Elden Ring Runes: 7 Efficient Farming Cycles for NG+
Posté : 02 août 2025 09:41
Jumping into New Game Plus (NG+) in Elden Ring brings a fresh set of challenges—and opportunities. With enemies beefed up and rune requirements climbing fast, efficient farming becomes more important than ever. Whether you're aiming to respec frequently, level up your stats past soft caps, or gear up for PvP invasions, a few reliable rune farming cycles can make all the difference.
Here are 7 efficient farming routes that I’ve personally used in NG+ that should keep your rune counter steadily rising.
1. Mohgwyn Palace – Albinauric Army Redux
This one's still the king. The Albinauric crowd near the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance site of grace remains the most efficient farming zone for pure rune gain, even in NG+. With a Golden Scarab equipped and a few Gold-Pickled Fowl Foots, each run can net over 100,000 runes in just a few minutes.
Pro tip: Use a wide-sweeping weapon or AoE spells like Comet Azur or Pest Threads to clean the pack quickly. If you're feeling lazy, you can also cheese the single Albinauric near the cliff for a modest 11,000+ runes with minimal risk.
2. Haligtree – Elphael Inner Wall Archers
Once you've made it deep into Miquella’s Haligtree, Elphael’s Inner Wall grants access to a series of Cleanrot Knights and archers that offer a surprisingly strong rune yield in NG+. It’s not the fastest route, but the enemies are tightly packed and drop valuable crafting materials alongside runes.
While farming, it’s worth checking your inventory for excess materials or consumables—some players even look for Elden Ring Items for sale to round out missing pieces for their build.
3. Dragonbarrow – Greyoll the Elder Dragon
Even in NG+, Greyoll remains a worthwhile source of runes—especially early on. With a bleed weapon and a stealth approach, you can take her down with little resistance, netting around 80,000–100,000 runes depending on bonuses.
This is a one-time farm per cycle, but it’s a great head start when starting NG+ fresh. Don’t forget to rest at the nearby Fort Faroth grace before initiating the attack.
4. Crumbling Farum Azula – Dragon Temple Lift Gauntlet
This mid-to-late game area is chaotic, but it’s loaded with rune-rich foes. The route from the Dragon Temple Lift to the next grace includes multiple beastmen, knights, and mages—all of which scale up nicely in NG+. If you’re confident in your combat rhythm, this is a high-reward cycle that doesn’t get talked about enough.
A solid rune run here might also give you the freedom to experiment more. If you’re the kind of player who doesn’t want to grind too much, there’s always the option to [url=https://www.u4gm[.]com/elden-ring-runes]buy Elden Ring runes PS5[/url] for a time-saving boost—but that’s up to each individual.
5. Liurnia – Caria Manor Revisit
This might sound like an odd pick for NG+, but Caria Manor’s upper level offers fast kills with low risk. The spectral knights here scale modestly and drop more runes than you'd expect once multipliers are applied. The real benefit is how quick the reset is—perfect for short, repeated bursts.
It’s also a great place to test newly acquired weapons or spells before heading into heavier combat zones.
6. Mountaintops of the Giants – Fire Giant Pre-Battle Field
Right before the boss arena, the fire monk enemies and flame guardians patrol the snowy cliffs. They hit hard, but they drop a fair chunk of runes and often come in small groups. With a ranged build or stealth, this can be a surprisingly efficient area to cycle for quick gains.
Also, if you're optimizing a new NG+ character, check your gear. Many players stock up here and later look for specific Elden Ring Items for sale to fill in their collection, especially talismans or unique armaments.
7. Leyndell, Ashen Capital – Erdtree Sanctuary Area
Post-burn Leyndell in NG+ is a goldmine. The capital is crawling with enemies, from beastmen to black flame monks and soldiers, all dropping hefty rune amounts. The central loop near the Sanctuary grace is a good run to repeat, especially when combined with jump attacks or ash-of-war burst builds.
Make sure to carry a Scarab and some Fowl Foots—you’ll be shocked how fast you can level up here even in NG+3 and beyond.
NG+ in Elden Ring isn’t just about doing it all over again—it’s about doing it smarter. These farming cycles are great tools for minimizing grind while maximizing growth. Mix and match them based on your build, goals, and gear. And if you ever feel like you’re falling behind or just want to focus on the boss fights, some players opt to buy Elden Ring runes PS5 or scout for rare Elden Ring Items for sale to round out their loadouts.
Whatever your approach, the Lands Between still have plenty to offer—even the second, third, or seventh time around. Happy farming, Tarnished.
