How to level up your character quickly in Elden Ring

If you want to level your character quickly in Elden Ring, you will need farm Runes. You can get Runes from killing all enemies and from Golden Runes items. 

If you want to level your character quickly, you will need to gather a ton of Runes. You can farm Runes by picking a specific spot on the map with many enemies and farming them.

The best locations to farm for Runes are locations with many enemies that give at least 200 Runes per enemy. Other great farming locations will have enemies that give 1K Runes. That being said, the following are three great locations to farm Runes in Elden Ring.

Gatefront Ruins

Gatefront Ruins is a straightforward location to farm when at a low level. You will find numerous Godrick guards that are relatively easy to deal with. Just be sure to watch out for the one knight with a spear, and don't get swarmed by more than one enemy. You can find Gatefront Ruins at the location on the map below:

Plains near Warmaster's Shack

In a plains area near the south of Warmaster's Shack, you can find several Trolls. Farming these Trolls can be one of the best ways to farm Runes quickly, as each Troll gives 1K Runes upon death. That said, if you have trouble dealing with the Trolls, we recommend ranged attacks and mounted combat.

Fort Gael North

Fort Gael North is a more advanced location in the region east of the starting area. At Fort Gael North, you will find many guard enemies that you can farm, along with giant dogs. 

You can also cause the giant dogs to attack the guards to double the number of Runes you can get. Simply shoot a dog with a bow, and they will run over and start attacking the guards.
