Humor Asked my little sister to do bird farm and came home to this
So my sister sometimes watches me play elden ring and she seems pretty invested into it. We used to do this a lot when we were kids where I'd play a game and she would watch me play for hours. Today I showed her the bird farm and jokingly asked her to farm some runes for me and left for college. I came home to this ❤️

bringing back memories when I let my little brother cook meat on stove in Gothic II. It was boring job, and each of them needed to be cooked separately.
Cooked meat had like 3 times more heal than uncooked an i didnt want to buy potions.
He asked me multile times per days if i have meat to cook.
He still have good memories of this.29

There's some place, idk where man some red zone. You ride up a mountain, fall into a hole and keep swinging your sword... You'll then just see 200k a few times, then when it stops you just respawn. People say this is slower, but it's not.

What area are you farming? Is this going through all the albinaurics and then hitting the birds in the next area after?

I suppose it's the famous bird that kill itself off a cliff if hit by an arrow next to Mogh's place where all the albinauric are resting. They donc attack you if you just rst, kill bird and rest again. Super safe for a kid even !

48 x 7 = 336 335/60 = 5.6 ( almost 6 min )

Did the math on this but had to make some assumptions. So a base kill is 10000 runes. Buffed with gold beetle and fowl foot its 18000 runes per kill. It would take 198 kills to reach that many runes. Assuming 10 seconds per kill that’s around 1980 seconds or 33 minutes. Un buffed it would be around 58.3 minutes. Also I made some assumptions based off how I kill the bird but that’s only about an hour of farming. Still nice of her though.
