Okay, so I’ve been grinding away in Elden Ring, trying to get my character to that sweet, sweet level 713, the max level. I’m a bit of a numbers guy, so I wanted to figure out exactly how many runes I needed to get there. I mean, I could just keep playing, but I like to plan these things out, you know?
So, first, I started by hunting for a tool online that could help. I just typed in “Elden Ring level runes calculator” into Google, and bam, a bunch of options popped up. Most of these tools looked pretty similar. You punch in your current level and the level you want to hit, and it spits out the number of runes you need. Simple enough.

I played around with a few of these calculators. They all gave me roughly the same numbers, which was good. It’s always nice to have some consistency, right? I mean, it would be a pain if each calculator gave me a wildly different number. Anyway, I decided to use one that let me input my starting class too. It just made me feel like I was getting a more personalized result, even if it didn’t change the overall rune count by much.
After plugging in my details, the calculator did its thing, and I got my number. It was… a lot. Seeing that huge number kind of made the whole leveling process feel a bit daunting, but hey, at least I knew what I was working towards. It was like, “Okay, this is the mountain I need to climb.”
With this number in hand, I started thinking about the best way to farm runes. I remembered a few spots that were pretty good for farming from my earlier playthroughs. There’s this one area with these big, slow-moving guys that drop a decent amount of runes. I figured I could just keep going back there, clearing them out, resting at a Site of Grace, and repeating the process. I also thought about maybe trying out some other farming methods I’d seen online. There were a few videos that showed some pretty clever ways to rack up runes quickly.
- Step 1: I searched online for an “Elden Ring level runes calculator”.
- Step 2: I tried out a few different calculators to see if they gave consistent results.
- Step 3: I chose a calculator that also took my starting class into account.
- Step 4: I input my current level and desired level (713) into the calculator.
- Step 5: I got the total number of runes needed to reach my goal.
- Step 6: I started planning my rune farming strategy based on the number I got.
- Step 7: I recalled some good farming spots from my previous experience.
- Step 8: I considered trying out some new farming methods I found online.
Overall, it was a pretty straightforward process. I found a tool, used it to figure out what I needed, and started planning my next steps. It wasn’t rocket science, but it helped me feel a bit more in control of my progress in the game. Plus, it was kind of fun to see all those numbers and plan things out. It’s like a little mini-game within the game, right?
Well, time to get back to farming. Wish me luck!
