Runes play a key role inElden Ring, as gamers can use them to level up their character and improve their weapons. Players get these runes by killing enemies and bosses, in addition to specific items that give out runes when they are used. Like other games made by FromSoftware, players lose their runes upon dying, and they are tasked with collecting them back from the place of their demise.

Several gamers state that farming a ton of runes inElden Ringdoesn’t make one better at the game, as the player’s experience is more important than stats. One user also mentions that players can still die to enemies despite having all stats at max, while a few others state that farming runes takes away the fun of playingElden Ring.
