1. Will there be a necromancy hero item on release, or created later?
2. Will it add a spell like osrs resurrect crops but since crops don't die any more it adds a small extra item/bonus for using necromancy resources on empowering the patch?
3. Will the wight summoned by sliske's mask get a upgrade after certain necromancy milestones?
4. If we get a necromancy themed lumbridge crater event, will it include necrotic clue scrolls like sandy clues, but for necromancy?
5. Will there be necromancy treasure hunter items on release but we can't use them until after the 6 month period?
6. Will there be a necromancy themed event not like the crater but more like the golden cape/phat hunt or a necromancy 400m party releasing 3 titles like naughty/nice/aurora?
7. Will there be a golden necromancy outfit released in this year's leonard's lucky dip?
8. Since Sliske isn't a god, can we resurrect him?
9. Will the Dimension of Disaster be further explored post necromancy?
10. Will Xau-Tak finally appear in game?
11. Will necromancy minions be blocked from being summoned from certain areas? They will be super annoying if allowed at ge or fort forinthry or w84 lumby market.
12. Will the Godless finally play a role in the skill after sitting out gwd3?
13. Can players assist other players for necromancy requirements they don't meet themselves?
14. Will there be necromancy d&d's or minigames on release or added later?
15. Since bone fragments could have a use in the skill, will they be made tradeable on release?
16. Will we get hard mode skeletal horror after necromancy milestones or achievements?
17. Will we get necromancy cosmetics bought with runecoins in the marketplace on release or later?

1-17: Unlikely (13: maybe in some cases) Never uses treasure hunter keys. Never buys runecoins or bonds. Never pays extra for 'Premier' status or passes. Never will.

The answer to a lot of these is going to be "We don't know yet".

However, #8 is a definite no. Mahjarrat are direct creations of an elder god, and subject to the same rules on death as gods; Sliske makes a point of this during Sliske's Endgame .

Based on what the RS3 Necromancy livestream, we are likely going to have Neromancy themed hero items, but they are likelier to come with stories than just something like a Tavia Fishing Rod. They will be more like Orlando Smith's hat because there is substantial in game lore with Orlando, but not Tavia.

We really don't need to "resurrect crops" in RS3 as they will never die. They can only get diseased but with monolith power we can choose, they don't even get diseased. OSRS is severely outdated with their crops, like at least 10 years outdated and are just hoping to be resurrected.

A lot of questions are pretty much answered in the livestream. Some of them are already designed and implemented, and we will see them in the big package with 7 quests, 2 new bosses, all kinds of new necromancy items and new foundations unlocked with lore based content similar to Fort Forinthry. The other things will be up to the feedbacks of the community a little later. Foundations are set in stones, but the community helps to shape the everchanging RS3 landscapes for the next 20 yeas with tools built with choices, flexibility and extensibility in mind.

"The boss fight scales based on group size with each member of the group receiving their own drop."


https://runescape.wiki/w/Hermod,_the_Spirit_of_War

Most certainly we can group, and each of us have our own drop so group has no direct effects on chances. However, the difficulty is scaled with the size of the group, so the difficulty of the fight is affected by the size of the team, and if you team with higher Necromancy proficiency players you get higher drop rate.
