Earth runes are runes representing Earth; hence, they are one of the four elemental runes, and also some of the most common runes in the game. They are used in all Earth elemental spells, in curse spells as well as in many Lunar spells.

They can be purchased from the Nightmare Zone, using 25 reward points.
