Like other Soul series works, “Elden Ring” also has the multiplayer connection mechanism of “Red Man Invasion” in the past. Players can go to the PvP area to duel with other players by using the blood finger props, but it happened before. The gameplay of “AFK Farming Experience” that appeared in the “Dark Souls” series appeared once more at the junction.
In the “Circle of Eldon”, once the two players are connected, the map will become unable to use the spirit horse, which has led to many players currently using the spirit horse to jump on the cliffs of the Nymgef coast. Go to the cliff platform below and use the mocker’s tongue to attract popular players to connect.
When a celebrity player successfully connects, even if there is a map indication, the celebrity player who cannot ride a horse will naturally be unable to go to the cliff platform, and may even fall to his death by trying to jump, while the mocker player only needs to squat on the cliff point AFK and hang on the net. Get the Rune reward for defeating the Reds.
A seemingly growing problem in #ELDENRING is AFK rune farmers. Hopefully @fromsoftware_sp and @BandaiNamcoUS can fix the issue of using a Taunter’s Tongue in areas reachable only by Torrent soon because the longer it goes on the less many will care regarding fairness. pic.twitter.com/PL9hrQHRLm

In fact, this is not the first time that From Software games have encountered. Before “Dark Souls 3”, players had the experience of attracting red people to farm souls, but in “Ayrden Circle” it was because of the riding mechanism. And cause the unfair situation of PvP.
However, the cliff position where the AFK players are located is not absolutely safe. Some popular players use weapons such as pot cannons to shoot down AFK players from a long distance through specific positions, or use some war gray skills that can temporarily stay in the air (such as water bird flurry or Dragon Flame), reach the AFK player’s position and kill him.
However, these are still feasible for players who are actually hooked to the actual “AFK”. Some mocker players are not hooked up, but are waiting for the red man to take a risk and come to the Jedi, and then launch an attack to kill him.
In addition, it is not only the cliffs of Nimgford, but some people also find that the places where these AFK farmers hang their nets are getting more and more ingenious, and they will even reach high places where ordinary players cannot go to hang their nets, and then wait for the celebrities to give up and leave, they can also get Rune reward.
In response to the AFK Rune Farmer problem that is currently prevalent overseas, many players have reported to From Software regarding the terrain problems in some PvP areas and the mechanism of Lingma Torret. However, if you’re not interested in PvP at all, these net farmers won’t bother you too much.
