      It’s so infuriating how few rune arcs you get in singleplayer. I never used the great runes. And the power they give you is so much less than it would seem with how rare the items are. Malenia’s is a joke

        That’s true. I bought the ones I could, but it’s kinda cruel they only last until you die. In a game that’s designed to kill you. Honestly, they should’ve made them permanent.

        That’s because the most consistent source for them is multiplayer. Help people beat bosses, invade, counter invade, all these give rune arcs and that’s pretty standard a FS game. Usually the humanity-equivalents like rune arcs also open you up to invasion as a cost, but Elden Ring isn’t that punishing with it, but they still wanted people trying multi.

          The issue I have is that the game doesn’t have ultrawide support so I need a mod to play it. So I can’t play online. But yeah the multiplayer is super fun so I’ve turned them off once in a while.
