Body runes are low level runes used for confuse, weaken, curse and Monster Inspect spells in the standard spellbook, as well as Dream and Stat Spy in the Lunar spellbook. They are also used for the reanimation spells Basic Reanimation and Adept Reanimation in the Arceuus spellbook.

Body runes can be created using Runecraft skill at level 20 at the Body Altar south of Edgeville Monastery, providing 7.5 Runecraft experience per essence. They are the highest level rune Free to Play players can craft.

2 body runes can be consistently found outside of the eastern wall of the Grand Exchange in Varrock, respawning approximately every 20 seconds. 15 body runes can be found among lesser demons at the Lava Maze deep within the Wilderness.
