Necromancy IRL is actually far more related to ritual and religions, and hence divination and prayer may actually be the actual theme, not magic, in our new and exciting 29th skill of RS3.


Yeah, because Necromancy is a thing in real life.

Dude. Stop sealioning all the time.

There are real life religions revolving around necromancy and ancestral spirits, e,g, Voodoo and Thelema

I feel like its gonna involve like multiple combats at high levels + prayer or something and be a elite skill. But didn't they say they wanted people of all skill levels also to be able to get into it? so I'm not sure :( - Just me, and I'm just trying to find my way in life.

I really hope its a elite skill there are a billion games I can play if I don't like grinding. I come to runescape for the grind man that's what its about.

So please give me something to look forward to unlocking.

Maybe 80 Prayer, 80 Magic and 80 Summon would make sense.

I sure hope Necromancy is an elite skill. Otherwise, they might as well rework Invention and do away with its prerequisite skill requirements.

There is no hard and fast rule to suggest Necromancy could be locked behind level 80 skills. They could lock it behind level 50 skills if accessibility is a concern.

If Necromancy is an elite skill, my money is on Magic and Prayer being required. Summoning seems like an obvious third choice, but given in-game lore statements that can't be it. They could just lock it behind just two skills instead of three this time around.

If I had to pick a third skill for it, maybe they could use the Constitution skill? Given we're animating the dead there could be an additional price to pay and using our own life force would be an interesting way of doing it.

When Jagex is focusing on new and long lapsed players with content like FSW, story modes in dungeons and even the no requirement bosses like Arch Glacor, we should know the new skill will be rated G for GENERAL audience.

Anybody think it could be connected to Archeology?

Yes, I think Necromancy is just like Archaeology, only that we will obtain long lost 1st Age and prehistoric knowledge like Dragonkin, Kingdom of Shadow, Xau-Tak, Erebus, all kinds of Underwords from ghosts, ancestral spirits, zombies, ghouls, and such instead of 2nd and 3rd Age things from Archaeology soils.
