Reiterating what I said on the other thread.

Nice to see Quick Guide: Necromancy Level Milestones on the main page , will be very helpful :)

Would be nice to know what is the best action bar setup for necromancy, in which order.

The inks are very over priced now but I expect it'll drop in due time after the race is over.

Nothing from my wardrobe is compatible/with the 2 main /offhand sadly..I guess that's to be expected.

About the new necromancy quest,spirit of war. Maybe could you make the obols easier to find. For example, hot or cold if you are near. Also it could be a yellow dot
simiilar to Deano and Sammy. I had trouble finding the last one and they just aren't clear. I was circling the island many times till I found the last one. In the ''corner'' isn't enough I think.

Since Nadir and Vengeance are required for an important necromancy quests the RNG of the items required to start sagas should be improved. Gating quests behind super rare RNG is more than a bit asinine.


They are very common (but hard to see) if you on the right floors, talk to the saga guy again as you may have already found and forgot about them years ago as you will never see them again if found.

If not, then just quickly c1 a few times.


I already checked Skald, I don't have them unlocked. I ran floors for 4 hours and didn't find any. I closely examined every room, and used the wiki for reference on what type of shapes to look for

TBH it is a bit annoying that all the players are funneled back into the ritual site at higher levels. Seeing the crowds was cool for a couple of days, but it was so much better without a bunch of players on the grid.

It's all a bit more complicated at lvl 90 and now all the distraction is becoming an issue. Also, NPC at the smith taunting me about the number of tasks being offered does not help. My character is not being well represented in those situations. At some point enough is enough. There is a new sheriff in town, etc.

BTW where is the sheriff?

And why is there an elephant sound when I complete a soul ritual? That has to be some kind of glitch and the real sound is yet to be heard. I'm thinking they say "wheee." The elephant sound is more like "get out of the way!"

I spend a lot of time adjusting the camera to get a clear view of the tiles. There is one reason for that, the pillar in the middle is too tall.

Lop off the top part, visibility restored.

My character would already have done that. Broken the machine, whatever. But at least the view is nice.

Currenly 105 and as much as I want to love this skill and I do love the concept. Jagex have completely ruined this for me.

The amount of bugs and broken content is unbelieveable and I do not recall such a problem with archeology. It's almost as if rituals were untested.

The first major problem is the layout is absolutely terrible. The sheer volume of people ruins the experience. You've got 10-20 people in every world like ants running around the ritual square, this is your view point as much as theirs but people loiter and it blocks your view. There isnt any instancing and there needs to be.

One of my biggest annoyances is ritual disturbances.. This is broken to hell. Not only is it extremely frustrating that you have half the world blocking you and in the first week various trolls griefing with challenge gems, fires and massive pets (something Jagex SHOULD have forseen) but you also have disturbances where by the pathing is completely broken.

You click the wandering spirit, you go up to it and just do nothing. The same applies to corrupted glyphs you have to practically spam click.

There are a couple of soul storms which force you to stand on another Glyph and this makes the disturbance uninteractable and the size of the Miasma in the "defile" can force walk you around it trying to find an empty space and wasting time. I have also noticed in 99% of cases that if the Defile spawns the mist 3 times then the disturbance is almost impossible due to the lack of time it's up.

I never had an issue with shambling horror personally but the improvement looks decent. However since update my screen periodically white flashes at the ritual site and this was giving me a head ache, going into a lower detail mode seems to have prevented it

Once again we are here with a combat update and once again Jagex have simply not took into consideration that this game's dungeons are uninstanced and the area themselves are rarely ever built for more than 2 people at the same time.

So when you have an update like this you have 500 people trying to do combat in similar areas that it becomes impossible for the average player to do the best advised material for their level. It is not right that a player has to spend half an hour switching worlds constantly to find there is no available space at the best area for their level

It is deeply unforgivable that once again these developers have completely disregarded and not learnt from past mistakes. All dungeons should have been instanced as a MINIMUM in the skill's first month.

Having to have all 4 runes in invo, not being able to use Grasping Pouch to store them is stupid. Again this is something I think a COMPETENT development team should have took into consideration. Also the wicked hood should have been updated to include Necrotic Runes. It wasn't

I dislike half assed updates.. I dislike an obvious rush job.

I felt that 90% of the issues i experienced we're not addressed on Monday.

Add right-click inspect similar to the well of souls to ritual chest and focus storage.
Account for alteration glyphs / modifiers in the output section of ritual interface.
Increace click-box size for corrupt glyphs.

I'm really starting to wonder about the whole disturbance system. Having failed a couple of them, I notice they repeated until I dealt with them.

Why is there a protection glyph? A player said the events were originally meant to destroy the rune underneath if we failed. Makes sense considering the system.

So the intention was for these to jump in and destroy our entire grid if we didn't succeed? That's what is disturbing! On day 1 I couldn't see anything, it took many attempts to finally see and then catch a wandering ghost. The shambling horror can be hard to spot even without other players. The glyphs are way more difficult than they should be.

It's all very strange, but at least they are trending towards a player friendly system.
