RuneScape Necromancy Quick Level 5-49 Guide

With a plethora of players racing to hit both level 99 and 120 Necromancy, efficiency is one of the most important aspects RuneScape players seek out when training. This is true not only for Necromancy but for skilling in general. Jagex is well aware of this and has released a quick level guide for Necromancy players to follow as they level up from level 5 to level 49.

How to Level Necromancy Fast in RuneScape

The first part of Jagex’s Necromancy Quick Level guide has been released, and it focuses on levels five-49. As with other skills that have been introduced in the past, Necromancy begins at level five as opposed to level one.

Note: Free-to-play players are able to level Necromancy up to level 20.

This guide covers the basics of enemies that you can level on and certain quests that would be beneficial through the levels. It is not the be-all and end-all of training Necromancy, but means to act as a base as you discover what works for you when training this new all-encompassing combat skill.
