Level | Elden Ring Wiki

I'm LV350 right now. Moghwyn "Palace approch" site of grace with sacred sword weapon art. Spawn at grace. Run to the rocky outcropping like 5 seconds north, hit r1, run back to site of grace and reload without even waiting to hear them die. On NG3 i make 100k every 20 ish seconds and can run this like 13 times before i have to re use the gold fowl foot. To grind for stuff for the gold feet use the cliff behind the dragon communion site of grace in caelid. Spawn there and summon torrent to jump through the south window quickly and kill the 3 birds with a single use of moghywns spear weapon art. Farm for the rest of the items for the gold feet by using the merchant shack in south west weeping penninsula. You can find an abundance of the golden fireflys in the lake up the hill (like 11-12) and theres the red berries you need all over the place here too. Use all this to become insanely powerful.

Do we have a confirmation if the Moghwyn Palace bird was patched in 1.05?

Submit

With a max cap 0f 713, you would reach the halfway point in runes needed at level 592. That's how top-heavy the system is. Plus diminishing returns in attributes as you go up.

Submit

the information about defenses and resistances is completely wrong
you get 1 defense per level from level 71 to 91
you get 1 resistance per level from level 71 to 111
therefore level 111 is the best and most efficient level
go play your level 125 meta noobz im playin the real bauz meta 111

another good rune farming spot is in Ordina, Liturgical Town, do a delayed sprinting double jump with your horse to the right of the portal that takes you to the Haligtree secret area and continuously swing your weapon while falling, after 41 weapon swings (i use Rivers of Blood Katana) you'll receive around 104K runes (with the golden scarab). then open the map travel to Ordina, Liturgical Town grace then just rinse and repeat

Submit

wow having the list of levels just actually be a thing you have to scroll past, great call

Submit

Anyone getting to 713 has no life.

What I do is go to the prayer room grace in haligtree, and I kill the cleanrot knight outside it, and then I make a run through the enemies until you can jump to the roof with the soldier and the scarab on it, and the cleanrot that’s inside the room behind the soldier will jump onto the beam and sometimes fall to its death. With the gold scarab talisman, I usually get anywhere between 70k-100k and up. Haven’t tried it with the gold pickled foot yet.

Submit

Reminder that 150 is the future. Leave the 120 boomers to their duelist discord servers where they ban half the things in this game lmao

Submit

You shoud be able to De-level

Anyways a fun/engaging earlygame farm i like to do after clearing out all the major bosses in North Caelid is from Dragonbarrow West to Fort Faroth grace, run through and kill the baby dragons, they dont have breath attacks and if you attack their heads you get an easy stagger for massive damage, each dragon drops like 3.2k runes and are fun to kill, with most of my characters i've been able to kill one in less than a minute so its relatively fast. Its an easy and enjoyable farm

Submit

The bird in the palace approach road 11k ,if the gold foot is use it goes to 14k and there's a chance to get 55k or 71k with the foot buff. If the bird doesn't fall use serpent arrows 2 are enough to poison and he will fall after a few seconds. Also try and aim between the two branches right when you see his knee shoot. I found this the most consistent.

Submit

172 to 713

For lower level farming: spawn at the Warmasters Shack in Limgrave and just se (-182.34375 : 102.47656 approx) are 5 giants worth 1,000 xp each. At mid levels you can efficiently farm them all in under 3 mins with a claw to net 6500 runes. Once you get to a comfortable level, they are very easy to kill on horseback as you can effectively just stand between their legs and only move when they attack. They also sometimes glitch if you get them from the right angle and just stand there and do nothing while you wail on them.

Submit

cringe: leveling past 120 is for bad players!!!! its a crutch!!! you should beat the game at level 3!!!

based: haha dude, im level 506 now, i put 99 points into vigor and now my health bar is as wide as the screen

Unlike past games, even with extensive farming in NG+7 it's really not possible to get a full-hardcap character, as it's 60-60-50-80-80-80-80-80, no amount of albinauric genocide will get you even close to 425 million runes lol

You won't be able to max out all of your attributes so choose wisely.

Submit

Ok, iliadz here. Without question the BEST farming is as follows, for 17K within about 30 seconds of each attempt, over and over as much as you want. And you DO NOT have to be a sorcerer, strong, etc. You will need a bow and arrow, and make sure you have the multipliers on otherwise it will only net 13K each time.
Fast travel to Mohgwyn Palace at the Palace Approach Ledge-Road. Run to the first creature that is sitting with his head down, and look left to the distance. There will be a crazy looking flying dragon rooster thing. Hit him bow shot. I usually zoom in and if you aim around the middle branch or higher you will hit him. He will run at you, jump off the cliff, and die. Make sure you always go to the first creature to do this, otherwise, he will sometimes go left of the tree or not jump off. If he doesn't jump off, don't waste your time. Either way, once he runs head back to the fast travel. But don't do anything there, just choose LEAVE, and ... wash, rinse, repeat. It works really well. Again, if he does ANYTHING other than jump off, just go back to the fast travel and do it again, but ALWAYS go to the first creature, it's the best spot.

Submit

at mohgz palce their is a ledge u can jump off and faLL Through the world while swinging your weapon.. after about 1 m 30 sec of falling you awarded 136k runes then tp back to bonfire and do again

At Deeproot Depths: Across the Roots there are two Broken Statues facing the other way that can both be killed in less than a minute before resting at the Site of Grace again. Certainly better than Lenne's Rise but far less accessible.

The bird at Moghwyn isn't falling down the cliff when I shoot him. He just runs towards me/to the cliff but doesn't fall.

A decent very early game farming spot is at the Lenne's Rise bonfire. There's a downhill section to the north where a ball will spawn (like the one's from Sen's Fortress) and if you evade it and make it go off the hill, the ball will "die" and you'll get 1950 runes. Each run takes around 30 seconds.

Can someone just edit the mid game farm spots to add that the ball at Lenne's can literally just be blocked with a shield without dodging? Just don't be too near the edge cuz it will give some knockback. -Jud

Submit

Oh **** the group password thing is lost when you rest at a site of grace? That might explain it, I’ve never noticed the multiplayer passwords giving any boost whatsoever

Submit

since you can access a certain area with endgame-level mobs as early as Liurnia through Varre's questline, leveling new characters can be done much faster than past games by legitimate methods.

Submit

Best spot I've found so far is in Leyndell, ~5k every 30 seconds (I'm level 80 using Giant Crusher+17 lol).

From the Lower Capital Church SoG, run outside and kill the Omensmirk for 1507, then run straight down the ladder to the sewers, go left and then right (ignoring all rats and hands on the way) and kill the Broken Statue at the end of the tunnel for 3332. It takes me 30 seconds from the SoG to kill both enemies.

Submit

Another fun midgame farming spot is between Farum Greatbridge and Lenne's Rise. Over the plains and down the hill to the east there are several Militia mobs. They deal lots of damage but are easy to pick of alone. One gives 1k runes for a total of 15k runes per run. Not as fast as the rolling ball but smashing those things is fun.

Submit

Im level 712 in demons souls and the cost to level up past that (which i cant since 712 is max just like in elden ring), is 8,879,349. It might be the same here

Submit

Is there a table for how many runes a player yields upon death?

Submit

There are 6 trolls south of the ashes of war vendor in limgrave. they give 1k each. Easier than giants on the bridge in my opinion

1,692,558,415 runes needed

Best Farm Spot is roughly 6,000,000 (hitting the low end here not accounting for scarab or pickled) runes an hour.

12 hours a day would be 72,000,000 a day.

1,692,558,415
÷
72,000,000
= 23.5077557639

Aka 23 and a half days of constant grind to hit Max level. The worst thing is, they've nerf'd exp gain at the farm spot with 1.04 so it's even worse than that. Yet the game doesn't offer any other alternatives to get Runes. I mean I'm sitting at level 300 that I did without constantly farming and have hit Joyrney 4...and I get about 1 million runes from Elden Beast... which is not even enough for a single point at this stage.

So with the farming nerfs... what do they expect us to do to level? Because if you look at the math it's only a matter of time before you die twice and lose the runes before you even have enough for a single level?

from level 280, getting an average of 80000 sous per run with scarab with a run taking 15 seconds, it should take around 24 hours to reach level 500

How in the actual hell are people max level already? Surely modded or duped rune, right?

Start at the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace. Go west through the doors and turn left. Kill the Oracle Envoys in your way (stay right on the balcony to avoid the big one up the stairs, which has a lot HP and is not worth it). Roll by the flames of the Broken Statue (stay near to the wall) and kill it from behind. Backstab and finish off the Page in the next room (for the runes, but mostly because these guys are SO annoying). Port back to the Site of grace and repeat. Run takes a little over a minute for me and nets a little under 5 k runes, this results in 300 k/h …

It takes roughly about 1.7 billion Runes to get from level 1 to max

Submit

For me a good farming spot is windmill village. As long as you have the glintstone arc sorcery you can do the first big group of insane women over and over. They give around 3500-4000 runes per run and the time is dependand on how well you can group them together.

Submit

I'm pretty sure the formula y = 0.02x^3 + 3.06x^2 + 105.6x - 895 from DS3 doesn't apply here, if the data above is correct. Its off in very many levels, like the value for Level 203 would be 313,949(.88), but the real value is way higher (317,785)
Or for Level 157, the level I'm currently at and therefore can confirm, the formula would give 168508, but the real value is 171,065. I have done some numerical analysis of the values above and the best fitting formula of degree 3 is 0.02x³ + 3.12x² + 111.784x - 787.
It's not perfect, but up until level 323 the sum of all the errors is 235 runes (compared to thousands each level with the other formula), and for all but 2 levels the difference is only one rune.

ATTN: LUCA & NIINX, I believe there is a mathematical error for total runes around level 366. There is an error of around 10,408. Somehow it seems to be subtracted from your total runes. I also found a hiccup around levels 415, there is a decimal instead of a comma in the total runes. Thank you for your hard work and helping me knock out my own calculator.

At the Palace Approach Ledge-Road, theres the little fat guys, but theres a big chicken across the valley. you can hit it with a bow and it will run off the edge and give 11k runes with no boosts. it can be done around 4 times a minute if done correctly. Essentially you spawn at the place, run to the ledge next to the first fat guy on the left, aim at the chicken, and right when it goes to turn around at the tree, in the middle of the turn, shoot it and it will agro on you, run off the edge and by the time you run back to the grace, youll have the 11k runes. easily the best farming spot ive come across

midgame(35 - 75):
between Farum Greatbridge and Bestial Sanctum, the small guys can easily be stunlocked; ~360k/h without golden scrabs, depends a bit also on the dmg. Each one of them has about 1021-1023hp or so and they give about the same amount of souls, mb a bit more. You can just hop on torrent, and jump into attack on a new target.

anyone leveling past 150 is a clown

2giants in limgrave is best spot. They cant chase you. As a mage you can deal constant damage. ~180k an hour. 230k with golden scarabs.

quick question. why is the max level 713 when all 8 stats are at 99? is it not 792?

Submit

The Leane's Rise Grace can be accessed by a level 1 Wretch without any combat just by riding Torrent if the player is willing to risk truncating some plot threads.

That makes it suitable for leveling from 1-35 as well as 35-75.

Submit

I'm level 45. Earlier today I killed a password summoned phantom who dropped 85k runes. By DS3 math, that'd mean what, 2 million runes to his next level up? Came here to figure out what level that would be and have discovered that it's literally OFF THE CHART. Lol

Submit

Another good farming spot: South of Warmaster Shack -> there are 5 giants for a total of 5,000 runes.
Been doing it on my mage and it's very good.

Submit

At the Palace Approach Ledge-Road grace there are 13-15 ish second generation ablunarics maybe 50 feet from the grace. Each drops ~2000. They are all sitting down, and most will not respond to you killing their fellows leading to a really fast and easy farm. More than 30K runes per run with gold scarab, and a run takes maybe 2 minutes with a good melee weapon. You can use torrent in this area, making it quite quick and safe.

Easily one of the fastest and safest farming routes I have found so far, very convenient to pick up your souls if you mess up since all but 4? are sleeping and will not react if you go by at a gallop.

Levelling EARLYGAME (1 - 35): Secluded Cell (Grace) at the north of Stormveil castle has a giant to the left of the grace that can be cheesed through the hallway for 1200 runes, plus two small guards at 137 runes each. Retreating far enough in the tunnel will case it to Shout, dodge this and the giant will retreat slowly. Can be farmed fast with ranged incantations or sorcery.

Submit

The enemies around the Bestial Sanctum drop around 1000 runes each and can be easily killed one by one at a relatively low level as long as you're careful. There's a portal that teleports you to that location here: https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Interactive+Map?id=802&lat=-178.3125&lng=124.341227&zoom=8&code=mapA

Once you have Flame Sling, Heal (or just Urgent Heal), and a shield, you can farm the Selia Crystal Tunnel entrance. This can be reached from the teleport trap chest in the Dragon-Burnt Ruins in the Limgrave swamp. The miners don't react to nearby combat and two of the vermin can be killed from beneath using the splash damage of Flame Sling. Clearing the room yields over 3600 runes.

Submit

From level 205-206, 329,476 runes is needed.

Submit

I'm not the one who found this but at the palace approach ledge-road grace in moghwyn palace, there is like 12-24 demi-humans that each drop 2k base runes all in a small Cliffside so if you have a weapon that can clear large numbers of enemies quickly (the best option by far is the sacred relic sword from the Elden beast) you can get about 10-20 million runes per hour. simply just rest at the grace, go close to the enemies, and use the weapon art. It'll clear out 90% of the enemies and you can instantly rest at the grace 10 feet away to rinse and repeat. This is by a landslide, the best rune farm I've seen, and id be shocked if someone could find something better. If someone could word this better and add this to the late game section, that would be splendid.

Submit

Lol, thats actually the total amount from 0 to that level, the required for 1 level it's the first one

Each class so far starts as lvl 5 and 87 points in various stats. In ds3 you had 9 attributes but in this game you have 8, cutting out vitality. in ds3 lvl cap was 802 with all stats being 99 assuming 99 is cap, then 8x99=792-87=705+5=710 lvl cap in elden ring.
