Runes have appeared on the eBay marketplace, which are the main currency for leveling in Elden Ring. The Eurogamer journalist spoke about the purchase experience.
Sellers on the site offer to buy runes at a price of ₽760 per million runes. Some listings allow you to choose how much you want to buy – for example, the largest offers include 200 million runes for more than $38,000. You can also find people on eBay willing to sell rare weapons or help with killing bosses.
After payment, the seller appoints the time and place of the meeting in the game. Then he calls the buyer and takes him to the discarded loot. As a Eurogamer journalist notes, it is not profitable to buy currency in this way, since the merchants themselves receive runes using known bugs and game errors.
The release of Elden Ring on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 took place on the night of February 25th. The average rating of the game Metacritic according to critics was 97 points out of 100however users began to massively underestimate title due to poor technical condition. Later, the developers released several patches, hitting game performance.
