I haven't prepped at all because I have soooo much other stuff to do. Very excited however!

Never be excited about a new skill as it will only let you down. Expect the worst and then you will get a nice surprise if it turns out to be good.
Haha good idea. That happened to me with Summoning back in 2008. I wasn't expecting much but in the end it turned out to be my favorite skill!

I've seen some clips on YouTube and it looks very tempting!

It is always a good idea for games with real, high quality content like RS3 to show more and more only when they are close to the release date of their key content.

And more importantly, when they have such high quality content to show, then and only then they can give their players guidance on what to prepare.

Knowing ectoplasm may play a role in Necromancy as well as RS3 giving us ample buckets of slime in a related event, many of my friends who still have to train prayer are now getting buckets of slime, as they may be useful for Necromancy. Even if they aren't figured in Necromancy, they can then still use them for prayer training.

My biggest concern is that it will be a very slow skill to level up compared to the last few that have been fast. Looking at the vids it shows the early rituals giving only 175 xp every 30 seconds, click on the random events say 300 xp total so 600xp every minute or 36k per hours to start without afking or only half that by skipping the events and afk. They have also said the combat xp will be capped until you hit 120 + the time you miss out making the new runes or pay a fortune to buy them on week 1 (non-irons)

Hopefully my numbers are wrong, and it will be faster.

That's why all the preparations we can make ahead of the release of Necromancy help a lot.

For instance, from the beta testers' videos as well as RS3 Jmods' comments in social media, we know we have many random events with rituals they haven't made visible yet. We can gain xp a lot faster, especially when we don't AFK.

See? The RS3 team only shows us little information but many players should prepared to be surprised with far more content and far more ways to play Necromancy at various paces.

It's all good and well the testers showing random events on an empty server, but on release everyone and his dog (attention seeking kids and their overgrown pets) + alts will be at the same spot on every world and make them impossible to click on or even see. It would be better if they make the area semi instanced for the first few weeks like they did with the new slayer monsters in the crypt.

Like I said expect the worst and hope for the best.

Even the RS3 beta testers weren't shown the random events.

Random events should be specific to specific individuals like in other skills. The other players won't see them and won't bother us.

We don't have anything to prepare for such random events now anyway, as not even the RS3 beta testers have seen them.

I have no idea what I'll do. Will just see what happens casually the first day. I have the zombie walk too . Will reactivate that when the time comes :P

Yes, get our death and life cycle emoticons ready for Necromancy themed fashionscape.
