Where are you all farming runes?
Just reached lvl 60 and just got radahn as my second great rune. I have unlocked caelid, liurna, atlus plateau, and sofia river.

I do it north east of caelid, those little black cloak dudes. I would do the giant chicken but I haven’t got that far.

Is that the fort near the grace with the silver dead dragon?

no, it’s outside with that giant thing with wings standing on some steps. Don’t need to go near him.

ill have a look out for those mobs with the description.

Gonna look for that giant chicken too. Maybe I have that area already unlocked.

there are a few known ones, some at various stages of the game.

1 - NE of Caelid, can be access soon as you start. 1k per kill, about 20k per farm run and takes about 2mins if done on the horse. Easiest with a mage build.
2 - giant boulder trick, 2k per boulder, can do about 4 a minute. This is in the same area but a little further down.
3 - further down past the boulder, farming and killing npc for 40k per run. But lots more of them and closer together so tougher to do.
4 - giant chicken shooting, 17k each
5 - I saw this yesterday, it’s a glitch, you ride into the abyss off a cliff and you can get like 100k or more each time. I came across it on YouTube.

I was sort of tempted by this, despite my patchy history with previous Souls games. I’ve read that there are performance issues to the point where people have recommended using the PS4 version rather than the PS5 version. Is this still the case or has it been patched / updated so it’s better on the PS5 now?

Thanks

Yeah as above, North East of Caelid. The guys there are individuals, go down really easily, don't dodge and have a rubbish range attack but are somehow worth 1079 runes each. There's about 15-20 wondering around in the open up there. Kill, grace, repeat.

I can't be bothered to farm but I often head up there if I'm a few thousand short of a level up before going into a boss.

@Converge No issues on PS5 here

that’s what I do too, if I got lots of runes and don’t want the risk of losing it so I farm to get it to the next level.

Right, had a look in the rune farm choices and looks like I have the area ready to be accessed. I just need to actually use an item to teleport me there!
Should open choices of weapons as Im getting bored with the bloodfang blade. I found great stars and liking it but need more str

I play on PS5 and never had any issues too.

Just tried to defeat that first boss on the way up to the castle. Didn't last long.

Farming just isn't necessary, you get enough from just playing through tbh.

Margit? I found out something today, there is this thing which can chain him down on the floor during the fight for a few seconds and you can just wack him. You can use it repeatedly.

spoiler..

I agree but Id like to try other weapons. Like the radhan greatsword which looks cool

Raymond Lin · 13 Apr 2022 at 23:18

I am definitely not playing it the way it’s meant to be played because I just killed Godrick first try, took may be 20 seconds. Meteorites rocks made mincemeats out of him very quickly,

kmax86 · 14 Apr 2022 at 11:07

thx for the farming spot short list and sharing the abyss drop glitch. From 60 to 110 in less than 40mins or so.
I will probably settle for 150 but for now I got the stats for the weapons I want to try.

Ruin & starscourge greatswords now usable. Just need to gather more somber stones.

Did you use the glitch?

kmax86 · 14 Apr 2022 at 11:30

yup, adds about 100k to 200k runes per run. Took a while to get used to the jumping route.
Its in the spot as the giant chicken

Raymond Lin · 14 Apr 2022 at 11:35

I suspect the glitch will be patched out at the next update. The others will probably stay since they are just killing NPCs.

kmax86 · 14 Apr 2022 at 11:37

For sure. I need to improve my aim as thats whats taking the longest for the giant chicken spot
