I got a melee to high 30s in about 30 hours, and I got a sorcerer to low 50s in 8 hours - before I nerfed my own XP camp
Sorcerer seems hilariously OP, I staggered Magrit twice before she went to second phase, it wasn't even a fight.
How to be retardudly OP in a few hours, along with being able to farm 150 - 200k runes / hour, in a pretty satisfying way:
My melee dude and his +7 greatsword ain't got shit on the sorcerer. Fucking sucks but it is what it is. Doubt he could even kill a single black dragon, while the sorcerer could easily do 5 at mid 40s.

How to be retardudly OP in a few hours, along with being able to farm 150 - 200k runes / hour, in a pretty satisfying way:
- upgrade your potions (both charges and max refill), there is a youtube vid on it, I got mine to 7 (8?) charges and +4 in a good hour. You don't need to fight anything for this.
- get the meteorite staff (S-tier int scaling) and the Rock Sling spell. The staff boosts Rock sling (its a gravity spell), which is a great spell since it actually allows you to do tons of DPS in a short time on single targets + it does physical damage, so enemies with 100% MR won't be an issue, and I don't think there are enemies that are immune to physical
Here comes the good bit:
- use the above stuff to get to around 30 int and 20 mind.
- go to Fort Faroth
- find the big white dragon (its extremely close to the waypoint), with the smaller black dragons around him
- proceed to make a jellyfish or skeleton summon (i prefer the skellies since they respawn, which is handy) and start on your first black dragon. I always started with the one that is on the right side from the sleepy white dragon, when standing behind its tail and looking towards its head
- with the setup you have, you should be able to easily blast 1 dragon to death. 3-4 rock slings will stagger it, which is a good time to drink a potion, make sure you are targetting the head, and continue spamming rock sling
- each dragon is 3480 runes, as you increase int / mind, your killrate will go up
The important bit:
- each time you kill a black dragon, the white dude loses hp. When you kill the last one he either dies, or has like .3hp. This will disable the black dragons spawning, though you do get 70k runes for the white guy - which totally isn't worth it. This camp is far superior to every fucking one posted on youtube.
Unsure if I'll restart the game and try farming the black dragons for some ridiculous level.
This was a lot of fun. Killing dragons as fodder really gives a sense of power.

It is extra trollbag devs who make it so you can't just teleport back to where you were after too.
Total cocksucker design lol.

The flow I've settled in is to wander to each location, "clear" it, and then check https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Interactive+Map to see if I've missed anything. It got tiring trying to be thorough in each area, knowing that you might be missing a high-value Smithing Stone, weapon etc. There's still a ton of stuff I'm finding outside of Limgrave that aren't on the map of course.

I'm kinda considering respeccing once that unlocks to something like a spellsword or maybe fully caster I dunno. I'm currently using a str build now with a greatsword and it's fine, but this is such a huge game it'd be nice to try different options.

There was one big ass bear I found by following some ghost down a trail, that one? He was fairly easy as it was stuck in some ruins so he couldn’t move around a lot. I found an overworld bear down the path from the big stagecoach and I have no idea wtf it came from. I cleared the entire area then that mother fucker climbed the cliffs, scared the shit out of me then pushed my shit in. Same with the bear I found in a cave. I fought them thinking they wouldn’t be too bad like the ruins bear and got wrecked quickly instead.
Anyone know wtf the footprint things that move around real quick are? Found some on a beech making a triangle shape, no idea wth to do with them, tried following their pattern and nothing. Found another set in the swamp but didn’t bother trying to figure those out, too busy running for my life.

No its not in the Mistwood area its right south of the Lake where the Dragon was. But its disguised or some shit IDK. If you kill those zombies it pops out of a smoke cloud.
Also those footprint things are invisible beetles rolling a goodie. Stand in it and kill it when it comes around and they drop ashes or something good.

This game is going to give him so much content. Can't wait till he finally does the story summary video so I can actually know what the story is.

There's one in the poison swamp right next to the exit of the Fuck You caves full of cockroaches.
There's another on the beach directly west of the starting tutorial area.
You have to really lead out in front of the footprints to hit them, but it only takes one hit.

there's quite a few mini-quests that require you to swing at something with no guidance that it's the right choice. There's one that
. It's a little obnoxious because you don't know if you're permanently failing the quest or just doing it.
says something about three wise things and you have to hunt down three tortoises and kill them.

I found that quest and killed two. Couldn’t find the third.
Also, I feel like that about nearly every quest since they’re all so vague and cryptic. Do I let this person live or kill them? Hand someone an item or not? No idea! FROM quests.
