Only the 'xp' you loose. So in fact you can do a suicide run for an item. Also there's guides like fighting cowboyOk ignore above.My friend said the world resets basically

me too. Recently started and continued with a new char I made months a go.Busy with a new playthrough after almost a year. Got about 200hrs in altogether. Just realized that mobs give 20% extra xp if you finish them with a critical hit. Combined with the Gold Scarab it's 44% extra xp. (1.2 x 1.2). Weird thing is that I can't find any mention of this online.
Oh yesssss
Just in time!! Almost finished the game.
Yesssssssss

Nice. I normally farm the giants and then the ghost soldiers in that tree root place.For anyone looking to grind some levels before even killing a single boss or doing any dungeons, I found the best spot. Go here to Dragonbarrow Fork site of grace in Caelid. You can get there right at the start. Safest to get your horse first as you need to run past 3 dragons to get to the grace.
There are 15 guardian guys in the ground, which each give over 1k runes, on the hill going up towards the minor Erdtree. Very easy to kill and you can get about 25k runes per run in just over a minute. Out of all the farming zones accessible at the start of the game, I found this to be the best by far. Even at lvl150, I'm getting a level every few minutes. You could get to lvl200 in a few hours here before even fighting Margit.

Edit
Works great with the gold scarab on![]()
Yeah I use the gold scarab as well. If you kill them in one shot without them seeing you, you also get another 20% bonus xp. So combined with the gold scarab each one gives 1627 xp. Best to set the time to night as most of them then won't see you.
The best place to farm is by the grace site on the cliff opposite Mohg's palace. Below you is a blood bird on the lake. Shoot it with an arrow and it will run towards you, fall off the lake edge, and die. Reset at the grace, rinse and repeat. This nets you about 16k runes with scarab equipped every ~15 seconds.
