[[File:Body_rune_detail.png|100px|left]]
The '''Body rune''' is one of the game's [[non-elemental rune]]s. They are used for low-level [[Magic]] spells that reduce the opponent's [[melee]] combat stats ([[Attack]], [[Strength]] and [[Defence]]). These spells are [[Confuse]], [[Weaken]], and [[Curse]].

Body [[runes]] may be made at level 20 [[Runecrafting]] using the [[Body altar]] west of [[Gunnarsgrunn]] and south of the [[Monastery]], giving the highest base [[experience]] rate in [[free-to-play]] runecrafting. They are the highest levelled runes that free players can craft. (Each [[rune essence]] crafted at the body altar gives 7.5 experience) The nearest [[bank]] to the body altar is the [[Soul Wars]] bank chest. Since it is so close to it, there is no need for [[members]] to use the [[Abyss]] to access the altar. The altar is also conveniently located for players walking between [[Falador]] and [[Varrock]].

Body runes respawn in sets of two west of the castle in Varrock and west of the Fist of Guthix activity. They also respawn in sets on one in the middle floor of [[Zeke's Superior Scimitars|Zeke's shop]] in Al Kharid. They are also sold at two locations in [[Free-to-play]] worlds: [[Aubury's Rune Shop]] in Varrock and Betty's in [[Port Sarim]]. Various monsters drop body runes, and [[Flesh Crawler]]s are noted for dropping many.

After the release of the [[Grand Exchange]], the price of body runes dropped to 10 coins each, because many free-to-play players runecraft them for the experience and then sell them for whatever they can get.

Body runes are the least used of all runes in the game, other than combination runes. Curse spells tend to be infrequently used by most players, except by some players training [[Magic]]. (The Curse spell has the highest Magic requirement of any free-to-play spell using body runes, which is available at magic level 19.) High-level spells in the regular [[Spellbook]] do not use body runes. Thus, these runes are usually abandoned by players with higher Magic levels.

Body runes, however, are used in two high-level spells in the members-only [[Lunar Magicks]] spellbook. Upon completing the [[Dream Mentor]] quest, players receive access to seven more Lunar spells. Two of these use body runes: [[Stat spy]] (at magic level 74) and [[Dream]] (at magic level 79).

An efficient way to train magic using body runes for the player to wear full metal body armour while casting curse spells on a NPC. This will cause the spell to fail often, allowing the player to cast it more frequently and thus gain magic experience faster, since the full experience is still gained even if the spell fails.

Some players use body runes to pay the banker in the [[Ourania Runecrafting Altar]] cave, which is in a members-only area. This banker charges a fee of 20 runes each time players access their bank accounts there, so body runes are often used because they are so cheap and relatively useless elsewhere.
