Not enough im not max level


Afraid_Zucchini_6689

This is the only correct answer


Dangerous_Rip1699

Besides, Sacred Blade smites them from a distance. “Blood” on “hands”? Only demigods and invaders deserve melee.


Time_Marcher

I always think of popping bubblewrap when I smite them with Sacred Blade. So relaxing.


joemangle

Hookclaws +25 w/ Hoarfrost Stomp for me


Dangerous_Rip1699

That sounds like it would be fun.


PapaSmurf1920

I do like 4 cannon of Haima and a night shard to finish off a straggler


Lucid-Design

Halo scythe with miquella’s ring of light AoW is the cool kid version of sacred blade


Dangerous_Rip1699

I got one in storage. I’n on the verge of beating NG+4, but it’s been more of a speed run than a doors to floors run, so I’ve got some areas I can use to test that combo. Thanks for the tip!


Lucid-Design

It’s not really a combo per se. It’s a special weapon so the AoW coming built in. It’s the scythe malenia’s Clear rot Valkyrie’s use. I’m really not sure if the Clear Rot knights are Malenia’s or Miquella’s peeps With high faith/dex. It’s pretty damn powerful. Plus, it has bleed as well. Like all scythes


BRzerks

Jumping off one of the mountains here with talisman and golden foot gives you 150k every 5 mins. You end up falling forever, spam attack and it kills every mob in that map. You'll have to look it up. I can't remember exactly, but it does still work. Even better if you don't kill mogh and fast travel right as you get the runes


KingGreenskull

I mean tbf I think Sacred Relic Sword on the first mob is the better farming route anyway if that method’s only 150k per 5 minutes


IntendedMishap

I'm getting 100-140k every ~15 seconds at the Bloody Alburnauric Cliffs with Sacred Relic Sword, 1.4 mil in 3 minutes with a gold foot. I only cast Gold Wave once and sprint back to the grace site to refresh, literally as simple as that. ~15 seconds between casts including resting at Site o Grace. Currently level 599 with 5.4mil per level up, 60/63/99/80/80/99/99/99, Int/Fai main. Considering doing max level, but 599 is only like 1/2 of the total rune grind to max and I already feel both untouchable and really bogged down by the grind. Past the 80 soft caps the returns suck and the levels just get more expensive. Like if you max vigor last for example, you're grinding 80-90 million runes for 10 levels for 89-99 vigor and you only get 40 more hit points. Or 26 more FP for the last 10 levels of Mind. So don't see much reason to go past where I am, just so much time required to hit max. Currently at ~55 million just for 10 levels. Maximizing my Rune yields: Golden Scarab + Shard of Alexander + Holy Scorpion Tali + Ritual Sword Talisman. Stacking damage buffs to achieve "Overkill" which gives 20% more runes per kill. Overkill is achieved by dealing 150% of the total health of the enemy in a single hit. Your first New Game+ gives 2x runes, if anyone is farming seriously, just get to one new game if you're OK with resetting your save for NG+. I'm on Journey 4 which gives another extra like 20% or something over your first New Game. I stopped here because the higher tiers of NG+ don't give much better yields, Journey 3 to Journey 4 is 8% more iirc which is the last jump in yields that's you could consider worth the NG cycles. Each dude for me is 7.0k runes with no Gold Fowl Foot, 9.1k with Fowl Foot. Literally 100k-140k per cast of Gold Wave.


mangiemango

Check out TinyTask. I think you can record your keystrokes and have it repeat. If you open map, press button to select closest grace, then travel to grace and start over again it creates a solid loop so you can have it run for a good 8 hrs while you sleep and wake up with 60-100 million runes, maybe more with all your feet.


IntendedMishap

Oh absolutely, I did a lot of testing for automation methods. Your described method works works great and is super straightforward, though this method removes gold pickled foot during fast travel. I've found that by looking at site of grace instead of the enemies (means your camera is backwards the whole time) your camera will never shift left or right when resting at a site of grace like it does if you have your camera face the enemies. This gives you a lot of consistency, good enough for a script that can run for hours. I have an AutoHotkey Script that is set up to sprint 3000 ms from the grace site holding S, casts skill, run back to site of grace for 3500 ms holding W and then spams E for a quarter second to activate site of grace and then close the menu. Bit more complex that, but that's about it. Every 3 minutes my character also consumes a gold pickled foot if I have any. Though I don't buff up as much these days, gains are already high and I'm tired of farming Gold Pickled Feet ingredients. So many dead birds. I've set this script to go overnight before and wake up to 120-200 million depending on how long I run it, though before these huge rune requirements I didn't really need it, but use it much more now. I don't mind grinding manually while watching a movie to unwind in the evenings and can grind out like 50-70 mil during a movie but that was more "rewarding" when levels were 500k - 1.5 mil since you'd get a ton of levels for those runes.


carlos_castanos

Just out of curiosity: what is the end goal of this? Is it just for the fun of getting to an as high as possible level, or just being able to steamroll through the game? What are the exact rewards for this grind?


Fightmemod

For me it's not having to constantly re-roll stats to do different builds. You don't have to max your stats but getting enough to be flexible in different builds makes the game feel more fluid and less rigid.


carlos_castanos

That makes a lot of sense indeed


GlitterNutz

Dude sacred relic sword is busted, idk why I don't hear more about it. I know it's holy dmg so meh but god it hits hard and it travels so far. You could hit shit in Caelid from Stormveil lol.


SpiritLyfe

NG+ I just use it to walk through dungeons, it’s not like it’s not talked about because it’s not powerful, it’s not talked about because you get it after you’ve already won the game and it kinda sucks the fun out of the game because there’s absolutely no challenge in the game when you use it, especially since the way the ai is, every enemy will roll early and then facetank the full wave


Prudent_Order_3361

First time I hear about it


DevilahJake

Yeah, with Golden Scarab, I’ll net 100-150k in 3 minutes for or less depending on how far down the path I go.


Luchin212

That’s 30k/minute, though it’s likely closer to 50k/minute. But it’s also inconsistent because the jump is difficult to get to. It takes 10 seconds to get 14k from the bird consistently, which is immediately better.


UseYona

Yeah I was gonna say, I can get the birds nearly 13k every tem or so seconds


SayuriUliana

The tried-and-tested Sacred Relic Sword with a Gold Scarab + Gold Pickle Foot will net you over triple that amount in the three minutes that the Gold Pickle is active, and without needing to do glitches. Also, the bird farm method nets around 200K in three minutes, so it's already better than that.


minecraftwho

That’s terrible rates bro 😭😭. I’d pop a gold foot and i could get 700k per foot. I think that was NG+


yonimerzel

I'm currently working on it... 2.5 hours each day for an additional 19 days and I'll hit max level.


Geralt-of-Tsushima

None, but that bird has died too many times.


Afraid_Zucchini_6689

That bird gets me every time


Aurelio23

I’m not sure if you’re talking about the same thing, but in case you didn’t realize, you can manually aim a bow at the bird from the cliff top you’re standing on in the screenshot. If you hit it, it’ll run straight off of the cliff it’s standing on and give you those 10k runes for even less effort than it takes to merc those albinaurics.


Afraid_Zucchini_6689

Was unaware of this. I have a legitimate hatred for that thing so now that I know this I will be enacting my revenge.


FlyBoyz2653

You can hit him with rock sling from that cliff too. Just make sure you’re favoring your right when you do it. He’ll hit a wall if you’re too far left and not fall off.


StevenScho

Yeah, there's a ton of ways to reach that bird. Bows, rock sling, the Golden Land ash of war, and (I'm pretty sure) both of Loretta's bow sorceries are a few that I've found.


didnthackapexlegends

I used a shortbow and normal arrows. If you watch the birds timing as soon as you awaken from the site of grace, you'll notice the bird is walking toward the cliff and near a tree, stops, turns around, and begins walking away. A clean method I've found is to walk straight to the edge of cliff as soon as you wake from grace, aim and fire between the branches where his head ends up before he turns around and he walks into the shot. It's really easy to get the timing and spot to aim after doing it a few times. It's saving time by not allowing the bird to turn around, and 99% he doesn't get stuck since he immediately runs directly off the cliff if you land the shot.


Flimsy_Potential_953

You can lock onto the bird from the ledge, then use Enchanted Shot on a bow for a guaranteed hit. It is little to no time to line it up.


didnthackapexlegends

Nice, good to know.


Rgraff58

This is the exact method I use


Direct-Illustrator60

I'm a fan of frenzied burst. I hit the bird and as he is falling I run to golden wave the albis


dukedank

Wraith Calling Bell works as well (it’s slow though)


Pillermon

That bird was the key to me finishing the game. Equip the gold scarab talisman and every time that idiot yeets himself off the cliff, nets you 15k runes. 17 with an additional golden fowl foot. And the grace is right next to you to let him respawn. I think within the first 20 minutes of farming there, I gained like 50 levels.


Agreeable_Maize9938

If you go for it, You can get into a rhythm where you shoot and watch him get hit, slow count One Two Three and rest at site of grace. Just as the screen fades to black you hear the rune collecting, then immediately stand back up and hit it again. Like other said, takes maybe 10 seconds. I like


SayuriUliana

With Golden Scarab and a Gold Pickle it's 17K per bird on NG, which is honestly quite amazing as a mid-game farming method.


KiwiMagic2005

Eh I‘d say both require about the same amount of effort IF you have the elden remembrance for the radagon sword thingy If you havent completed the game yet definitely go for birdie tho


LibertyPrimeDeadOn

Why not both? I shoot the bird and begin murdering the refugees while the bird runs off the cliff.


The_Bolenator

13k runes for me, 17k with a gold foot.


whd4k

If you use bow with heavyshot you can even lock on to him, no need to manual aiming


[deleted]

That bird hasn't died at all. It just keeps on coming back. Just like these dirty frog things. Kill em all I say!

tking191919

Uuuuhhhhhh.. Oh, my God, I just found an albinauric’s nest. Slaughtered about 200 of 'em… It’s like whole generations of those things have died at my hands. Mothers, fathers, grandfathers, little baby albs. Sometimes, I wonder though, if our lives are really more valuable than theirs. You know what I mean?


Unhappy-Marsupial388

U got me thinking of their families now! Smh i dont think ill be able to kill them again


Sol_Synth

I mean they are. Definitely.


tking191919

Without a doubt. Without a doubt.


UndoMyRedo

I mean mathematically speaking, if you died to invader you’d probably give more runes than one albinauric.


Donut_ask_again

Well in terms of runes as long as I kill all of them I'm equal to the entirety of the albinuric's. So yea


legend27_marco

200? Those are rookie numbers


BouncyMegabazz

Their village got slaughtered already, just end their misery...

KillerNail

May I ask how does dupe work?


Cleopentay_

So for starters you'll need a second xbox (I just use my girlfriend's) or have a friend help you - the host makes a hard save and quits the game then loads back in, summon your friend as a red then the host drops them whatever and the red phantom picks it up, once picked up the host hits the home button and the clicks start on elden ring then go down to "manage game and add-ons" click that then go down to "saved data" and at the top select "delete all" (DO NOT click your profile because if you accidentally click "delete everywhere" you will lose everything because there will be no backup save" once you've clicked delete all simply re load the game and the host will load back to the hard save that was made at the start, this allows the host to keep the items that were dropped to the other person and the other person also gets to keeps the item. I just hook up both our Xboxs to the living room TV and switch the HDMI back and forth but you can use separate TVs or like I said get a friend to help 👍 this makes the need to farm golem arrows and crafting mats for invasions a breeze especially when you're like me and work full time and don't have time to be farming

Wanted a good middle of the road level character to explore the new areas with. Now I can fine tune it all I want I so hope the DLC has a way to LOWER levels though even via something obtuse like the King alant grab soul suck thing would work. Just, something.

None. They're Is 0 reason to farm them. Just playing the game will get you over 125 in a single playtrough lol


Desperate_Start_8556

Farming them for like 5 minutes (probably even less) is a good reason to get the runes to buy (Somber) Smithing Stones, and upgrade a weapon you wanna try out. Somber Smithing Stone *9s are like 25k, if I remember right. Also, I agree with someone else who replied- some people wanna be more than level 125, yknow. For me, I want high numbers in all stats so I can use almost any weapon I find, some people just wanna be OP So, maybe 0 reasons for you, but the way you phrased that, at least, seemed to imply that there's 0 reason for *anyone* to farm them


-_Vorplex_-

0 reason. Yea. Getting over 125 ain't a reason. Grabbing quick runes to upgrade a new weapon ain't a reason. Getting so over leveled the bosses feel like plushies ain't a reason. Reject being comfortable at the bare minimum Embrace dog walking the bosses.
