AnElden Ringplayer shows that they have amassed a fortune of almost a billion runes in the game. Runes play a key role in the world ofElden Ring, and they are functionally similar to Souls or Blood Echoes in FromSoftware’s other titles. While they are primarily needed tolevel up inElden Ring, runes are required to improve weapons, upgrade Spirit Ashes, purchase items, and more.
Like theDark Soulsgames, fans lose all runes upon dying, and they are they permanently gone if users die again before getting them back. As a result, manyElden Ringplayers are probably constantly spending their runes on leveling up or other upgrades, making sure that they will not use lose too many runes in case they die. Now, oneElden Ringuser shows that they have collected almost a billion runes in their playthrough, reaching the maximum number fans can hold.

A Reddit user named VahnNoaGala has shared an image fromElden Ringshowing that they currently have 999,999,999 runes in their possession. Runes are capped at this amount, so the poster had to spend them before beginning the grind again. In one of the comments, VahnNoaGala shares that these runes were enough to level up from 353 to 639, and mentions that it’s still a bit far from thelevel cap of 713 inElden Ring, with each stat being 99. In total, users need 1,692,558,415 to hit the max level from scratch, so it looks like VahnNoaGala still has a long way to go.
There are plenty of strategies to quickly earn runes inElden Ring, but fans will notice that VahnNoaGala is using the Albinauric method to amass such a massive amount. For those unaware, repeatedly killing a bunch of Albinaurics next to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace in Mohgwyn Palace is an easy way to get a ton of runes. Many users consider it to beone of the best farming spots inElden Ring, and one gamer even built a robot that does the job for them.
Most of the other comments are filled with users talking about how many Albinaurics were killed in the process, with some questioning the decision to undertake this time-consuming endeavor. Despite its effectiveness, it can still take a lot of time for players tofarm so many runes inElden Ring, as VahnNoaGala confirmed that it took them around 50 hours of grinding to obtain almost a billion runes in the game.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
