The in-game currency farming works similarly in every game. Game developers know that players are going to try and abuse one mechanic, game mode, or loop in the game to get more in-game currency in a faster time frame, and most of the time, game developers intentionally leave these loops and mechanics to be abused by players because they want the players to play the game. With these methods, a player does spend a lot more time in the game than they would have otherwise.
In this blog, we are going to discuss currency farming in one of the most popular Souls games of all time, because in this blog, we are going to talk about Elden Ring Night Reign and how to farm Murk in it. After reading this blog, you’ll know everything there is to know about what Murk is, how to get it, and the fastest or most reliable ways of obtaining it.

What is Murk?
So firstly, let’s talk about what Murk is. There are three types of currencies in the game: there are your regular Runes, which are mostly used for regular and short-term upgrades like leveling up or buying in-game gear within an expedition. Sovereign Sigils are the second type of currency, obtained by killing the Everdark Sovereign, and these sigils are used to purchase a variety of items like cosmetics, skins, and urns.
Murk, on the other hand, is for far longer-term use. It is a persistent and meta-progression currency, which will be with you for a longer time frame than other currencies like Runes and Sigils.
Another interesting thing about Murk is that it is not obtainable on the surface of the game—you can’t pick it up from the ground or loot it from enemies after killing them like you do with Runes. Instead, you have to complete the expeditions in the game, and at the end of each expedition, you’ll be awarded Murk. The better you perform, the more Murk you’ll earn. The best part is that even after dying in the game, you will not lose it, which means the Murk you earn stays with you.
You can use Murk for buying cosmetic items for your Nightfearers. You can also buy relics, goblets, gestures, and even scenic flatstones which will generate different relics with unique effects. You can even buy a Relic Rites Altar, which lets you sell duplicate or unwanted relics for Murk.
How to Get Murk
The process is pretty simple and straightforward.
The first method is just to complete the expeditions. Yes, this is the core loop of farming, and also the best way to get Murk in Night Reign. You get awarded Murk automatically once the expedition ends, and it does not matter how well or poorly you performed in that expedition—you’ll still get Murk. But just so you know how much your performance matters in the expedition, here’s an estimate:
| Expedition Stage | Description | Murk Earnings |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Day Death | Initial expeditions with early progress | 400–500 |
| Mid-Game Death | Some bosses defeated and 2–3 nights passed | ~1,000 |
| Full Expedition Cleared | Nightlord defeated | 2,000–3,000 |
So the cheat code here is nothing but being better at the game. The better you perform and the longer you survive in the game, the better your Murk earnings will be. Each boss takedown increases the payout, and clearing the Nightlord makes the reward pot much bigger.
The second method is only applicable when you already have enough expeditions. It consists of selling your duplicate or unwanted relics through the Relic Rites Altar in the Round Table House. While this is not the primary source of Murk, it adds additional Murk to your account without doing anything extra.
Conclusion
So that’s about it for this blog. Sadly, there’s no faster way of getting Murk apart from the ones I have mentioned here. All you have to do is complete expeditions and wait for your Murk reserves to build up. Now, I know this is not ideal, but the game has been designed this way to keep players engaged and playing longer.
