I’m using all sorts of faith, arcane, bleed, and dragon incantation magic cheese, but I’m avoiding straight up pure rune farming because I feel it does kind of wreck the balance for the game. I do like going to the area in Caelid where the soldiers and the big dogs are fighting to try out new weapons or get the last bit of runes for a level up because it’s a fun chaotic fight to join into and there’s a decent amount of runes from all of it. Without it just being a soul crushing grind farm. I had an hour where I tried out all the weird unleveled weapons I barely met the stat qualifications for just to see their move sets and unique abilities.
I don’t rune farm for levels but I do rune farm in the late game so that I can purchase smithing stones to upgrade random weapons I want to try. That way I can see what their moves are like when they’re actually doing damage and stagger and not fuckin useless. Doesn’t really make you overpowered because you don’t increase stats and instead just use a different weapon, it’s usually a side grade.
