Monstrous Crow

At Mohgwyn PalaceLandmark, right next to the Palace Approach Ledge-RoadGrace Site of Grace, where a Blistered Giant Crow across a large gorge can be shot with an arrow or spell and be lured off the cliff's edge between the player and the Crow. Upon death, the Crow will drop 11038 Runes, and can be respawned at the Site of Grace in the same location. This makes for an excellent way to farm many Runes very quickly. Using a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot, players will net 14,000 Runes per kill, greatly increasing the Runes gained. Additionally, while using the Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot combined with the effects of the Golden Scarab Talisman, players will net 17,000 Runes per kill. Crows will sometimes feign a stagger, complete with the audio cue. They begin wobbling around on one foot to bait an approach, before performing a grab attack with their beak. A truly staggered crow will flop over onto their side, exposing a glowing spot on their head.
