Chaos runes are used in mid-levelled spells, such as Wind Bolt, Water Bolt, Earth Bolt and Fire Bolt. They are also used to charge the trident of the seas.

They spawn in the Wilderness near some moss giants, in the northwest corner of the Dark Warriors' Fortress, and can also be bought from the Varrock and Port Sarim magic shops.

They can be made with the Runecraft skill at level 35 at the chaos altar, by having pure essence in the inventory and a chaos tiara equipped or a chaos talisman in the inventory, granting 8.5 experience per rune crafted.
