You shouldn't buy runes now.Listen to what your friend told you.Although there are three junglers, that I can think of, with who you can start jungling.
Warwick-He has some very nice sustain through his passive, so you won't get slaughtered by the jungle creeps.
Fiddlesticks-I've never really liked him, he's kinda slow but his
Bountiful Harvest is an insane spell.
Nunu & Willump-He has something like a second
Smite with his
Consume,oh and it also heals you.
Well, thats all that i have to say.I hope it helped you.
There is going to be a jungle rework with Season 3, but I think you will still be ok with those three.

You'll probably want 12 defense for tank junglers, though some offense is nice if you're jungling someone like

Get 9x


Thanks to Minho for the sig!
Everyone has given you good advice.
Warwick and
Nunu & Willump are your best bets for jungling pre-20. Although you will probably get alot of flack for it since most people pre lvl 25 dont jungle. So your top is going to go 1v2 alot. However don't let this dissuade you, once you start playing serious games at lvl 30 an experienced jungler is going to be received quite well on any team. Season 3 the jungle is going to get alot tougher, so get used to the mechanics and get your senses on good ganking opportunities before then.

yes, he's right. go save for runes. buy runes before lots of champions.
btw, go try jungling vs AI. that's what i did when im starting to jungle. it is to be familiar with the system and not an embarrassment in case you die vs creeps. i remembered that my friend told me that jungle
Shyvana is a beast. i tried it vs AI(without runes) and i failed miserably. lol
it may take alot of practice but jungling imo is very fun to play. once you mastered jungling, go for counter jungling. :D

Go with one of the ones mentioned above, and no, runes are not NECESSARY but they are recommended for a reason.
Yes you are definitely fine without runes, but trust me once you have unlocked tier 3 runes, they help you out a ton! It really depends on what you get but usually always, they have a huge impact.
Runes are more of an early game type of thing, they do not provide massive impact late game, but they do in the early game.
Take for example if you have yourself some Attack Speed Quints. that extra 11% attack speed may not seem like a lot, but it's actually a great boost for you believe it or not. Same goes with flat armor seals, they provide you with 13 armor if you have 9 of those which is recommended.
These help you take reduced damage from the jungle camps, considering Season 3 Jungle are harder.

How important ares runes/masteries to jungle? Can I do it even though I don't have all the mastery points? Can I do it without runes?
