WHY is Rune Arc Farming SO BAD

Farming for RUNE ARCs in Elden Ring - Basically I spent an hour killing rats hoping that they drop valuable items instead of junk.

Not at all like farming rats for humanities in DS1.

lol, very similar yes

Just help people beat bosses

[@pinecrustjuise]

If you need people to help you with bosses, maybe this isnt the game for you

@@liamhollands344 It could be that this Tarnished does not have an online pay plan, like myself, and ergo not able to get Rune Arcs as simple as those...

There's no real reason to farm rune arcs, most of the game can be done without a great runes effect active.

[@isaactrujillo5222]

It's nice to use what the game offers from time to time.

[@pinecrustjuise]

agreed, I played most the game without even realising how to activate great runes because I didnt know what run arcs did

[@Maniacal_Plan]

That is true, but I was being stubborn about defeating a DLC boss and the Rune Arcs have helped overcome my mediocre skill

@@pinecrustjuise That was my first playthrough, I had a Great Rune chosen and everything but never used a Rune Arc.
