<cough> But leveling up is soooo expensive/difficult, later on in the game, that some ppl pay to level up.Fortunately for everyone enjoying Elden Ring, From Software is one of the very few AAA companies that isnt trying to squeeze players like some sort of weird money sponges.
I have done that a couple of times with new characters when starting a new game.
You can also buy weapons, armour, spells, etc.
They would be making a nice amount.
