This article is about the rune. For other uses, see Mind rune (disambiguation).
The official world for RC Running & ZMI Altar is world 36 (P2P).
Mind runes are a type of non-elemental rune. Mind runes can either be bought from Aubury's Rune Shop in Varrock, created from rune essence through the Runecrafting skill, procured from drops by killing monsters or picked up from spawns on the ground. Mind runes are used for the spells Confuse, Stagger, Enchant Crossbow Bolt (Sapphire) and Monster Examine.
The Mind Altar is located north of Falador, in between the Goblin Village and the Ice Mountain, very near to the Wilderness. Mind runes are craftable at level 1 using the Runecrafting skill. Crafting mind runes provides 5.5 Runecrafting experience per rune or pure essence used (154 xp for a full inventory).
Additionally, Aubury gives away 30 free mind and air runes every 30 minutes.
There is a Falador Task in the hard section to craft 140 Mind runes at the same time.

Trivia[]
- Prior to the Evolution of Combat update, one mind rune was required per cast for the strike spells. Its examine text was "Used for basic level missile spells."
- Mind runes used to require level 2 Runecrafting to craft. This was changed in an unknown update prior to March 2012.
