Sacrificial Twig should keep your Rune Arc active

[Amins]

Or give us an alternative that has this effect. I don't care at all about lost runes. But Rune Arcs are way too rare to be wasting for no reason.

Those drop from hosts, use the finger items to farm them.

I play offline. Invasions are out of the question, and farming rats is tedious as hell.

I guess they were not meant in large amounts for those who do not engage in multiplayer.

I was actually hoping we'd have more options to farm in the DLC, if not just a place to buy them outright. Even if they cost like 100,000 runes each, it'd at least be better than farming those damn rats!

Do you use rune arcs all the time? I've had over a hundred of them rotting in my inventory bc I barely find a use for them.

I never understood why items like the sacrificial ring exist when you can just use a homeward bone.

Agree with your first statement but I can t see the connection between the sacrificial ring (twig) and the homeward bone (map + teleportation) with the preservation of rune arcs....
Particularly since you can t access the map while in-fight or have enough time to ALT-4 if u incur in some sudden accident that you couldn t possibly foresee and/or prevent....
Punishment for failure to stay alive is basically standard practice at From s....
At least here is not half as bad as it was in earlier games, DS2 being arguably the most punishing...

[Fineous🔥]

Yeah i agree, even as max RL just for the sake of arcs. Sill have more than 500 but i only have like 4 located in the Shadowlands.....Remember you always can do some old good

If you need Rune Arcs ASAP without having to multiplayer Elden RIng for co-op or PVP.

Feels good to tell someone to go and farm rats.....Unironically and actually being a decent advice.

[Burns]

Yes, basically it s a must if you play with a great rune always on. And offline there simply is NO alternative. Maybe a respec with max arc, silver scarab and the silver bird foot would give you some advantage in pushing your luck...

I can't remember thr last time a rune arc dropped from a rat and I'm running an arcane build. It's gotta be very rare. However I don't farm for them.

Frankly i did it 2 years ago and wouldn t love to do it again. I got more than I need, mostly cooping, in a fraction of the time. And you get to practice bosses to some extent. win win

The "beauty" of the spot i show you in the video is that you can kill all the rats and reset in 10 seconds or so. It sucks even with max discovery......But as Burns said there is no other option to get the arcs offline.

I wish they were more common in Shadow of the Erdtree....Oh and the reason i have 500 arcs other than doing a lot of Sunbroing? Multiple NG+ killing the Bloated Ants in Deeproot Dephts.

[GRANDWIZARD5150]

can you do a rune drop please

Yes, that s true. I used to use that spot in Morne castle as well...go in give it your most broken AoE and back at bonfire in seconds, but I spent quite a bit of time farming....
I can t remember the build specifics but it may have had low arcane...

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

Just put your golden sign down and help ppl fight bosses. Or farm rats.

[Scuzz]

I never use rune arcs. Not worth the hassle. But you can probably buy 30-40 each game cycle.
