scendepuydt9234 So I didn’t have alter my build drastically. I just pushed the sword up to +10 and increased my faith enough to where one swing took care of the hill. The wave scales primarily off faith, so as you increase faith, you increase the damage of the wave. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
@@mid40sgamer tried it out this morning it's amazing in like 20 min i got almost 6 mil runes !
Thanks a lot !
@svendepuydt9234 Anytime man, enjoy!
I see a new video almost everyday promising millions of runes in 5 minutes, but they all lie. So sick of it. Its always the same jump glitch from a "new" spot that give 150,000 after making tricky jumps for 5 minutes. So lame. Thanks for crunching the numbers on the different methods!!
@outofthegamer Anytime, and thanks for this comment. I know what you’re talking about, some of those videos have some poor packaging. It’s like going to the store and picking up a jar of skippy peanut butter but when you get home and open it, it’s full of Lima Beans. It’s one of the reasons I crunched the exact numbers, and showed the exact times. Viewers should be correctly informed and deserve well produced content; not fooled into watching a video just to find out 1 minute into it that it’s the same video that’s posted over and over weekly. I did a video last year on all the numbers on every jump glitch that works, and they are all pretty much trash, unless you’re just using it as a quick one shot payout for cash to upgrade weapons. The best farm is still the Palace Approach Ledge Hill Farm as actual numbers go. Thanks again for this comment! See you in the DLC, and as Always…..Good Hunting out there!
@@mid40sgamercould you make a vid of secondary weapon options that could be used if you haven’t defeated the final boss for the farm hill method?
@kzukiodenthechad7205 Sure thing, might take a day or two to get all the timing in on what weapon is the best but I can manage that.
@kzukiodenthechad7205 What may work for you, depending on you’re build is dragons rot breath, with the dragon communion seal, you’ll have to level the seal till you have S-teir scaling and then slap the roar medallion on as well. Hope that helps in the mean time.
Are all the numbers you had shown on first run through or on ng+
@hammysteele6054 All numbers are first Playthrough brother. The best being the last farm where you fire for effect on the hill with Sacred Relic Sword. Hope that helps. Good Hunting out there!
@@mid40sgamer perfect I'm on NG+4 and level 379 just trying to get around the 500 mark before the dlc

POV me who killed the dragon
And got mad at Varre and killed him
@hussainbashir569 That’s rotten luck my friend, sorry to hear it.
I did the dragon again after getting back in to the game and as soon as I activated the site of grace the dragon died and that was it
@STEELCURTAIN675 So one of the things you can do if you aren’t sure you’ll make it is just back up your saved data. It’s a cheesy way of Hard saving the game at a single moment in time. I did a video a long way back that outlined how to do it. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer I tried that too, I did the dragon again and same thing,I know I made it back before it died, as soon as I activated the site of grace it died again. I just gave up after that and started with the ball again until I can get to mhogs to do the bird farm method again
@STEELCURTAIN676 That’s wild. What system do you play on? I’m currently doing a pretty sweet build video and the dragon farm is a part of it since you’ll need quite a few levels to get it rolling. The ball is pretty good though, albeit a bit boring; but whatever works.
@@mid40sgamer series x
@STEELCURTAIN675 I typically play on PS5, but I play Series X for Starfield, Halo, and Gears. The dragon could be an Xbox thing, not entirely sure. Either way, once you get to the bird, you are 100% set.

@huh5467 Appreciate you brother, and the comment! Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
i kill varre, the dragon and im still in midgame, is there any suggestion to another rune farming?
@hoisdisguy7400 Unfortunately if you killed Varré and the Dragon there aren’t any other real comparable spots that are easy. The only other option I can think of is killing Vulgar Militiamen in Greyolls Dragon Barrow near the Farum Great Bridge Site of Grace. You can just run loops in that area if you can kill them quickly, it’s decent for Runes. Depending on how much you’ve done so far, it may be worth it (power level wise) to spin up another playthrough, and not kill Varré (or the dragon). Sorry I don’t have better news for you; stay safe out there, and as Always…. Good Hunting!
Haven't run the numbers, but if you go to the dragonbarrow fork site of grace and head up the hill towards the minor erdtree there are a bunch of tree guardians (can't remember the exact name, guys with spears). If you're a magic/incantations user they are REAL easy to farm and only take a couple minutes. I think with the golden scarab I was getting about 28k every run. Not the most efficient, especially if you're melee (can take longer to kill them) but it works midgame.
Great, concise video. Bird Farm is great.

While not able to be utilized more than once, I still like abusing the glitches for both the Night's Cavalry by Lenne's Rise and Flying Dragon Greyll (also located in Caelid as mentioned). Most of us know the abuse for the Night's Cavalry to get it to jump off the bridge, and you can just lure FDG to the other end of the bridge and make it trigger the jump/fall animation, which will kill it almost instantly. I think this gets you about 200,000 runes, which also isn't bad for not actually having to fight anything up front.
@jamesbaxter8734 Thanks for the comment James. The Knights Cavalry is still a good one, way back when the game first launched you could lure him up the hill and poison trap him to death as well. A lot of the tricks where you can get easy runes (if only once) are fun to pull off for sure. Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
Mad Respect!
@EEloco Thanks for the comment, appreciate that! Hope the video helps; stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…..Good Hunting!
I also just guided him off the ledge instead of following the path up . Go around to the tree at the end of the bridge on the left have him follow you then get behind the tree he will quickly fall off
Please help!!!! I’m trying to make the torrent ball trap farm work but I don’t get any runes for doing it
@markforsey547 Sure thing Mark, so if the ball doesn’t fall sideways off the cliff, and it goes straight you won’t get the runes. So when you make that bottom turn, just slow down slightly near the cliff edge and then hit the gas. The ball will track your location near the cliff and then it will cruise off the cliff sideways and give you the runes. Hope that helps! Stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
I can't get to the bird farming spot. I keep dying. Do you have a video of the path you took?
@raymondhernandez4120 Thanks for the comment Ray, I think I can help direct you via comment section;
From the Dynasty Mausoleum site of grace, jump off the near edge to the North East and then hop on torrent and ride as fast as you can to the Northeast and then slowly turn to the east until you reach the blood pond. Then head south following the zone wall on your left all the way up to the Palace Approach Ledge site of Grace. Hope that helps. Good Hunting out there!
Would you believe i found the big bird farm on my own the first month the game came out? LMAO. So i get there right.. Im just looking over the cliff and I see this big ole bird there. I didn’t think nothing of it.. Im like, “Ill get to you soon big boy”. But I died on the way there. So i respawn and I’m so mad Im all like “Ok im gunna shoot this thing in the butt cruise im mad!” I shoot it in the butt while its walking and it turns and runs right over the cliff. And Im all like “There’s no way i can recreate that. That has to be a 1 in a million bug or something.” But then I tried it again, and again, and AGAIN. Like clockwork. I was so excited i got on the internet to see if anyone else found it and sure enough there was like 5 recent videos from weeks before that had that farm in it. But he s! like the man said “It is pound for pound the best farm in the game” and im so glad to see this video was made a month ago and it still works!
Two years ago when Elden Ring came out I pre ordered this game not because it was a fromsoft game like many others did, but because I was addicted to open world games. I can’t tell you how much i got my butt beat in this game as a noob to souls-like games. But I beat it using allot of cheeses LOL.. But when i beat it i find out that there is close to a dozen souls and souls-like games so I vowed to play them all. And I did! All the Dark Souls games, demon souls, Bloodbourne, Sekiro, mortal shell and over the past month I’ve been finishing Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen. I know I’m forgetting some but you get the gist. Now that I’m a FromSoft veteran I’ve come back to the game that started it all! And it’s hilarious how easy the bosses are now. I mopped up all of the bosses with ease with barely any farming just to see how good my skills have gotten and so far the ONLY boss that gave me trouble was the crucible knight in those gaoler things. Can’t wait to see how I fair in the mid to late game bosses.
@desertegle40cal First, Love the story, and your TH-cam name (the 44 mag DE in Burnt bronze is my favourite). Second, I can totally believe it, there are a few odd things I came across in ER year 1, and by the time I got the video together other channels already posted it 3 times over (wish I could produce faster lol….it’ll buff out eventually).
Also I can relate to the obsession with open world games, some of my favourites being Skyrim, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Witcher 3, etc. Although I will admit I get sucked into all the side quests, every time. I got sucked into Souls Games in the same way and played them all (gonna do a rerun of Sekiro, and a DS3 Ringed City run through before ER DLC launches since I’m betting Shadow of the Erdtree will up the difficulty). Really enjoyed Lies of P, it was the perfect mix of action, NPC encounters and duel stage boss fights. And the weapon customisation was a nice touch (Bone Saw with Police Baton Handle).
Really looking forward to facing off against the ER DLC Bosses. Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Actually my friend, my name isn’t named after the full sized Desert Eagles. And since you are a mid 40s gamer I am assuming (Im 42) then we most likely grew up in the same era, im gunna give you a pro piece of info only a few people have today from a southern gun collector thats been collecting for over 25 years. Before I could even legally own guns LOL.. When someone says “I have a desert Eagle 40cal, 357 magnum, or 9mm”. You can automatically assume that any Desert Eagle in the smaller common rounds like the ones I just named aren’t Full Sized Desert Eagles. They are Baby Eagles. About the size of a Glock. Made by Magnum Research (and another company ill get into in a moment). The same company that makes the Full Sized Desert Eagles. Now back 20 years ago when the baby eagles first came out they marketed them as Desert Eagle 40 cal, Desert Eagle 9mm and so on. But that confused people with the full sized guns. So they rebranded them Baby Eagles. My screen name that is attached to my email that you are seeing was made during that time approximately 20 years ago. Before the rebranding. Now don’t get the baby eagle confused with its twin. The Jericho 941. Why they have two exact guns that have different names is up for debate. Some people say the two guys that created Magnum research got in a fight and split. One continued with the desert eagle line and the other created the Jerricho line. So just know that when you see a gun that looks like a baby eagle you need to look closer to see which one it is. A Jerricho or a Baby Eagle. Just a little pro collector tip if you ever get in a conversation with a veteran collector so they don’t get you with a gotcha question about that timeframe to see how learned you are about the firearms. :-) I did have a tiger striped 50AE desert eagle for a long while. Cost be like 3500 bucks and I only shot it like 3 times and the ammo was GD ridiculously expensive. So I sold it for a IWI Tavor x95 assault rifle and decked her out with some sights and stuff.
Yeah my favorite open world games are Borderlands 1 2 and 3. Thats where I fell in love with them again. The first being ZELDA BABY! Ocarina of Time in like the late 90s. Then like The Witcher 3 and those Shadows of Mordor games. I never got to play skyrim and theres another game just like it that i never played. Its on the tip of my tongue. Lol..
But yea man I loved Lies of P too and i can’t wait till that Wizard of Oz DLC to come out.. Well at least thats what they teased at the end of the game. I figure they are just using the public domain to create their ideas or something lol.. But that would be AWESOME. I love how there was an element of dark noir in that game.. SO AWESOME! And my favorite weapon was the bone saw with the Mjolnir handle. Making it the longest reach in the game and the best weapon to put them into a posture for a critical strike i thought. The hardest boss being the nameless puppet LOL.. They rest of them were relatively easy. Also liked the Salamander fire dagger on the Crystal Spear handle so it has the same move set with a longer reach.
Yeah man I CAN’T WAIT for the Elden Ring DLC. Thats why im playing it again right now. I missed allot of side quests and areas in my first playthrough and it was SO HARD for me to beat that I didnt do a second play through until two years later for the simple fact that it was SO GD HARD for me. So a buddy of mine, from Ogles Gaming, told me about ALLLLLL the other fromsoft and souls-like games I would want to play first to make Elden Ring more manageable. SO for the past two years I have been searching for all those types of games and after I played Lies of P and then Lords of the Fallen (best order to play them in my opinion) I was ready for Elden Ring again. So here I am.. Kicking butt and having a blast now that i know what im doing. And I can’t wait to get the dung eater summons this time. That was the summons I desperately tried to get but because I did some things wrong in the first play though it locked me out of getting him as a summons and that dude is a BEAST. I want him lol. But i do like how the skeleton summons can keep being reborn lol.. The majority of bosses and places where you can call a summons do not know you need to finish them off while they are on the ground so they just keep respawning over and over lol. I love it! Never knew that in my first play though! LMAO!!
Sorry for talking your ear off LOL.. I just don’t have many folks to talk games with.. Here in Florida its all about fishing, hunting, riding four wheelers, camping and shooting. They just think they are too MACHO for video games and I just laugh at them and tell them they aren’t smart enough, coordinated enough or good enough to play the games I play like the souls games we have been talking about. You have to be a pretty good gamer to play these games or you will get stuck at a gatekeeper boss and never progress further than that LOL.. I even let my buddies try some bosses out sometimes and watch as they epically fail each and every time. Before they tell me “only nerds play video games”. And I tell them that at least my brain wont turn into mush before yours! Because video games keeps the brain sharp. No wonder im always out smarting them in certain areas LOL.
@desertegle40cal You and a friend I work with would immediately get along (and likely go back and forth for hours) since he literally knows everything (everything) when it comes to firearms (talked me into taking the Ruger armorers course…and the Colt one). But a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything firearm related. So I may blind side him with the knowledge you shared.
I played all the borderlands game as well, and picked up the Handsome Jack collection, loved the Critical Conference Call (mine was an acid one) and I spent a lot of time Cheesing the slot machines with a glitch I found. All in all, loved the series and the Badass Crater of Badassitude DLC intro (I still look up the clip now and again because it’s hilarious).
Can’t wait for the DLC either, and I’m hoping (and predicting) that this DLC will be comparable difficulty wise to DS3’s The Ringed City. It’s why I’m just staging 2 non-NG+ characters in Mogwyn’s palace (Lvl 150, Lvl 512 so far lol) with all the best items I can grab in a single Playthrough, since all DLC content should follow the scaling of NG+ Level. One for the legit playthrough and one to just walk all over the DLC for exploring etc.
Literally all my friends Hunt and fish, have 4-wheelers or side by sides too but they play video games as well, they just like FPS games, and when I play online those are the games I play Coop (playing Baldurs Gate 3 Coop, but it takes forever). After being in the Infantry for 20 years, I can tell you first hand I’ve known some of the most “Macho” dudes….play games (even Open world RPGs); so don’t let your buddies blow smoke in your direction.
Until next time stay safe out there brother, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Hey, did you say you had 20 years of infantry under your belt? Are you a military veteran too? I was in the Navy for 5 years. Was attached to the USS Carl Vinson and USS John C Stennis Aircraft carriers as an Aviation Structural Mechanic. And one thing i loved about being in the military was how diverse it was. You could literally find someone in your command who did literally ANYTHING you do. Play videos games, hike, go skiing, camping or just heading to LA for a weekend to party. So I had my buddies id play video games with and buddies id go camping fishing and skiing with. But i always thought it was weird they never gave out hunting licenses. But we were in CA so that might of been the problems. I was stationed at the Lemoore CA Navy air base. Right outside of Fresno and only an hour and a half from fresh powder in the winter and loads of hiking and camping in the summer. CA was fun to be stationed at. Lots of things to do even though our base was in the middle of nowhere in a desert lol..
Man did you bring up a blast from the past. THE CONFERENCE CALL. I remember before they nerfed that thing it was literally an impossible beast. The way it hit you from all sides was the most awesome gimmick in the game. I had all renditions of that weapons because, i farmed just about every single awesome or unique weapon every single time a new game came out. So there wasn’t a legendary weapon I didn’t have multiple versions of lol.. I would look for glitches and cheeses too. But I never truly knew what a CHEESE actually was until i started playing Elden Ring. The first fromsoft game i ever experienced and if it wasn’t for Tyrannicon gaming I would have never beat it LOL.. But Borderlands was the first time I learned of what FARMING was. Because I would beat bosses over and over just to try and get a specific SUPER RARE drop. SO I always had multiples of the same weapon lol. And in the first and second borderlands there was the dashboard glitch you could use. Because the saves were only when you entered or exited an area. So i would fight a boss, see what they dropped and if it wasn’t anything I wanted I would dashboard the game and reload it and the boss would be back.. I would do that over and over until I got the weapon I wanted. In the second Borderlands game they then made that machine that could pop out legendary weapons if you put in the right stuff. Except this time they made it so the game would save if you picked up a weapon but it would only save the weapon to your inventory and not the entire game. So you could dashboard the game and the items you used would be reset and you’d STILL get the weapon you made. Not sure if this was a glitch or something they added on purpose but it was AWESOME. I hardly ever used any weapons that weren’t legendaries LOL.. Man that was a blast.
But I got issues with this last rendition. They made the bosses WAY too hard and without and scaled them to be impossible without a specific weapon that was more of an accident than it was on purpose. To farm weapons you need to go to the arena but the bosses were just way to overpowered scaling off your character and many bosses had impossible shields that didn’t respond to electricity like the two prior games did. If a boss had a shield, even if you had the WEAKEST electric elemental gun and the boss had a HUGE shield bar, the electricity would chew up that shield no matter now weak it was. But now in the new one it seems they just don’t respond to electricity like they used to. Made the game impossible to beat and even if you were a high level the bosses would just scale up with you and become harder. And I am a good gamer, I can hold my own but if im fighting a boss for 20 or 30 minutes just to get his shield down then that is just tedious and not fun at all. Sorta lost hope that the Borderlands Series would get any better. But they had their hay day and here’s hoping they wise up LOL..
I subscribed to your channel BTW. Ill be looking for new relevant videos so keep it up my friend. I think the gaming industry is only growing with new technology so im certain channels like yours will be needed! Its always great to chat it up with another gamer!
@desertegle40cal Sure did, and I’ve worked with the Navy on a few different deployments, even my last one. I really liked the MSRON guys, they were good group. My take aways from them were; Never Call a Seabee “Shipmate”, and they educated me on what a “Shellback” meant.
You are right, working with so many different people you could find a lot of alignment with the things you like to do, and never a shortage of people to go out for a beer or 20.
Borderlands wore thin here too, a lot of time was spent farming and re- downloading save game data cheesing, just to find the weapons you wanted.
As far as content the next video is still under production, since I took 2 weeks to really learn Adobe After effects, in order to bring a fun cinematic experience to gaming guides. Plugging away at it in my free time and it looks like I should be able to push it out this weekend if my computer compiles it (don’t have the greatest computer for rendering lol, one day though).
Great talking with you and hope you enjoy the next video!
I was trying to revert to a save before I failed the dragon farm. Booted back in and big dragon gone but no runes. SO sad. I guess this is start over time
@gOld3nh34rt You could always just push forward and do Varre’s Quest since the bird farm is the best Midgame farm out there; instead of starting over. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
It’s all good I ended up starting again fresh and cut my time in half to get back to where I was. It’s getting my skills back up anyway 😂. Love your content! I have been using your channel and fextra Life on my first 4 play throughs. ❤
@g0ld3nh34rt That’s a pretty big compliment that I appreciate more than I can say since Fextralife always has such clean content, and he speaks extremely well on the mic. It’s hard to keep up with that kind of video output doing this part time, but maybe one day haha. Thanks again for the comment brother, and good hunting out there!
You just helped me level up big time thank you!
@donovanhawk155 Anytime brother! Glad the video helped; I’ll be pushing out a bunch of updated ER videos next week to prep for the expansion. Stay safe out there and Good Hunting!
On that first method with the ball, you don't use the bridge with the dragon on it to reach Lenne's Rise. You have to take a different bridge just east of that one.
@teknogothyk Thanks for the comment. You can use either way both will get you there. The path to the east is filled with poison traps (and don’t take the easy path at night because bridge is guarded by Night’s Cavalry). That being said I just outlined the most direct route which is a quick ride past the dragon, make a left through the small graveyard and jump down onto the spirit spring next to Lenne’s Rise (since it’s the fastest way). Thanks again for the comment! Until next time stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Just got the game 3 days ago, havent beaten Godrick the Grafted yet, but some dude invaded my world, dropped that golden sacred sword you showed, then killed himself... Will I be able to do that last method at my low level?
@12677789 If someone gifted you the sword via invasion, you can 100% use the hill method. Just keep in mind that you may need to increase your faith or upgrade the sword via somber smithing stones to get the most out of it. Hope that helps; stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
@@mid40sgamer Wow, fast reply. Gotta sub now lol
@12677789 Appreciate that! Figured you were looking to get into some Rune Farming as soon as possible, and needed a quick answer. There’s no better place than Mohgwyn’s Palace for it.
My favorite place to farm has to be deep root 🤷🏽
@obywan7901 I use to farm the fire spitting statues there, I had a super quick run when I was dialed and it was fun, but the hill farm was a better return on the time investment albeit a little mindless and boring. But Deep root is a great place to stack some runes too. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
I wanted to try the jump glitch one with the white tree just to see it for myself, but I couldn't for the life of me make that jump! (I went into it with a ton of runes on me, too, stupidly. Oh, well. I'll farm them back.) So that one is not only inefficient, but stupidly difficult.
I've seen videos showing doing the albinauric hill with Mohg's Sacred Spear or other weapons, but I've tried that and all my other spells and weapons, and I've tried clearing the hill and just hitting the top few and quickly going back to the grace. For me at least, the bird is still faster than all of them!
But there's a jump farm that's TWICE as fast as the bird farm! It's the one at Ordina, Liturgical Town. Try it! Run it a few times -- site of grace, run up the stairs, jump, get the runes, fast travel to grace, repeat. I generally don't use fowl feet, as this would go through a lot of them; just the golden scarab is enough for me. Time this and get an average runes per time period, and compare to the bird farm.
I got a bit over 33,500 runes/minute with the bird farm, and just under 66,000 runes/minute with Ordina, Liturgical Town jump farm. Ordina it is for me, from now on! Bird farm early-to-mid game, but once you get to Consecrated Snowfield, Ordina is much better.
@AngiLong Thanks for the comment Angi, it’s appreciated. So I’ve covered a lot of Rune farms over the years, even all the jump glitches that still work as well (even though I’m not big on the whole Rune glitch thing). One thing you could try if you wanna farm the Hill early without the sacred relic sword, you could use Dragons Rot breath with the Dragon communion seal around +5 (+6 if you kill the Sellia Crystal tunnel boss for the somber stone), and the Roar Medallion from the limgrave tunnels. That clears the hill pretty well with a few breaths (around 45 Arcane should do). Thanks again for the comment, see you in the DLC, and as Always….Good Hunting!
@mid40sgamer I have tried many different weapons on that hill, including dragon breaths, and there are a few that do clear it with a few attacks, but none result in a rune farm anywhere near as fast as just killing the bird with rock sling. I do like testing out new weapons on the albinaurics, though.
And the farm I'm using for runes now, that for me, at least, is faster than the bird, is the jump at Ordina, Liturgical Town. It gets me runes faster and it's also nice that while I'm falling and just clicking to swing my sword every so often, I can also use the time to read or watch videos. :)
@Angi_Mathochist The bird is king for mid game first playthrough farming 100%. Love the meteorite staff and rock sling, epic combo. Glad you have a leveling plan, and found the methods that work for you. See you in the DLC, and as Always….Good Hunting!
Thank u sooo much👍
@m3tro214 Anytime! Glad I could help. Stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always….Good Hunting!
4:23 get on torrent just before you kill the dragon and you can get back to the grace faster.
It is called grinding for a reason, plus I like using the bolt of gransaxx for that last farm.
amazing guide bro, especially with the rune comparison!
@bagoosridsky6923 Thanks brother, appreciate you. See you in the DLC, and Good Hunting out there!
@@mid40sgamer youre welcome bro, see you in DLC too!
Does this take away from the experience for any of you? I remembered using a duping glitch in elder scroll and could never complete a play through cus it just wasnt the same as playing it vanilla.
@matthewjerome1546 There is also an insane crafting glitch in Skyrim that allows you to create insanely overpowered items if you alter between alchemy boosting enchanted equipment and enchantment boosting alchemy. It really made the game no fun when you could take out a dragon with 1 swing, and never take any damage. Every piece of armor I made had over 40k AC, Increased Health by 400k and Stamina regenerated at like 100k% lol. So I totally get where you’re coming from. Imo Rune farming doesn’t trivialise or take away from the experience, you could beat the game at level 1, or at Level 200, just depends on your skill level, but either way you still have to work for it. I mainly use it as an easy way to power level to that RL 125-150 mark which is optimal for most of the builds I like running. Sure you could go crazy and level to around RL 350-400 which will give you a bigger edge, but you could still get killed even at that level by some of heavy hitting bosses without the skill to back up you’re level. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!
Great video. Personally i find just playing the game is best farming method
@killianmeade Thanks for the comment! And thanks for the assessment of the video (took quite a bit of time to get some good production value in lol). So, I’ve done it a few ways, some playthroughs with no farming, a playthrough with a little bit of farming here and there, and a metric ton of farming to make me virtually indestructible. Honestly all of the playthroughs were enjoyable no matter which path I took. Thanks again for the comment, and Good Hunting out there!
Fuhhh I kinda killed the white mask guy is there any other way to get to the bird farm ?
@dimitributler7599 Well the good news is yes, there is another way to get to Mogwyn’s Palace. The bad news is that it’s through a portal that’s within the Consecrated Snow Fields, which is a late game area. So the only way to get there early, is to go through Varre’s quest. Sorry for the rotten news, you could start another play through if you really want to use that farm early 🤷🏼♂️. Until next time, stay safe out there Tarnished, and as Always…..Good Hunting!
