Necromancy is the latest and greatest combat skill for Runescape 3, so no more questions like “When is Necromancy coming to RS3?” This member's skill was released on 7 August 2023 and is the first combat skill allowing players to reach level 120. Necromancy is unrelated to the other combat skills, AKA the combat triangle, but training it will raise your overall combat level. Moreover, training Necromancy will still boost your combat level, increasing the max combat level to 152.
To train Necromancy with combat, you must utilize an off-hand conduit and a main hand siphon, both of which are new weapons to the Necromancy skill. As their names imply, the siphon attacks and drains enemies, while the conduit is used to raise the undead, who will then fight alongside you. New abilities are introduced as you progress, unlocking more aspects of this new skill.
What Is RS3 Necromancy and What Makes It Unique?
As Necromancy is the 29th skill that Jagex introduced to RuneScape 3, they’ve made some great additions to keep things fresh. Necromancy also expands the lore and story of Gielnor, particularly in the underworld.
Incantations
Utilizing Necrotic runes, players can now use special incantation spells, which include attack boosts alongside other great features. These spells are entirely linked to the Necromancy skill, with no magic requirement necessary. From level 24 Necromancy, you can use the first spell, which is a teleport to the City of Um. Incantations also have to be unlocked alongside talents tiers, such as the Invoke Death incantation, which requires level 8 Necromancy and the seventh tier of talents to access.
Talent Tree
The talent tree, or talent system, is used to unlock incantations and allows you to upgrade weapons. To unlock talents, you will need talent points, which are received from training Necromancy via combat. However, to unlock new tiers, you will need to complete rituals and complete Necromancy quests.
Rituals
Rituals are a non-combat method needed to obtain new tiers of talent, as well as upgrade weapons and create necrotic runes. Performing rituals are done by completing a series of glyph, light, and object puzzles on the floor of the ritual site in the City of Um.
Combat
As mentioned, Necromancy has a very unique combat style that fully encompasses all that one envisages with Necromancy. Combat involves draining enemies' power and strength alongside using powerful tools to bring foes back from the dead and fight on your team. This is the main focus of the RS3 Necromancy skill and is sure to revitalize many players' RS3 experience.
City of Um
With the announcement of the necromancy release date, RS3 players have been eager to learn about the new locations the skill will bring. The City of Um is the main city and focus of the Necromancy skill and questline. The city is a major location of Gielnors underworld, with many souls making it their home. You will be training the majority of the Necromancy skill in this city, so it’s a good idea to learn all the different locations and features, such as the docks and citadel. You can reach the city by going to the Underworld portal, located north of the Draynor Village lodestone. You can also go directly to the City of Um with the teleport, unlocked at level 24 Necromancy and with the completion of the Rune Mythos quest.
RuneScape Necromancy Requirements
Aside from the aforementioned “Necromancy!” quest, there are no specific requirements to start training Necromancy. The combat is disconnected from the other combat skills, so you don’t need good strength, attack, or defense levels to begin training.
Combat RS3 Necromancy Training Methods
Training Necromancy with combat involves fighting various undead enemies, utilizing your siphon and conduit weapons. Much like other combat skills, as your progress through the levels, different enemies become more viable training options.
Recommended Setup
The siphon weapon, known as the Death Guard, has different tiers starting with tier 10. You should upgrade it as soon as your Necromancy level allows and keep doing so until you max out the skill. It's a similar story for the off-hand Conduit item, where the Skull lantern should be upgraded as soon as possible.
Other items you should use are ones with a focus on attacking undead enemies. The ghost hunter helm and backup give bonuses when attacking undead, and the Salve amulet (e) also gives similar bonuses, with a boost to accuracy as well. The tier 5 Mahjarrat aura is the recommended aura to use due to its damage bonuses. As for armor, hybrid armor is recommended, but when you reach high levels, it is recommended to switch to power armor, in particular ones of the Necronium type. Lastly, any type of God book is ideal for your pocket slot item, such as Armadyl's Book of Law or Zamorak's Book of Chaos.
Getting Started
To begin training Necromancy and gain access to many of its skills, you will need to complete the “Necromancy!” quest. While the Necromancy skill is a Member skill, this first quest can be completed as a free-to-play user. The quest can be started by visiting the underworld portal just north of Draynor Village.
1-99/120 RS3 Necromancy Combat Guide
Levels 1-5: The Necromancy! Quest
Completing this quest will provide you with the basic information needed to start your RS3 Necromancy journey successfully; not only that, it will provide enough XP to carry you straight to level 5!
This tutorial will introduce the mechanics and some new aspects of the skill, such as Glyphs. These will be used as a ritual component, drawing on "Glyph spots" within the City of Um.
Levels 5-15: Talent Tree Second Tier Unlock Rituals
For your second bout of RS3 Necromancy leveling, you'll want to complete the second Talent Tree tier unlock rituals. To do so, you'll need to acquire 50 souls to complete this, meaning you'll have to carry out roughly 13 rituals to reach your goal.
Levels 15-34: Talent Tree Third Tier Unlock Rituals
Once you're at level 15, continue with rituals, aiming for the third-tier unlock. You'll need to accumulate 400 souls overall for this stretch of the leveling journey, though this does include the previous 50 you acquired. As a whole, you should need to conduct around 90 rituals to reach your goal.
Levels 34-50: Slaying Banshee
You can find banshees in the Slayer Tower or a Personal Slayer Dungeon. We'd recommend in the early stages to aim for the latter, as the Slayer Tower will be overrun with eager players.
There aren't many requirements for this set of leveling, but you'll need either a Slayer Helm on the anachronia stand or earmuffs; failure to do so will drain your stats.
Each Banshee slain will offer you 217.5XP, and as they only have a defense of 27, your accuracy should be 100%, providing you use tier 30 weapons. Additionally, these creatures use attack Melee, so your best bet for success is to counter using AoE. You may also want to consider wearing Salve (e) or some Ghost Hunter Equipment, as both can be effective on these creatures.
Levels 50-60: Slaying Ankou
Once you're at level 50, battling Ankou is your best bet for climbing through the next ten levels of your Necromancy in RuneScape adventure. You can find these creatures in either the Stronghold of Security or a Personal Slayer Dungeon, which upon release once again, the latter may be more suitable due to crowding.
For every Ankou you kill, you'll receive 362.5XP, and with a defense of 44, you can achieve 100% accuracy on attacks when using tier 50 and above weaponry, as well as Salve. Again, just like the Banshee, these creatures attack with Melee, so AoE is an easier route to take, and just like their predecessors, Ghost Hunter Equipment and Salve (e) are sure to be beneficial.
Levels 60-63: Greater Rituals (Talent Tree 4th Tier Unlock)
For this short leveling journey, you'll need to accumulate 2,000 souls, which will require you to conduct around 200 rituals using high-tier bones; this will also be when Glyphs come into play. By using the Speed 1 and Multiply 1 Glyph, you can complete your rituals faster and acquire more souls. Making it possible for you to complete as little as 150 rituals to reach level 63.
However, remember that Glyphs will degrade after use. They can be reconstructed, however, which you can do by repairing them with the same amount of materials used to draw them on the Glyph spots.
Levels 63-66: Slaying Shadow Warriors
You can find these foes in the Legends Guild, but we would again recommend considering a POSD due to the inevitable overcrowding that's sure to occur due to this skill's newness. Like the previous creatures you've taken on while leveling RS3 Necromancy, these guys are susceptible to Salve (e) and Ghost hunter equipment, which is sure to be a pattern continuing through this skilling journey.
Each Shadow Warrior you defeat will grant you 390XP and has a defense of 47, so aim for those tier 60 and above weapons to ensure 100% accuracy. Again, just like previous battles, these warriors attack using Melee, so AOE is an excellent choice.
If you're unable to access a POSD and can't access the Legends Guild, continue to slay Ankou at Stronghold of Security.
Levels 66-70: Greater Rituals (Talent Tree 5th Tier Unlock)
At this point in your RS3 Necromancy leveling journey, you'll be feeling the pressure a little more, as to complete this skilling bout and reach level 70, you're going to have to complete an estimated 810 rituals to accumulate the 8,500 souls needed; this is assuming you're using the high tier bones.
You will have unlocked the Glyph Multiply 2 at this stage, allowing even better output when conducting rituals. If you put them to use, you could be fortunate enough to acquire the needed souls in as little as 600 rituals.
Levels 70: Kiln (optional)
When you've reached this stage in your RuneScape Necromancy journey, you'll be eligible to acquire the Kiln cape, which can be augmented to give you the Necromancy Zuk cape; to do so, ensure you have an Igneous stone.
First, you'll need to ensure you have completed the mini-game and acquired the cape. For this to work and provide the cape you desire, take on the Kiln using predominantly Necromancy while ensuring you hybrid using one of the three other attack styles. Then upon receiving your cape, add the Igneous stone to the Necromancy Kiln cape to create a Zuk cape.
As we stated, predominantly use Necromancy for this stage, while either hybriding, tribriding, or going all out and using a combination of all three attack styles now along with the Necromancy, now called "Quadbriding." You'll also want to include some tier 70+ gear to make the battle easier.
If applicable, using DTD (Deathtouch Darts) when hybriding can be highly beneficial, as this counts as Range, and these items are known to kill almost any RS3 monster in one hit. This will be especially effective on harder-to-kill monsters like Jads or Har-Aken.
Below we have compiled a few of the optimal ways to tackle this segment of our RS3 Necromancy training guide:
Hybrid - 37% HP dealt with Necromancy.
- Necromancy: 1-9,11-15,22-24,31-32
- Secondary Style: 10, 16-21, 25-30, 33,37.
Tribrid - 23% HP dealt with Necromancy.
- Necromancy: 1-5, 8, 11-13, 22-23, 31-32.
- Secondary Style: 6-7, 9-10, 14-21.
- Third Style: 24-30, 33-37.
Quadbrid - 17% HP dealt with Necromancy.
- Necromancy: 1-3, 8, 11-13, 22-23, 31.
- Secondary Style: 28-30, 32-37.
- Third Style: 17-21, 24-27.
- Fourth Style: 4-7, 9-10, 14-16.
Levels 70-90: Slaying Bound Skeletons
You'll want to head to the Fortinthty Crypt or use a POSD to find these foes. Though we'd heavily recommend using POSD as the Crypt only seems to have four skeletons, whereas the dungeon presents five, and they spawn faster, making for quicker leveling bouts.
It's worth noting that at this stage of your RS3 Necromancy skilling journey, you will have some unlocked quests that should be done at this stage; doing so will make your journey a lot smoother; further down in our guide you can find a list of the Necromancy quests that you'll find helpful. You'll also want to upgrade your gear to tier 80+ as you progress through this segment, or you'll face a much more difficult battle.
For each Skeleton you slay, you'll be awarded 600 XP, a steady increase from previous endeavors. The Bound Skeletons also have a defense of 65, meaning with tier 70+ weapons, you'll have very high accuracy, but upgrading to 80+ will provide you that extra edge.
Like their predecessors, these monsters attack using Melee, so again, using AOE will make this bout fairly easy. These guys are also susceptible to Salve (e), but Ghost Hunter gear is far less relevant than those who came before them.
90+ Rituals
For this segment of the RS3 Necromancy guide, depending on your XP goals, you may want to take a different approach. The reason for this is you'll only unlock split souls, meaning you won't receive the combat XP you're looking for; they're only good for bossing in all actuality, but if you want the ability, go for it!
This will regicide you to unlock 35,000 souls, which will be quite the grind—giving another reason for some players to bypass this entirely.
90+ ED3 Bridge Run
The new Trash Run in ED3 is the next method we'll be touching on for the level 90+ stretch of our RS3 Necromancy guide. To benefit from this, you'll want to clear the run to the third checkpoint, kill the Leviathan and make your way past him until you reach the checkpoint Temple entrance and locate the chest. From there, make your way to the middle of the room, searching for any valuables as you do so.
This method will inflict its fair share of damage, but it shouldn't be too worrying due to the amount of AOE used in Necromancy. Consider eating some food if needed.
You will notice when in battle, four Necromancers are in the corners of the room; do not kill them. Doing so will only spawn more skeletons and lessen your chances of success. Once you have slain all the skeletons in the temple, teleport out and re-bank if needed, then re-enter the temple and repeat the process of slaying skeletons using the chest to teleport back in.
90+ Risen Ghosts
Like our level 70-90 segment, you'll find Risen Ghosts in the Fort Forinthry Crypt or a POSD. Taking these guys down offers a hefty 1,500 XP per ghost, a hearty improvement from previous gains. With a defense of 70, you'll want to ensure you've got tier 90 weapons and Salve if you want 100% attack accuracy.
It's at this point in our Necromancy in RS3 guide we see a slight turning point for how we will approach the creatures we're slaying. As with the Risen Ghosts, unlike previous monsters we've taken on in our Necromancy journey, they do not attack using Melee, instead using Magic. Instantly changing our usual dynamic on this questing journey as this means AOE is not as effective.
90+ Armored Phantoms (Hard)
You'll want to use POSD for these enemy fights, though before you decide on this method, take heed of the difficulty of this method. These enemies are harder to kill, but the reward will be well worth it if you are determined to do so.
For each Armored Phantom you destroy, you'll be awarded 2,750 XP toward your RuneScape Necromancy adventure, another excellent influx and upgrade from previous methods. Each Phantom has a defense of 87, but with tier 90 weapons, 99 Prayer, and Elder Overload potions, you can achieve 100% accuracy on attacks.
Despite the difficulty of this method, it does take us back to familiarity, as these monsters attack using Melee, meaning AoE is back on the table; and like many of their predecessors, they are susceptible to Salve (e) and Ghost Hunter gear.
90+ Abyssal Savages
The last Skilling bout suggestion for our RS3 Necromancy guide is slaying Abyssal Savages in the Wilderness. This final method is much easier than some 90+ leveling methods, though you'll likely yield less XP per hour.
Each Savage you take down will grant you 750 XP, halving your potential XP gains from options like Armored Phantoms, though the difficulty levels have also dropped significantly. As they are heavily populated in the north of the Wilderness, you also have the potential to take down several at once. This factor alone could see you upping the XP gains once more. With a defense of 75, you'll need tier 90 weapons for 100% accuracy, and since they attack using Melee, AoE is once again a go-to method.
The major difference with this technique is these creatures are susceptible to Demon Slayer and the Wildy DMG buff on puzzle boxes. The unfortunate aspect of this method is that the likelihood of getting a spot where you can gain steady XP is low, as with the hype for this new skill, there's no doubt it's going to get overcrowded very quickly
RS3 Necromancy Tips & Tricks
We recommend taking note of the following tips as they can significantly boost your Necromancy progression and even fill your pockets.
Make Sure Not to Skip Content
RuneScape Necromancy presents players with a series of quests, and by far, the best way to go about them is to follow along and complete them as they pop up. This ensures a smooth progression since players will be able to upgrade gear right before any major developments that require certain gear levels. Additionally, the new talent tree offers amazing upgrades, and it is best to focus on one skill rather than trying to level both at once.
Area tasks are a great way to gain more insight and tips for progressing further; these can be the turning point between staying on track and feeling lost, and the best part is they award buffs to both combat and rituals, so make sure not to skim through them. Moreover, ritual site chests offer decent storage, which can be utilized for more storage.
Gear Presets and Action Bar Binding
To be as efficient with your training as possible, we recommend new players create gear presets to quickly jump in and out of gear depending on their goal; combat or skilling. Furthermore, new players can toggle ‘Action Bar Binding’ in Settings to automatically switch controls based on the equipped gear, in this case, RS3 Necromancy training gear. To effectively use this feature, it is important to customize keybinds beforehand by right-clicking them and choosing binds of preference.
Make Use of XP Boosts
On the other hand, seasoned players will appreciate this next tip which revolves around boosting their leveling capabilities. The best way is to use overload or other stat-boosting potions and equip jewelry or capes offering various combat buffs that ensure faster progression. Furthermore, slaying swarms of monsters with big health bars, like skeletons in the lobby or troll cave spectral trolls, is recommended, as they can quickly fill your experience bars.
Another useful experience tip would be equipping the Wise perk on gear or off-hand, as it grants 1-4% extra XP for every 50k XP. Alternatively, Inspire Awe relic is as well a decent XP booster, granting a 2% XP buff for all Combat skills, Necromancy included. Torstol incense sticks are a good substitute for this as well.
Money Making
Everyone knows Runecrafting is a very lucrative money making skill but a highly tedious one too. With the integration of Necromancy into RuneScape, players will want runes to progress quickly, so a good strategy for racking up some serious coin is to focus on the rituals for essence and then crafting runes to sell to other players. The best part is that the demand for runes will always be present, making this effort a means of investing in the future.
RS3 Necromancy Cape
Once players attain 99 in Necromancy, much like with other skills, they will get the opportunity to purchase the Necromancy cape. This cape and the Necromancy hood can be purchased for 99k GP from the Necromancy master. The cape can be bought for a reduced price of 92k coins with an imbued or regular ring of chaos. While the cape offers an Alternation glyph buff and can temporarily increase the player’s Necromancy level from 99 to 100, the hood does not offer any benefits.
RS3 Necromancy FAQ
What Are the Requirements for Necromancy?
Necromancy in RuneScape has no requirements apart from The First Necromancer quest series, which serves as an introduction to the skill. However, we have some recommendations that can help in your journey. It is essential to upgrade weapons often, meaning when tier upgrades get unlocked, they will require five levels lower Smithing than the tier. So, make sure to have Smithing 15 or higher. Armor upgrades have the exact requirements, so level Crafting to 15 or above. Additionally, having runes helps with training efficiency, so have Runecrafting leveled to craft Spirit, Bone, and Flesh runes. Moreover, having 10+ in Prayer helps with combat and survival, while 11+ in Herblore is very useful for Necromancy and boosting potions’ potency.
Is Necromancy in RS3 a 120 Skill?
Necromancy is the first Combat skill that can be leveled all the way to 120, raising the player’s Combat cap to level 152. Apart from Necromancy, RuneScape so far featured only six skills on which players were able to achieve a skill mastery so high; Archeology, Invention, Herblore, Dungeoneering, Farming, and Slayer, requiring a total of 104,273,167 XP each and 80,618,854 XP for Invention. For reference, level 99 skills require 13,034,431 XP each, while Invention requires 36,073,511 XP to reach skill mastery.
Is RS3 Necromancy an Elite Skill?
Although Necromancy can be leveled to 120, it is not an elite skill, so it has no skill requirements to train it. It also does not have a different experience-to-level ratio, nor does it award the true skill mastery cape on level 120. Only one elite skill in RuneScape exists, Invention, which requires level 80 in Divination, Smithing, and Crafting to start leveling it.

And with the help of our comprehensive walkthrough, we're sure you'll feel a sense of ease and find the new content far less overwhelming, so let's get into it!
What Are City of Um RS3 Achievement Diaries?
RS3 achievements, in general, are a set of area tasks. In this case, these areas are within RS3s Underworld City of Um and are broken down into subcategories, those being "Easy City of Um" and "Medium City of Um." There will be varying NPCs you converse with to begin or complete each of the tasks, and you can locate them by locating the green task map icon in your minimap or the world map.
Why Do Players Chase Achievement Diaries in RS3?
There are also rewards granted for completing these tasks, such as XP for various skills, Tome of Um, and others. It's worth noting that the various Tomes of Um you acquire from these tasks must be obtained in sequential order; failing to collect the Tome from easy tasks will also render you unable to get those from medium tasks.
Additionally, in the event you lose a Tome, you can return to the NPC who provided it in the first place to have it replaced. With this in mind, let's begin a breakdown of what will be expected of you to complete the easy City of Um RS3 achievement diary.

City of Um RS3 Achievement Diary - FAQ
Since the City of Um is so new to us all, there's no doubt users have some burning questions, so we've answered some of those frequently asked questions, so you don't have to go hunting for answers elsewhere.
What is the Importance of Achievement Diaries?
Though the City of Um RS3 achievement diary tasks aren't a necessity, they will undoubtedly provide you with some benefits. The XP, items, and other rewards gained from their completion of these tasks is sure to give you a push, especially as a completionist.

Read postOSRS can detect auto clickers through their advanced detection system. The game tracks unusual clicking patterns and repetitive actions that don't match normal human behavior.
I have researched extensively about auto clickers in OSRS, and here's what you need to know: Jagex keeps their detection methods secret. This prevents cheaters from creating ways to bypass the system. The game monitors your account activity 24/7 for suspicious patterns.
If you get caught using an auto clicker, Jagex will ban your account permanently. This means you will lose all your progress and items.
You will need to start fresh with a new account, and you might need to buy OSRS gold again to recover your losses.
Many players ask me if there are "safe" auto clickers. The answer is no. Every auto clicker leaves a pattern that OSRS can detect. The game knows the difference between human clicks and automated ones.
The best way to play OSRS is manually. This keeps your account safe and follows the game rules. Manual clicking takes more time, but you won't risk losing your account and progress.
Remember, Jagex improves their detection systems regularly. Even if an auto clicker works today, it might get detected tomorrow. The risk is not worth the convenience.
I recommend focusing on enjoying the game as intended. OSRS is designed for manual play, and that's the safest way to progress in the game.

The Lore of Song of the Elves OSRS
The Song of the Elves lore delves into the intricate and compelling history of the elven race in Gielinor, a significant aspect of the Old School RuneScape universe. As players embark on this epic quest, they'll uncover hidden truths about the elves, their origins, and the tumultuous events that have shaped their society. The quest's narrative revolves around the fabled city of Prifddinas, the pinnacle of elven civilization and a symbol of their achievements. For centuries, the city has been shrouded in mystery, with players only catching glimpses of its beauty and grandeur through the dense forests of Tirannwn.
The lore of Song of the Elves sheds light on the struggles that have plagued the elven race, such as the schism between the Iorwerth clan, led by the nefarious Lord Iorwerth, and the other elven clans. This divide has been fueled by Lord Iorwerth's insatiable quest for power and control, which has led him to dabble in the forbidden arts of dark magic. Unfortunately, his experiments with the elven crystal, a potent magical artifact intrinsic to the elven way of life, have had disastrous consequences, shattering the crystal and threatening the very existence of Prifddinas itself.
Throughout the quest, players will learn of the deep-rooted connections between the elves and Seren, the goddess they revere. Seren's influence on the elves has been both a blessing and a curse, as her departure from Gielinor led to the fragmentation of the elven crystal and the onset of the dark times that have befallen the elven race. As the Song of the Elves narrative unfolds, players will encounter remnants of Seren's legacy, such as the Light and Dark Crystals, which serve as a testament to the duality of her nature and her impact on the elves.The Song of the Elves lore weaves a rich tapestry of intrigue, conflict, and redemption, offering players a chance to explore the depths of elven history and culture. By journeying through the breathtaking landscapes of Tirannwn and Prifddinas, players will gain a deeper appreciation for the elven race's resilience and ingenuity, as they strive to restore the shattered crystal, reunite the warring factions, and secure a brighter future for the elves of Gielinor.

Read postKnowing how to organize bank in OSRS is essential for smooth gameplay. I'll show you the most effective ways to sort your bank and save time.
Clear out unwanted items first. Visit the Wise Old Man in Draynor Village - he can spot worthless quest items and outdated equipment. This creates more space for important items.
Bank tabs make finding items quick. Create separate tabs for:
- Combat gear and weapons
- Teleport items and runes
- Food and potions
- Skilling supplies
- Farming items
- Quest items
- Valuable loot
Use placeholders for items you frequently withdraw. Right-click an item and select "Placeholder" to keep its spot even when you take it out. This keeps your layout consistent.
Your house can store many items. Build a costume room to keep holiday items and special outfits. If you need extra gold to upgrade your house, you can buy OSRS gold from Chicks Gold to speed up the process.
Combine items when possible. Many items in OSRS can be merged, like herb sacks or gem bags. This saves valuable bank spaces.
Keep tabs organized by value or use frequency. Put your most-used items in the first tab for quick access. Sort remaining items by how often you use them.
These simple steps will transform your messy bank into an organized space. A clean bank means faster banking and more time for playing.

Read postUnderstanding what can autocast demonbane spells helps players optimize their demon-slaying strategies. Three specific staves offer this capability, each with unique advantages for different combat situations.
The Purging Staff is the best option for autocasting demonbane spells. This staff doubles the effectiveness of demonbane spells, making it particularly powerful against demon opponents.
The enhanced bonuses from this staff create significant damage output increases.
The Staff of the Dead provides a valuable alternative with its special attack feature. This staff enables demonbane spell autocasting while offering a defensive bonus through its special attack, reducing melee damage by 50% for sixty seconds.
Players can buy OSRS gold to acquire this staff and improve their demon-fighting capabilities.
The Toxic Staff of the Dead functions similarly to its non-toxic counterpart. It maintains the autocasting ability and defensive special attack while adding a poison element to combat.
For maximum effectiveness against powerful demons like K'ril Tsutsaroth, combine these staves with the Mark of Darkness spell. This combination improves accuracy and damage output significantly.
Players using these staves on greater demon slayer tasks can wear a slayer helmet (i) for additional accuracy bonuses.
The Ward of Arceuus spell complements these staves by reducing incoming damage by 10%. Note that players should avoid using recoil damage items like the ring of recoil or echo boots during certain demon-related achievements, as these items can disqualify progress.
These staves provide essential tools for efficient demon slaying, especially during extended combat sessions requiring consistent spell casting.

Read postAs RuneScape 3 has just dropped the 29th skill Necromancy, it's all the rage right now. So there's no doubt many of our users are already embarking on their dark journey to 120, which is why we're here to provide you the tools to do so with minimal stress and effort! This guide is filled with all you'll need to know to complete the first quest in the Necromancy series and get the wheels turning so your adventure is all smooth sailing. Now let's dive into some of the finer details.
What Is the Necromancy! Quest?
This is the first quest in "The First Necromancer" quest series, acting as the introduction to both the new Necromancy skill and the City of Um, which expands the Underworld of Gielinor. The new Necromancy skill offers users the chance to conjure the undead, conquer the Underworld and perfect your Necromancer abilities; an exceptional new addition to the RS3 world.
This new quest is the first in its series, and brings with it several others; an excellent way to get stuck into the new skill and bring you one step closer to level 120 and a fabulous new skill cape. This is also a free-to-play quest, as non-members have access to the Necromancy RS3 early stages.
Requirements and Foes in Our RS3 Necromancy! Quest Guide
This quest has no official requirements due to the fact it is the beginning stage of the new RS3 Necromancy skill. So you'll be able to begin your journey into the Underworld with minimal effort, and as the quest's official length is short, it won't be too long before you're well into your Necromancer adventure.
The enemies you'll face in this quest are low-level monsters of the Underworld, Ghost Troll Brute (1), and Ghost Troll Lout (1), both sitting at level 3.
Getting Started With the RS3 Necromancy! Quest
To get things started with this quest, you'll need to make your way just north of Draynor's Lodestone and inspect the white light portal, also known as the Underworld Portal. When you do so, a floating sword will appear and attack you; under the command of Rasial, the First Necromancers.
Knocking on Death's Door
This attack will result in your "death," transporting you to Death's Office, where Death himself will greet you, confused by your death. Explain to him how you had briefly begun your investigation before a black metal sword with glowing green runes mercilessly ended your adventure. Death will inform you the runes on the blade translate to "anguish," and he will instruct you to travel to the Underworld with him.
This will invoke a cutscene in which you are told Rasial has selected you as his next apprentice. You will then find yourself at the ritual site of the City of Um, where Rasial will greet you. The meeting isn't a friendly one, however, as Rasial explains his plans to wage war on the living by unleashing the souls he has collected; he states that soon enough, the dead will outnumber the living. He will then go on to taunt you, explaining how your only way to defeat him is to learn Necromancy in RS3 and how Death has no option but to assist you on your journey.
Once he is done with his speech, you will see Lupe and Sostratus appear from the bridge. These are the two remaining survivors since Rasial has drained the Well of Souls. With the help of Death, the two remaining souls conclude that Rasial has conducted a communion ritual utilizing his own soul vessel to move the souls to it. Upon the realization, Death summons Malignius Mortifer, a Necromancer, to be your guide through the early stages of Necromancy. He will show you how to conduct your own ritual to replenish the City of Ums' soul count.
The Communion Ritual
This part of the RS3 Necromancy! quest guide will begin with Malignius telling you to clear the way to the nearby mounds of dust covering the floor. Interact with them. To do so, there are four surrounding the ritual site, which are marked by waypoint arrows.
The First Casting
Malignius will then go on to explain the steps of the ritual, indicating you must place a focus item on the center pedestal; he will provide you with a grubby bone to use as your focus item. Placing the item will determine the ritual you're going to conduct; then, you must draw the required Glyphs to the nearby tiles. Select the pedestal's "Place focus" option; this will allow you to then select the "makeshift communion" ritual.
From this action, you’ll be granted:
- Basic Ritual Candles
- Basic Ghostly Ink
Place the basic ritual candles in the four pentagon symbol tiles around the ritual site. You'll also want to use your ink to fill the Glyphs needed for the ritual. Pay close attention at this stage, as Glyphs can be placed on any of the tiles at the site, but you have to ensure that you use the correct number and type for the selected ritual. So you'll then want to interact with the nearby Glyph spot and draw the "Commune" Glyph, repeating this on a second Glyph spot.
However, before you can continue with the Necromancy quest in RS3, Malignius will point out a depleted Glyph of a previous ritual remains on one of the tiles; this is something you must correct before you continue. He will then offer you more basic ghostly ink to interact with the worn-down Elemental tile and repair it to continue with your current ritual.
With all of these steps correctly carried out, you'll be ready to begin the ritual. Select "start ritual" on the skull platform beside you, and you will begin the chant. Upon completing the ritual, Malignius will express his surprise at your success on your first attempt, and you will be granted some Necromancy XP.
The Well of Souls
The Communal ritual results in Ted, a skeleton from Um, being summoned. He will advise that you interact with the Well of Souls. Doing so opens the interface, which displays the Talent Tree; when it does, select the first talent shown at the bottom titled "Conjure Skeleton Warrior"; you'll then notice that it requires a talent point to unlock.
Ted will then go on to explain that despite filling the vessel enough to gain more power, you must first earn a talent point to be deemed worthy. In order to acquire these points, you must earn combat experience in Necromancy.
Into Battle
At this point of your Necromancy questing journey, Sostratus will give you a Death Guard, an item used to imbue powerful attacks with necrotic power. Equip the Death Guard and begin your attack on the nearby Ghost Troll Brute and Ghost Troll Lout. Keep in mind, however, that until you unlock Necromancy abilities, you will attack using auto-attacks, and all attacks you perform with Necromancy in RS3 have a chance to critically strike an enemy, which can increase damage.
Upon slaying the two low-level creatures, you'll gain a talent point, at which point you should interact with the Well of Souls once more, and you'll then be able to unlock the Conjure Skeleton Warrior talent. In order to use this talent, however, you'll need the following:
- A Conduit
- Ectoplasm
Sostratus will also provide you with a skull lantern for future conjurations. As for the ectoplasm, this can be acquired by performing rituals, though as you embark on an entirely new journey, you will gain 25 once you've finished conversing with the group.
And that's that! You've successfully maneuvered your very first RS3 Necromancy journey. Go forth and conquer the Underworld! Now, let's take a look at those rewards we've all been waiting for!
RS3 Necromancy! Quest Guide Rewards
The rewards from this quest are:
- 1 Quest Point
- 200 Necromancy XP
- Death Guard (tier 10)
- Skull Lantern (tier 10)

Read postMaximizing points in Guardians of the Rift (GOTR) depends on specific strategies and gear setup. I will share proven methods from extensive gameplay experience to help you achieve peak performance.
Your Mining and Runecrafting levels directly affect point gains. Higher Mining lets you gather more fragments before altars open.
The Varrock platebody and charged celestial ring increase fragment collection speed. Using all available essence pouches increases your runs' efficiency.
Portal timing makes an important difference. The RuneLite GOTR plugin shows portal timers - watch for yellow or red indicators.
Focus on altars that give higher-tier cells, with priority on death and blood runes. Red cells give 15 points for both elemental and catalytic energy, with a maximum of 180 total points per game.
Start each game with 10 guardian cells. Place five barriers at the front immediately when the game begins.
Create guardians if the count drops below 10, which adds bonus points and helps prevent game failure. Maintain guardian count by checking the creation spot while crafting at tables.
Combo runes provide a 50% point boost, making elemental points easier to obtain. Keep more elemental than catalytic points for optimal balance.
Disable unwanted talisman drops except for death, blood, nature, and law runes to save inventory space.
For players wanting to speed up their progress, you can buy OSRS gold to get better equipment faster. The right gear setup significantly improves point gains per game.
The lantern drop offers additional point boosts. Stay near portal spawn locations and prioritize higher-tier altars. This method consistently yields 6-10 points per game, with potential for higher scores as your skills improve.
Remember to stock binding necklaces if using combo runes. This strategy maximizes points from how to max points GOTR OSRS while maintaining consistent gameplay flow.

Read postThe Heroes' Quest challenges players with a series of tests to assess their determination to join the prestigious Heroes' Guild. The guildmaster will present several items that players have to acquire to earn the guild's respect. Each item offers its share of obstacles players must overcome to get it. This experienced-difficulty, medium-length quest demands two players to complete it.
Welcome to another Chicks Gold blog installment, and this time we feature the Heroes' Quest complete walkthrough. If you find this blog useful, we recommend checking out other OSRS-related blogs on our website. To begin with the quest, players must wrap up Lost City, Shield of Arrav, Dragon Slayer I, and Merlin's Crystal quests. Moreover, most items necessary to progress through the quest's story will be available during the quest, such as Fishing Rod and Bait, Ice Gloves, Dusty Key, Pickaxe, and unfinished Harralander potion.
What skills do I really need for Heroes' Quest OSRS?
Heroes' Quest OSRS: Requirements
Players must meet certain level thresholds for Mining (level 50), Cooking (level 53), Fishing (level 53), and Herblore (level 25). Additionally, they must accumulate 55 Quest Points before beginning with the quest.
As mentioned, two players are required to complete the Heroes' Quest, meaning one player will have to take the Black Arm Gang's side and the other Phoenix Gang's. The first, Black Arm player will need the gang's armor set; Black full helm, platebody, and platelegs, while the second player must own either a Magic or Ranged mean of attack.
How to find out which gang I belong to for Heroes' Quest OSRS?
If players are unsure which side they are on, they can check their Shield of Arrav quest log or visit either of the hideouts to see whether they will be accepted or cast away.
Heroes' Quest OSRS: Beginning with the Quest
Starting off, players must locate and talk to Achietties in front of the Heroes' Guild in the Burthorpe region. Achietties will demand three unique items to be obtained so the player can be admitted to the guild. The necessary items are Entrana Firebird Feather, a cooked Lava Eel, and a Master Thieves' Armband. Keep in mind that these must be handed over to Achietties simultaneously, and there is no set order for getting items.
Going after the Entrana Firebird Feather
Players must travel to Entrana and head to the Entranan church to locate the High Priest. He will share that the Firebird lives in the north part of Entrana and its feathers are extremely hot. This is where Ice Gloves come into play.
If Old School RuneScape Heroes' Quest players do not own the Ice Gloves, they must head to White Wolf Mountain and slay the Ice Queen. The queen can be found on the rock slide inside or near the gnome glider outside. Players must have the Pickaxe to open a passage through when entering the rock slide. Players will encounter three ladders, with the southern one taking them to the lair.
Once the tunnel bends, players must go up the first ladder and slay the Ice spiders and Ice giants. From there, they should take the eastern ladder leading downwards and follow the bending tunnel toward two sets of ladders, also leading down. Players will eventually notice a large cave with the boss and many enemies inside.
Standing behind the throne helps evade attacks and deal damage to the Ice Queen, as multiple enemies can attack the player at once, making it challenging to tackle this dungeon alone. It is also recommended to use Stamina and Energy potions.
How to solo Heroes' Quest in OSRS?
Unfortunately, the quest in question is among the few that do not support solo play, unlike its RS3 version.
Cooked Lava Eel is next
To acquire the cooked Lava Eel, players should speak to Gerrant in the fishing shop in Port Sarim, who will give a Blamish Snail Slime to protect the fishing rod from the eels. However, the slime is one of 3 ingredients necessary to make the fishing rod fireproof. Therefore, players should buy Harralander and a water vial from Gerrant and combine them with the Blamish Snail Slime to get Blamish Oil.
Players can either catch eels at the Taverley Dungeon or the Wilderness Lava Maze, but remember that the latter is extremely risky due to PK-ing. If players head to the Taverley Dungeon, we recommend taking the Anti-dragon/Dragonfire Shield and Antifire Potions along with the required items. This Heroes' Quest guide for OSRS will only feature the Taverley Dungeon fishing spot.
Upon reaching Taverley Dungeon, players can enter the pipe if they have 70 Agility and run south. Players should equip their defensive shields before entering because the eel fishing spot is near baby Blue Dragons.
If they cannot use the pipe, they have to circle the dungeon and either use the second Agility shortcut (level 63) or follow the regular path, to reach the gate opened with the Dusty Key. Players who do not have the Dusty Key can follow the regular path South until they reach the Black Knights' Base. Within, they will find Velrak, the explorer who will help them get the key.
A raw Lava Eel can be cooked on a fire or a range with 53 Cooking. We recommend taking Stamina/Energy potions to tackle the dungeon more easily.
Obtaining the Master Thieves' Armband
Moving on to the only part requiring two players; getting hold of the armband. Interestingly, this portion does not have skill requirements, allowing players to help each other and quickly progress the mission. To begin, players have to contact the gang members from the Shield of Arrav quest and have their partner contact the opposing gang.
Can people who have done Heroes' Quest help in OSRS?
Curiously, Jagex decided to incorporate a mechanic that enables players who have completed the quest to replay it again. This means anyone who meets the quest requirements can complete the Heroes' Quest in OSRS as often as they want and offer a helping hand to first-timers.
Black Arm Gang
Players must reach Varrock and gain entry to the Black Arm headquarters to speak to Katrine, who will inform players of a task to attain the master thief rank. The job is to steal candlesticks from pirate Scarface Pete in Brimhaven. Once there, players should look for the alleyway in Palm Street, as that is the hideout of the Black Arm in Brimhaven, and use the code four leafed[sic] clover.
Players have to converse with Trobert, the gang leader in Brimhaven, who shares that Grip, the head guard, has the key to Scarface Pete's treasure room. Luckily, Grip is showing the ropes to a Black Guard deserter who has been robbed of his identification papers by the Black Arm. Next, players have to disguise themselves as the Black Guard and gain entry to Pete's mansion.
How to find Heroes' Quest partner for OSRS?
Since this quest requires two players for its completion, lone wolves might struggle with finding players to team up with. Nonetheless, anyone can find a partner by joining the OSRS Heroes' Quest cc/Shield of Arrav's Grouping Interface chat, 'OSRS SOA', and begin their search there. Also, players can use the official RuneScape thread 'Heroes' & Arrav' and Minigame Group Finder.
By this point, players should wear the Black full helm, platebody, and platelegs. Garv is the guard players must speak to, so they should search for him. Grip will inform the player of their duties and, once the dialogue ends, give you the Miscellaneous key. Regardless of the player's progress, Grip will not allow anyone to enter the treasure room.
Therefore, another player is required. For this part, the OSRS Heroes' Quest Phoenix gang member has to be introduced, so players should leave and trade the key to them. Once back, the goal is to draw attention to the player, so they should enter the northeast room and search the cupboard with Grip's drinks while the Phoenix player enters the room behind the arrowslit.
Once Grip's attention is occupied, the Phoenix player will kill him from hiding. Next, players must pick up the keyring from Grip and enter the treasure room, where two candlesticks can be found. Each player should get one candlestick; Black Arm players should ensure to grab the candlesticks themselves as Katrine may not register players picking them up, otherwise resulting in a restart.
If all goes well, Katrine should grant the player Master Thieves' Armband. If players already have a Miscellaneous key, candlesticks, or Grip's Keyring, they should discard them before attempting the infiltration step to ensure the quest runs smoothly.
What does a Phoenix member do for Heroes' Quest OSRS?
Alternatively, players posing as Phoenix gang members have to speak to Straven, the gang leader in Varrock, and ask about becoming a master thief. He will say that someone is already planning a heist and instruct players to meet the gang member in disguise at The Shrimp and Parrot Inn.
The gang members there will inform players of the blocked secret entrance to the mansion that requires a key. This is where the Miscellaneous key comes into play. Once players obtain the key from their OSRS Heroes' Quest partner, they should enter the mansion through the eastern door and use the key inside on the northern entrance to reach the room with an arrowslit.
Phoenix players should use Ranged or Magic to slay Grip and should always make sure to kill him. Finally, the Black Arm player should trade one of the candlesticks to the player, and they should return to Straven to receive the armband.
Heroes' Quest OSRS: Ending & Rewards
Upon collecting all three items, head back to Achietties and turn them in. Players will receive from 1,325 - 3,075 experience in each of the following twelve skills: Strength, Hitpoints, Attack, Ranged, Fishing, Defence, Smithing, Woodcutting, Cooking, Mining, Firemaking, and Herblore as well as a Quest Point, Heroes' Guild access, access to Fountain of Heroes, and the ability to buy and equip Dragon Battleaxes and Maces, to use Charge Dragonstone Jewellery Scrolls, and to recharge Amulets of Glory at the Fountain of Rune.
What quests require Heroes' Quest in OSRS?
This quest is essential for completing various other quests, including The Fremennik Exiles, Legends' Quest, Throne of Miscellania, Hard Falador Diary, and Recipe for Disaster.

Read postWe’re back once again to discuss the RS3 The First Necromancer quest series! Within this article we’ll discuss the fourth quest in the series, Spirit of War in RS3. If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to check out our previous article on Vessel of the Harbinger. Now, make sure you’re prepared to do some convincing and that you’re ready for an epic battle! The age of chaos is upon us, and heroes like us wait for no one, so without further delay, let’s get into it!
Spirit of War - The Full Breakdown
Let’s begin by doing a deep dive into the new and exciting quest, discussing requirements, recommendations, and the steps to take for success. So, let's begin with the requirements.
Requirements
Quests
- Vessel of the Harbinger
- Necromancy!
- Ghost Ahoy
- The Restless Ghost
- Priest in Peril
You'll also need access to Morytania and 3,000 City of Um vessel souls.
Skills
Fortunately, the only requirement for this quest is having 65 Necromancy.
Items
The only item requirement for partaking in this quest is to ensure you have Necromancy combat gear.
Though we have a few recommendations to guarantee success, a Powerburst of acceleration and some food will be an excellent addition to your inventory when you tackle the quest.
Enemies to Defeat
With this quest, you'll be facing Hermond, the Spirit of War. He is the lieutenant of Rasial and was born of the unending conflict of the God Wars.
Now that we've got the requirements and foe under wraps let's move on to the quest itself!
Starting the RS3 Spirit of War Quest
To kick off this quest, speak with Kharen in the City of Ums' northwest corner. You will find her by her gondola, which you wish her to ferry you on, telling her you're ready to face Rasial in his citadel. However, she will inform you the price of the ride is four Obols. To gain these books, you'll need to speak with Ed in the boat tours shed; head northeast of your current location and find him.
Speak with Ed and rent a rowboat, then use the rowboat to guide wayward souls who are wandering the lake. You can find the four souls needed at the four points of the lake: northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. When you've rescued the souls required, return to one of the docks within the city or teleport.
Provide Kharen with the obols, and ensure you have all of your requirements ready, as once you embark on this journey, a fight will be at the end of the road.
The Battle at the Citadel
When you arrive, Rasial will be waiting for you; he will mock your efforts. Stating you're too late to stop the rising of his army and too early to defeat him all at once.
It's at this point in the RS3 Spirit of War,Rasial suggests you battle his phantom bodyguard to prove your worth. Here is when Hermod comes into play; fortunately, this battle is in story mode, so it should prove too difficult.
After defeating Rasial’s henchman, Rasial himself will state he is impressed by your accomplishment, but he still does not believe you are ready to face him just yet. His suggestion is that you study the work of Duke Orcus, as well as those of the Necrolords of Daemonheim, stating this will increase your strength and encourage your want for knowledge from Death.
As a final parting gift, Rasial informs you he will order Angurvadal not to bother the city for now. After all is said and done, he will teleport out. And that's that! You completed the RS3 Spirit of War quest!
Rewards
- 1 Quest Point
- 45,000 Necromancy XP Lamp
- Hermodic Plate
- 2 Treasure Hunter Keys
You'll also have access to Kharens ferry system and the Hermod, the Spirit of War encounter. Not only that, you'll have the ability to learn further Death Skull and Deathwarden equipment upgrades from Kili.
RS3 Spirit of War Quest FAQ

Read postGetting an Araxxor task in OSRS needs specific requirements and steps.
I will explain the exact process to help you start fighting this challenging boss.
You need level 92 Slayer to get an Araxxor task. This is the main requirement you cannot skip.
Before you spend time grinding Slayer, make sure you have completed the Priest in Peril quest to access Morytania.
To get the task, talk to these Slayer Masters:
- Go to Nieve in the Tree Gnome Stronghold
- Visit Duradel in Shilo Village
- Find Konar quo Maten on Mount Karuulm
Konar gives specific boss tasks, which makes her the best choice if you want to target Araxxor directly. If you need extra gold to prepare for this boss fight, you can buy OSRS gold from trusted sellers like Chicks Gold to get better equipment faster.
The fastest way to reach Araxxor is using the spider cave teleport. Another option is teleporting to the Hallowed Sepulchre and using the wall shortcut. You can also use Drakan's medallion to reach Darkmeyer, then use the bank at Hallowed Sepulchre.
For the actual fight, bring crush weapons and anti-venom potions. Araxxor uses strong venom attacks, so protection against poison damage is essential.
Remember that Araxxor is a Slayer boss. You can only kill him while on a Spider or Araxyte Slayer task.

Read postWelcome back to another exciting Chicks Gold installment! This article will be discussing the new Kili Row quest in RS3. We will cover the requirements, recommendations, and more to see you to a successful outcome. The RS3 Kili Row quest is the first in the “City of Um” quest series, a topic we have discussed in one of our recent walkthroughs. If you’re looking to get informed on the entirety of this quest series, take a look at our guide here.
Meeting Kili, and the knowledge she provides will be a significant step in your journey; giving you access to abilities, the likes of which you’ve never seen! So, let’s take a look into the quest and immerse ourselves in this exciting new adventure!
RS3 Kili Row Quest Requirements
In this section of our guide, we’ll discuss requirements for both items and skills, recommendations, and the enemies you will face. So, without further delay, let’s do just that!
Skill & Quest Requirements
- Necromancy! Quest
- 20 Necromancy (skill level)
Item Requirements
- Two regular ghostly ink
- Seven basic ghostly ink
Enemies to Face
Within this quest, you will face five chickens, though you can opt not to do this. If you choose this route, to complete the quest correctly, you’ll need to damage them with Necromancy when attacking.
Recommendations
If you choose a different path than battling the chickens, we recommend taking 11 additional basic ghostly ink to complete a lesser communion ritual.
If you opt for the battle choice, bring some Necromancer weapons with you to face the foes.
Beginning the RS3 Kili Row Quest
To get this quest underway, you’ll need to first speak with Kili, a spirit of an Imcando dwarf, in the northeast corner of the City of Um. To get there, make your way to Draynor Village and locate the underworld portal; you should be familiar with this, as it was your start point in ‘Necromancy!’. When you arrive, you’ll find Kili standing by a furnace and anvils. She’ll inform you that she can upgrade your Death Skull equipment and Deathwarden robes, but before doing so, her tools must be ensouled in a ritual.
You’ll then be granted the ability to perform the lesser ensouled material ritual, focused on materials such as bars, cloth, etc.
Kili will then provide you with her tools; it’s now up to you to perform the ritual to get your weapons upgraded.
Lesser Ensoul Material Ritual
Ensure you have your required items and your focus object (Kilis tools), and begin your ritual by interacting with the pedestal at the center of the site, selecting the lesser ensoul material ritual. You must then walk to the nearby platform; you may recognize it from completing the “Necromancy!” quest, and begin your ritual.
Once you’ve successfully conducted the ritual, you should be able to retrieve the ensouled versions of Kilis tools from the nearby ritual chest.
Soul Urn
Now, with the ensouled tools in your possession, head back to Kili; she will thank you for performing the ritual but inform you that there’s a missing component for her to upgrade your equipment successfully.
At this point in the RS3 Kili Row quest, you must either complete a second ritual (lesser communion ritual) or slay the five chickens mentioned above. The goal is for you to fill a Soul Urn to upgrade your tools, so let’s discuss how to do just that.
Slaying Chickens
If you choose this path, ensure your urn is in your inventory and make your way to Fred the Farmer’s farm just near Lumbridge. You can locate chickens in almost all places across Gielinor, but you’re guaranteed them here.
Then, using a Necromancy weapon, begin the carnage. If you find the task to be a struggle, you can, in fact, use other methods to help you on the way, but keep in mind that at least 50% of the damage dealt must be done with a Necromantic weapon.
Casting Rituals
If you’d rather go down the non-violent path and perform the lesser communion ritual, then make your way back to the City of Ums ritual site and begin your incantation using the recommended 11 basic ghostly inks.
Completing the RS3 Kili Row Quest
With your urn now filled with the necessary souls, make your way back to Kili. She will now be able to use the urn and previously imbued tools to teach you how to upgrade your equipment at the nearby soul forge. This upgrade will see your Necromancy tools at tier 20.
Now that you have completed the Kili Row quest guide, roughly every ten levels, you can return to Kili and perform further upgrades on your gear.
Rewards for Kili Row in RS3
Now that you’ve come to the end of the road, you’ll be wanting to know your rewards for embarking on the first City of Um series quest! So, we’ve provided them below:
- 1 Quest Point
- Ability to return to Kili for further upgrades
- Ability to upgrade Death Skull equipment and Deathwarden robes (tier 20)
- 2 Treasure Hunter Keys
You’ll also be granted access to lesser, regular, and greater-end oil material rituals.
Kili Row Quest FAQ
With the implementation of the new Necromancy skill and the City of Um, there are still lots of questions left unanswered. So, to help our users with their journey, we have found some of the most frequently asked questions and answered them for you!
Is the RS3 Kili Row Quest Essential for Other Quests/Achievements?
Yes, in order to fully complete The Spirit of War quest, you will need to have completed Kili Row, making this quest an indirect requirement.
Is RS3 Kili Row A Member’s Quest?
Yes, this quest is pay-to-play, so ensure your membership is up to date and ready to embark on the fun!
We have stated this to avoid any confusion for readers, as due to the fact that at the beginning of the Necromancy skilling journey, players of all standing, whether f2p or p2p, can partake in the “Necromancy!” quest and also level the skill to 20 before a bond is necessary.
The End of The Road
This concludes the Kili Row guide! We do not doubt that your questing adventures will be fun-filled, exciting, and, of course, successful! If you have any hiccups along the road, why not turn to Chicks Gold for assistance? We offer accounts, items, currency, and more, ensuring you have all you need to reach max in RS3 right at your fingertips.

Read postYes, you can play OSRS and RS3 at the same time, but there are specific rules you need to know. The main rule is that you cannot use the same character in both games simultaneously. This means you need separate accounts to play both versions together.
I often use two different accounts to play both games.
One account stays in OSRS, where I can buy OSRS gold and level up my skills, while my other account explores RS3. This setup works perfectly and is completely allowed by Jagex.
Here's how to play both games at once:
- Open your first RuneScape account in either OSRS or RS3
- Log in with a different account on the other game version
- Position both game windows on your screen
- Start playing both games
The good news is that you can create as many RuneScape accounts as you want. Each account can access either OSRS or RS3, just not both versions at the same time.
You'll need separate membership subscriptions if you want member benefits on multiple accounts.
Remember that your progress, items, and achievements stay separate between OSRS and RS3. This means starting fresh on each version, but it also gives you two different gaming experiences to enjoy.
December 29, 2024
Read postThe short answer is no - you cannot play Old School RuneScape (OSRS) directly in modern browsers like Chrome or Firefox. These browsers removed Java plugin support, which was needed to run OSRS.
However, I found a solution called webOSRS. This service lets you play OSRS through your browser using cloud technology. You don't need to install anything on your computer.
WebOSRS offers free access to the game, with paid membership options available. The service includes three client options:
- Jagex Launcher
- RuneLite
- Official OSRS client
Before starting your OSRS journey, make sure you have enough in-game currency. You can buy OSRS gold from Chicks Gold to get a head start in the game.
I tested WebOSRS and found it works well on most devices with a good internet connection. The service runs the game on remote servers, so your device only needs to handle the video stream.
For the best gaming experience, I recommend downloading the official OSRS client or RuneLite instead of using browser-based options. These clients provide better performance and more features.
You can download them directly from the official RuneScape website.

Read postNecromancy is the latest and greatest combat skill for Runescape 3, so no more questions like “When is Necromancy coming to RS3?” This member's skill was released on 7 August 2023 and is the first combat skill allowing players to reach level 120. Necromancy is unrelated to the other combat skills, AKA the combat triangle, but training it will raise your overall combat level. Moreover, training Necromancy will still boost your combat level, increasing the max combat level to 152.
To train Necromancy with combat, you must utilize an off-hand conduit and a main hand siphon, both of which are new weapons to the Necromancy skill. As their names imply, the siphon attacks and drains enemies, while the conduit is used to raise the undead, who will then fight alongside you. New abilities are introduced as you progress, unlocking more aspects of this new skill.
What Is RS3 Necromancy and What Makes It Unique?
As Necromancy is the 29th skill that Jagex introduced to RuneScape 3, they’ve made some great additions to keep things fresh. Necromancy also expands the lore and story of Gielnor, particularly in the underworld.
Incantations
Utilizing Necrotic runes, players can now use special incantation spells, which include attack boosts alongside other great features. These spells are entirely linked to the Necromancy skill, with no magic requirement necessary. From level 24 Necromancy, you can use the first spell, which is a teleport to the City of Um. Incantations also have to be unlocked alongside talents tiers, such as the Invoke Death incantation, which requires level 8 Necromancy and the seventh tier of talents to access.
Talent Tree
The talent tree, or talent system, is used to unlock incantations and allows you to upgrade weapons. To unlock talents, you will need talent points, which are received from training Necromancy via combat. However, to unlock new tiers, you will need to complete rituals and complete Necromancy quests.
Rituals
Rituals are a non-combat method needed to obtain new tiers of talent, as well as upgrade weapons and create necrotic runes. Performing rituals are done by completing a series of glyph, light, and object puzzles on the floor of the ritual site in the City of Um.
Combat
As mentioned, Necromancy has a very unique combat style that fully encompasses all that one envisages with Necromancy. Combat involves draining enemies' power and strength alongside using powerful tools to bring foes back from the dead and fight on your team. This is the main focus of the RS3 Necromancy skill and is sure to revitalize many players' RS3 experience.
City of Um
With the announcement of the necromancy release date, RS3 players have been eager to learn about the new locations the skill will bring. The City of Um is the main city and focus of the Necromancy skill and questline. The city is a major location of Gielnors underworld, with many souls making it their home. You will be training the majority of the Necromancy skill in this city, so it’s a good idea to learn all the different locations and features, such as the docks and citadel. You can reach the city by going to the Underworld portal, located north of the Draynor Village lodestone. You can also go directly to the City of Um with the teleport, unlocked at level 24 Necromancy and with the completion of the Rune Mythos quest.
RuneScape Necromancy Requirements
Aside from the aforementioned “Necromancy!” quest, there are no specific requirements to start training Necromancy. The combat is disconnected from the other combat skills, so you don’t need good strength, attack, or defense levels to begin training.
Combat RS3 Necromancy Training Methods
Training Necromancy with combat involves fighting various undead enemies, utilizing your siphon and conduit weapons. Much like other combat skills, as your progress through the levels, different enemies become more viable training options.
Recommended Setup
The siphon weapon, known as the Death Guard, has different tiers starting with tier 10. You should upgrade it as soon as your Necromancy level allows and keep doing so until you max out the skill. It's a similar story for the off-hand Conduit item, where the Skull lantern should be upgraded as soon as possible.
Other items you should use are ones with a focus on attacking undead enemies. The ghost hunter helm and backup give bonuses when attacking undead, and the Salve amulet (e) also gives similar bonuses, with a boost to accuracy as well. The tier 5 Mahjarrat aura is the recommended aura to use due to its damage bonuses. As for armor, hybrid armor is recommended, but when you reach high levels, it is recommended to switch to power armor, in particular ones of the Necronium type. Lastly, any type of God book is ideal for your pocket slot item, such as Armadyl's Book of Law or Zamorak's Book of Chaos.
Getting Started
To begin training Necromancy and gain access to many of its skills, you will need to complete the “Necromancy!” quest. While the Necromancy skill is a Member skill, this first quest can be completed as a free-to-play user. The quest can be started by visiting the underworld portal just north of Draynor Village.
1-99/120 RS3 Necromancy Combat Guide
Levels 1-5: The Necromancy! Quest
Completing this quest will provide you with the basic information needed to start your RS3 Necromancy journey successfully; not only that, it will provide enough XP to carry you straight to level 5!
This tutorial will introduce the mechanics and some new aspects of the skill, such as Glyphs. These will be used as a ritual component, drawing on "Glyph spots" within the City of Um.
Levels 5-15: Talent Tree Second Tier Unlock Rituals
For your second bout of RS3 Necromancy leveling, you'll want to complete the second Talent Tree tier unlock rituals. To do so, you'll need to acquire 50 souls to complete this, meaning you'll have to carry out roughly 13 rituals to reach your goal.
Levels 15-34: Talent Tree Third Tier Unlock Rituals
Once you're at level 15, continue with rituals, aiming for the third-tier unlock. You'll need to accumulate 400 souls overall for this stretch of the leveling journey, though this does include the previous 50 you acquired. As a whole, you should need to conduct around 90 rituals to reach your goal.
Levels 34-50: Slaying Banshee
You can find banshees in the Slayer Tower or a Personal Slayer Dungeon. We'd recommend in the early stages to aim for the latter, as the Slayer Tower will be overrun with eager players.
There aren't many requirements for this set of leveling, but you'll need either a Slayer Helm on the anachronia stand or earmuffs; failure to do so will drain your stats.
Each Banshee slain will offer you 217.5XP, and as they only have a defense of 27, your accuracy should be 100%, providing you use tier 30 weapons. Additionally, these creatures use attack Melee, so your best bet for success is to counter using AoE. You may also want to consider wearing Salve (e) or some Ghost Hunter Equipment, as both can be effective on these creatures.
Levels 50-60: Slaying Ankou
Once you're at level 50, battling Ankou is your best bet for climbing through the next ten levels of your Necromancy in RuneScape adventure. You can find these creatures in either the Stronghold of Security or a Personal Slayer Dungeon, which upon release once again, the latter may be more suitable due to crowding.
For every Ankou you kill, you'll receive 362.5XP, and with a defense of 44, you can achieve 100% accuracy on attacks when using tier 50 and above weaponry, as well as Salve. Again, just like the Banshee, these creatures attack with Melee, so AoE is an easier route to take, and just like their predecessors, Ghost Hunter Equipment and Salve (e) are sure to be beneficial.
Levels 60-63: Greater Rituals (Talent Tree 4th Tier Unlock)
For this short leveling journey, you'll need to accumulate 2,000 souls, which will require you to conduct around 200 rituals using high-tier bones; this will also be when Glyphs come into play. By using the Speed 1 and Multiply 1 Glyph, you can complete your rituals faster and acquire more souls. Making it possible for you to complete as little as 150 rituals to reach level 63.
However, remember that Glyphs will degrade after use. They can be reconstructed, however, which you can do by repairing them with the same amount of materials used to draw them on the Glyph spots.
Levels 63-66: Slaying Shadow Warriors
You can find these foes in the Legends Guild, but we would again recommend considering a POSD due to the inevitable overcrowding that's sure to occur due to this skill's newness. Like the previous creatures you've taken on while leveling RS3 Necromancy, these guys are susceptible to Salve (e) and Ghost hunter equipment, which is sure to be a pattern continuing through this skilling journey.
Each Shadow Warrior you defeat will grant you 390XP and has a defense of 47, so aim for those tier 60 and above weapons to ensure 100% accuracy. Again, just like previous battles, these warriors attack using Melee, so AOE is an excellent choice.
If you're unable to access a POSD and can't access the Legends Guild, continue to slay Ankou at Stronghold of Security.
Levels 66-70: Greater Rituals (Talent Tree 5th Tier Unlock)
At this point in your RS3 Necromancy leveling journey, you'll be feeling the pressure a little more, as to complete this skilling bout and reach level 70, you're going to have to complete an estimated 810 rituals to accumulate the 8,500 souls needed; this is assuming you're using the high tier bones.
You will have unlocked the Glyph Multiply 2 at this stage, allowing even better output when conducting rituals. If you put them to use, you could be fortunate enough to acquire the needed souls in as little as 600 rituals.
Levels 70: Kiln (optional)
When you've reached this stage in your RuneScape Necromancy journey, you'll be eligible to acquire the Kiln cape, which can be augmented to give you the Necromancy Zuk cape; to do so, ensure you have an Igneous stone.
First, you'll need to ensure you have completed the mini-game and acquired the cape. For this to work and provide the cape you desire, take on the Kiln using predominantly Necromancy while ensuring you hybrid using one of the three other attack styles. Then upon receiving your cape, add the Igneous stone to the Necromancy Kiln cape to create a Zuk cape.
As we stated, predominantly use Necromancy for this stage, while either hybriding, tribriding, or going all out and using a combination of all three attack styles now along with the Necromancy, now called "Quadbriding." You'll also want to include some tier 70+ gear to make the battle easier.
If applicable, using DTD (Deathtouch Darts) when hybriding can be highly beneficial, as this counts as Range, and these items are known to kill almost any RS3 monster in one hit. This will be especially effective on harder-to-kill monsters like Jads or Har-Aken.
Below we have compiled a few of the optimal ways to tackle this segment of our RS3 Necromancy training guide:
Hybrid - 37% HP dealt with Necromancy.
- Necromancy: 1-9,11-15,22-24,31-32
- Secondary Style: 10, 16-21, 25-30, 33,37.
Tribrid - 23% HP dealt with Necromancy.
- Necromancy: 1-5, 8, 11-13, 22-23, 31-32.
- Secondary Style: 6-7, 9-10, 14-21.
- Third Style: 24-30, 33-37.
Quadbrid - 17% HP dealt with Necromancy.
- Necromancy: 1-3, 8, 11-13, 22-23, 31.
- Secondary Style: 28-30, 32-37.
- Third Style: 17-21, 24-27.
- Fourth Style: 4-7, 9-10, 14-16.
Levels 70-90: Slaying Bound Skeletons
You'll want to head to the Fortinthty Crypt or use a POSD to find these foes. Though we'd heavily recommend using POSD as the Crypt only seems to have four skeletons, whereas the dungeon presents five, and they spawn faster, making for quicker leveling bouts.
It's worth noting that at this stage of your RS3 Necromancy skilling journey, you will have some unlocked quests that should be done at this stage; doing so will make your journey a lot smoother; further down in our guide you can find a list of the Necromancy quests that you'll find helpful. You'll also want to upgrade your gear to tier 80+ as you progress through this segment, or you'll face a much more difficult battle.
For each Skeleton you slay, you'll be awarded 600 XP, a steady increase from previous endeavors. The Bound Skeletons also have a defense of 65, meaning with tier 70+ weapons, you'll have very high accuracy, but upgrading to 80+ will provide you that extra edge.
Like their predecessors, these monsters attack using Melee, so again, using AOE will make this bout fairly easy. These guys are also susceptible to Salve (e), but Ghost Hunter gear is far less relevant than those who came before them.
90+ Rituals
For this segment of the RS3 Necromancy guide, depending on your XP goals, you may want to take a different approach. The reason for this is you'll only unlock split souls, meaning you won't receive the combat XP you're looking for; they're only good for bossing in all actuality, but if you want the ability, go for it!
This will regicide you to unlock 35,000 souls, which will be quite the grind—giving another reason for some players to bypass this entirely.
90+ ED3 Bridge Run
The new Trash Run in ED3 is the next method we'll be touching on for the level 90+ stretch of our RS3 Necromancy guide. To benefit from this, you'll want to clear the run to the third checkpoint, kill the Leviathan and make your way past him until you reach the checkpoint Temple entrance and locate the chest. From there, make your way to the middle of the room, searching for any valuables as you do so.
This method will inflict its fair share of damage, but it shouldn't be too worrying due to the amount of AOE used in Necromancy. Consider eating some food if needed.
You will notice when in battle, four Necromancers are in the corners of the room; do not kill them. Doing so will only spawn more skeletons and lessen your chances of success. Once you have slain all the skeletons in the temple, teleport out and re-bank if needed, then re-enter the temple and repeat the process of slaying skeletons using the chest to teleport back in.
90+ Risen Ghosts
Like our level 70-90 segment, you'll find Risen Ghosts in the Fort Forinthry Crypt or a POSD. Taking these guys down offers a hefty 1,500 XP per ghost, a hearty improvement from previous gains. With a defense of 70, you'll want to ensure you've got tier 90 weapons and Salve if you want 100% attack accuracy.
It's at this point in our Necromancy in RS3 guide we see a slight turning point for how we will approach the creatures we're slaying. As with the Risen Ghosts, unlike previous monsters we've taken on in our Necromancy journey, they do not attack using Melee, instead using Magic. Instantly changing our usual dynamic on this questing journey as this means AOE is not as effective.
90+ Armored Phantoms (Hard)
You'll want to use POSD for these enemy fights, though before you decide on this method, take heed of the difficulty of this method. These enemies are harder to kill, but the reward will be well worth it if you are determined to do so.
For each Armored Phantom you destroy, you'll be awarded 2,750 XP toward your RuneScape Necromancy adventure, another excellent influx and upgrade from previous methods. Each Phantom has a defense of 87, but with tier 90 weapons, 99 Prayer, and Elder Overload potions, you can achieve 100% accuracy on attacks.
Despite the difficulty of this method, it does take us back to familiarity, as these monsters attack using Melee, meaning AoE is back on the table; and like many of their predecessors, they are susceptible to Salve (e) and Ghost Hunter gear.
90+ Abyssal Savages
The last Skilling bout suggestion for our RS3 Necromancy guide is slaying Abyssal Savages in the Wilderness. This final method is much easier than some 90+ leveling methods, though you'll likely yield less XP per hour.
Each Savage you take down will grant you 750 XP, halving your potential XP gains from options like Armored Phantoms, though the difficulty levels have also dropped significantly. As they are heavily populated in the north of the Wilderness, you also have the potential to take down several at once. This factor alone could see you upping the XP gains once more. With a defense of 75, you'll need tier 90 weapons for 100% accuracy, and since they attack using Melee, AoE is once again a go-to method.
The major difference with this technique is these creatures are susceptible to Demon Slayer and the Wildy DMG buff on puzzle boxes. The unfortunate aspect of this method is that the likelihood of getting a spot where you can gain steady XP is low, as with the hype for this new skill, there's no doubt it's going to get overcrowded very quickly
RS3 Necromancy Tips & Tricks
We recommend taking note of the following tips as they can significantly boost your Necromancy progression and even fill your pockets.
Make Sure Not to Skip Content
RuneScape Necromancy presents players with a series of quests, and by far, the best way to go about them is to follow along and complete them as they pop up. This ensures a smooth progression since players will be able to upgrade gear right before any major developments that require certain gear levels. Additionally, the new talent tree offers amazing upgrades, and it is best to focus on one skill rather than trying to level both at once.
Area tasks are a great way to gain more insight and tips for progressing further; these can be the turning point between staying on track and feeling lost, and the best part is they award buffs to both combat and rituals, so make sure not to skim through them. Moreover, ritual site chests offer decent storage, which can be utilized for more storage.
Gear Presets and Action Bar Binding
To be as efficient with your training as possible, we recommend new players create gear presets to quickly jump in and out of gear depending on their goal; combat or skilling. Furthermore, new players can toggle ‘Action Bar Binding’ in Settings to automatically switch controls based on the equipped gear, in this case, RS3 Necromancy training gear. To effectively use this feature, it is important to customize keybinds beforehand by right-clicking them and choosing binds of preference.
Make Use of XP Boosts
On the other hand, seasoned players will appreciate this next tip which revolves around boosting their leveling capabilities. The best way is to use overload or other stat-boosting potions and equip jewelry or capes offering various combat buffs that ensure faster progression. Furthermore, slaying swarms of monsters with big health bars, like skeletons in the lobby or troll cave spectral trolls, is recommended, as they can quickly fill your experience bars.
Another useful experience tip would be equipping the Wise perk on gear or off-hand, as it grants 1-4% extra XP for every 50k XP. Alternatively, Inspire Awe relic is as well a decent XP booster, granting a 2% XP buff for all Combat skills, Necromancy included. Torstol incense sticks are a good substitute for this as well.
Money Making
Everyone knows Runecrafting is a very lucrative money making skill but a highly tedious one too. With the integration of Necromancy into RuneScape, players will want runes to progress quickly, so a good strategy for racking up some serious coin is to focus on the rituals for essence and then crafting runes to sell to other players. The best part is that the demand for runes will always be present, making this effort a means of investing in the future.
RS3 Necromancy Cape
Once players attain 99 in Necromancy, much like with other skills, they will get the opportunity to purchase the Necromancy cape. This cape and the Necromancy hood can be purchased for 99k GP from the Necromancy master. The cape can be bought for a reduced price of 92k coins with an imbued or regular ring of chaos. While the cape offers an Alternation glyph buff and can temporarily increase the player’s Necromancy level from 99 to 100, the hood does not offer any benefits.
RS3 Necromancy FAQ
What Are the Requirements for Necromancy?
Necromancy in RuneScape has no requirements apart from The First Necromancer quest series, which serves as an introduction to the skill. However, we have some recommendations that can help in your journey. It is essential to upgrade weapons often, meaning when tier upgrades get unlocked, they will require five levels lower Smithing than the tier. So, make sure to have Smithing 15 or higher. Armor upgrades have the exact requirements, so level Crafting to 15 or above. Additionally, having runes helps with training efficiency, so have Runecrafting leveled to craft Spirit, Bone, and Flesh runes. Moreover, having 10+ in Prayer helps with combat and survival, while 11+ in Herblore is very useful for Necromancy and boosting potions’ potency.
Is Necromancy in RS3 a 120 Skill?
Necromancy is the first Combat skill that can be leveled all the way to 120, raising the player’s Combat cap to level 152. Apart from Necromancy, RuneScape so far featured only six skills on which players were able to achieve a skill mastery so high; Archeology, Invention, Herblore, Dungeoneering, Farming, and Slayer, requiring a total of 104,273,167 XP each and 80,618,854 XP for Invention. For reference, level 99 skills require 13,034,431 XP each, while Invention requires 36,073,511 XP to reach skill mastery.
Is RS3 Necromancy an Elite Skill?
Although Necromancy can be leveled to 120, it is not an elite skill, so it has no skill requirements to train it. It also does not have a different experience-to-level ratio, nor does it award the true skill mastery cape on level 120. Only one elite skill in RuneScape exists, Invention, which requires level 80 in Divination, Smithing, and Crafting to start leveling it.

August 8, 2023
Read postRuneScape 3 has had a sudden influx of content, leaving many players at a loss for where to begin! Worry not; Chicks Gold is here to guide you to success. Within this article, we will look at the many achievements The City of Um has to offer; we'll discuss the how’s, when's, and more about these exciting new tasks and accomplishments. And with the help of our comprehensive walkthrough, we're sure you'll feel a sense of ease and find the new content far less overwhelming, so let's get into it!
What Are City of Um RS3 Achievement Diaries?
RS3 achievements, in general, are a set of area tasks. In this case, these areas are within RS3s Underworld City of Um and are broken down into subcategories, those being "Easy City of Um" and "Medium City of Um." There will be varying NPCs you converse with to begin or complete each of the tasks, and you can locate them by locating the green task map icon in your minimap or the world map.
Why Do Players Chase Achievement Diaries in RS3?
There are also rewards granted for completing these tasks, such as XP for various skills, Tome of Um, and others. It's worth noting that the various Tomes of Um you acquire from these tasks must be obtained in sequential order; failing to collect the Tome from easy tasks will also render you unable to get those from medium tasks.
Additionally, in the event you lose a Tome, you can return to the NPC who provided it in the first place to have it replaced. With this in mind, let's begin a breakdown of what will be expected of you to complete the easy City of Um RS3 achievement diary.
RS3 City of Um - Easy Achievements
Of the City of Um RS3 easy achievements, there are 12 you must complete in order to progress, each with a few requirements. So let's first explore these requirements before diving further into the achievements.

- 10 Prayer
- 20 Necromancy
- 15 Crafting/15 Smithing
- The Blood Pact (achievement)
- Necromancy! (Quest)
- Kili Row (achievement)
- Rune Mythos (achievement)
There are no item requirements for this set of tasks. While some of these achievements are available to non-members, some require RuneScape 3 membership, so though that isn't an official requirement, it's probably best to consider it one.
A Prayer For The Dying
All you're required to do in order to complete this achievement is speak with Selene, a resident of the City of Um. Cycle through all dialog twice, and she will teach you a Necromancy prayer; hence the need for 10 Prayer - a simple but worthwhile task.
A View to Die For
To complete this task, you'll need to locate an outstanding viewpoint overlooking the City of Um, ideal for hours of scape gazing.
Your best bet for completing this task is to climb the stairs in the house that sits directly east of Lupe's shop, "Soul Supplies." You'll then want to cross the wooden scaffolding to stand behind the clock face; this should unlock the achievement for you.
And They Called Him Weapon Poison+++
Next, on your City of Um RS3 achievement diary adventure, you'll need to slay a Ghost Troll at the entrance to the cave at Trollgrav using Necromancy. Find and kill either a Ghostly Troll Thrower or a Ghostly Troll Bruiser using Necromancy, and you'll have successfully completed this task.

After finishing the Kili Row quest, you'll need to upgrade a piece of Death Skull or Deathwarden equipment to tier 20.

Read postOSRS can detect auto clickers through their advanced detection system. The game tracks unusual clicking patterns and repetitive actions that don't match normal human behavior.
I have researched extensively about auto clickers in OSRS, and here's what you need to know: Jagex keeps their detection methods secret. This prevents cheaters from creating ways to bypass the system. The game monitors your account activity 24/7 for suspicious patterns.
If you get caught using an auto clicker, Jagex will ban your account permanently. This means you will lose all your progress and items.
You will need to start fresh with a new account, and you might need to buy OSRS gold again to recover your losses.
Many players ask me if there are "safe" auto clickers. The answer is no. Every auto clicker leaves a pattern that OSRS can detect. The game knows the difference between human clicks and automated ones.
The best way to play OSRS is manually. This keeps your account safe and follows the game rules. Manual clicking takes more time, but you won't risk losing your account and progress.
Remember, Jagex improves their detection systems regularly. Even if an auto clicker works today, it might get detected tomorrow. The risk is not worth the convenience.
I recommend focusing on enjoying the game as intended. OSRS is designed for manual play, and that's the safest way to progress in the game.

Read postThe Song of the Elves release date was July 25th, 2019. It is a grandmaster quest and the final installment in the Elf quest series. This immersive and engaging quest, filled with a rich storyline, intricate puzzles, and intense combat, has captivated the hearts of RuneScape players worldwide. Set in the enchanting elven city of Prifddinas, this challenging and rewarding quest provides a satisfying conclusion to the long-running storyline.
Players will uncover many secrets about the elven race, delving into their rich history, culture, and the mystical powers of the elven crystal. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the requirements, walkthrough, and rewards that make Song of the Elves an unforgettable gaming experience. We have a vast range of other related blogs that may help you out on your journey if you are not doing Song of the Elves yet, so be sure to check out our catalog.
The Lore of Song of the Elves OSRS
The Song of the Elves lore delves into the intricate and compelling history of the elven race in Gielinor, a significant aspect of the Old School RuneScape universe. As players embark on this epic quest, they'll uncover hidden truths about the elves, their origins, and the tumultuous events that have shaped their society. The quest's narrative revolves around the fabled city of Prifddinas, the pinnacle of elven civilization and a symbol of their achievements. For centuries, the city has been shrouded in mystery, with players only catching glimpses of its beauty and grandeur through the dense forests of Tirannwn.
The lore of Song of the Elves sheds light on the struggles that have plagued the elven race, such as the schism between the Iorwerth clan, led by the nefarious Lord Iorwerth, and the other elven clans. This divide has been fueled by Lord Iorwerth's insatiable quest for power and control, which has led him to dabble in the forbidden arts of dark magic. Unfortunately, his experiments with the elven crystal, a potent magical artifact intrinsic to the elven way of life, have had disastrous consequences, shattering the crystal and threatening the very existence of Prifddinas itself.
Throughout the quest, players will learn of the deep-rooted connections between the elves and Seren, the goddess they revere. Seren's influence on the elves has been both a blessing and a curse, as her departure from Gielinor led to the fragmentation of the elven crystal and the onset of the dark times that have befallen the elven race. As the Song of the Elves narrative unfolds, players will encounter remnants of Seren's legacy, such as the Light and Dark Crystals, which serve as a testament to the duality of her nature and her impact on the elves.The Song of the Elves lore weaves a rich tapestry of intrigue, conflict, and redemption, offering players a chance to explore the depths of elven history and culture. By journeying through the breathtaking landscapes of Tirannwn and Prifddinas, players will gain a deeper appreciation for the elven race's resilience and ingenuity, as they strive to restore the shattered crystal, reunite the warring factions, and secure a brighter future for the elves of Gielinor.

Read postKnowing how to organize bank in OSRS is essential for smooth gameplay. I'll show you the most effective ways to sort your bank and save time.
Clear out unwanted items first. Visit the Wise Old Man in Draynor Village - he can spot worthless quest items and outdated equipment. This creates more space for important items.
Bank tabs make finding items quick. Create separate tabs for:
- Combat gear and weapons
- Teleport items and runes
- Food and potions
- Skilling supplies
- Farming items
- Quest items
- Valuable loot
Use placeholders for items you frequently withdraw. Right-click an item and select "Placeholder" to keep its spot even when you take it out. This keeps your layout consistent.
Your house can store many items. Build a costume room to keep holiday items and special outfits. If you need extra gold to upgrade your house, you can buy OSRS gold from Chicks Gold to speed up the process.
Combine items when possible. Many items in OSRS can be merged, like herb sacks or gem bags. This saves valuable bank spaces.
Keep tabs organized by value or use frequency. Put your most-used items in the first tab for quick access. Sort remaining items by how often you use them.
These simple steps will transform your messy bank into an organized space. A clean bank means faster banking and more time for playing.

Read postUnderstanding what can autocast demonbane spells helps players optimize their demon-slaying strategies. Three specific staves offer this capability, each with unique advantages for different combat situations.
The Purging Staff is the best option for autocasting demonbane spells. This staff doubles the effectiveness of demonbane spells, making it particularly powerful against demon opponents.
The enhanced bonuses from this staff create significant damage output increases.
The Staff of the Dead provides a valuable alternative with its special attack feature. This staff enables demonbane spell autocasting while offering a defensive bonus through its special attack, reducing melee damage by 50% for sixty seconds.
Players can buy OSRS gold to acquire this staff and improve their demon-fighting capabilities.
The Toxic Staff of the Dead functions similarly to its non-toxic counterpart. It maintains the autocasting ability and defensive special attack while adding a poison element to combat.
For maximum effectiveness against powerful demons like K'ril Tsutsaroth, combine these staves with the Mark of Darkness spell. This combination improves accuracy and damage output significantly.
Players using these staves on greater demon slayer tasks can wear a slayer helmet (i) for additional accuracy bonuses.
The Ward of Arceuus spell complements these staves by reducing incoming damage by 10%. Note that players should avoid using recoil damage items like the ring of recoil or echo boots during certain demon-related achievements, as these items can disqualify progress.
These staves provide essential tools for efficient demon slaying, especially during extended combat sessions requiring consistent spell casting.

Read postAs RuneScape 3 has just dropped the 29th skill Necromancy, it's all the rage right now. So there's no doubt many of our users are already embarking on their dark journey to 120, which is why we're here to provide you the tools to do so with minimal stress and effort! This guide is filled with all you'll need to know to complete the first quest in the Necromancy series and get the wheels turning so your adventure is all smooth sailing. Now let's dive into some of the finer details.
What Is the Necromancy! Quest?
This is the first quest in "The First Necromancer" quest series, acting as the introduction to both the new Necromancy skill and the City of Um, which expands the Underworld of Gielinor. The new Necromancy skill offers users the chance to conjure the undead, conquer the Underworld and perfect your Necromancer abilities; an exceptional new addition to the RS3 world.
This new quest is the first in its series, and brings with it several others; an excellent way to get stuck into the new skill and bring you one step closer to level 120 and a fabulous new skill cape. This is also a free-to-play quest, as non-members have access to the Necromancy RS3 early stages.
Requirements and Foes in Our RS3 Necromancy! Quest Guide
This quest has no official requirements due to the fact it is the beginning stage of the new RS3 Necromancy skill. So you'll be able to begin your journey into the Underworld with minimal effort, and as the quest's official length is short, it won't be too long before you're well into your Necromancer adventure.
The enemies you'll face in this quest are low-level monsters of the Underworld, Ghost Troll Brute (1), and Ghost Troll Lout (1), both sitting at level 3.
Getting Started With the RS3 Necromancy! Quest
To get things started with this quest, you'll need to make your way just north of Draynor's Lodestone and inspect the white light portal, also known as the Underworld Portal. When you do so, a floating sword will appear and attack you; under the command of Rasial, the First Necromancers.
Knocking on Death's Door
This attack will result in your "death," transporting you to Death's Office, where Death himself will greet you, confused by your death. Explain to him how you had briefly begun your investigation before a black metal sword with glowing green runes mercilessly ended your adventure. Death will inform you the runes on the blade translate to "anguish," and he will instruct you to travel to the Underworld with him.
This will invoke a cutscene in which you are told Rasial has selected you as his next apprentice. You will then find yourself at the ritual site of the City of Um, where Rasial will greet you. The meeting isn't a friendly one, however, as Rasial explains his plans to wage war on the living by unleashing the souls he has collected; he states that soon enough, the dead will outnumber the living. He will then go on to taunt you, explaining how your only way to defeat him is to learn Necromancy in RS3 and how Death has no option but to assist you on your journey.
Once he is done with his speech, you will see Lupe and Sostratus appear from the bridge. These are the two remaining survivors since Rasial has drained the Well of Souls. With the help of Death, the two remaining souls conclude that Rasial has conducted a communion ritual utilizing his own soul vessel to move the souls to it. Upon the realization, Death summons Malignius Mortifer, a Necromancer, to be your guide through the early stages of Necromancy. He will show you how to conduct your own ritual to replenish the City of Ums' soul count.
The Communion Ritual
This part of the RS3 Necromancy! quest guide will begin with Malignius telling you to clear the way to the nearby mounds of dust covering the floor. Interact with them. To do so, there are four surrounding the ritual site, which are marked by waypoint arrows.
The First Casting
Malignius will then go on to explain the steps of the ritual, indicating you must place a focus item on the center pedestal; he will provide you with a grubby bone to use as your focus item. Placing the item will determine the ritual you're going to conduct; then, you must draw the required Glyphs to the nearby tiles. Select the pedestal's "Place focus" option; this will allow you to then select the "makeshift communion" ritual.
From this action, you’ll be granted:
- Basic Ritual Candles
- Basic Ghostly Ink
Place the basic ritual candles in the four pentagon symbol tiles around the ritual site. You'll also want to use your ink to fill the Glyphs needed for the ritual. Pay close attention at this stage, as Glyphs can be placed on any of the tiles at the site, but you have to ensure that you use the correct number and type for the selected ritual. So you'll then want to interact with the nearby Glyph spot and draw the "Commune" Glyph, repeating this on a second Glyph spot.
However, before you can continue with the Necromancy quest in RS3, Malignius will point out a depleted Glyph of a previous ritual remains on one of the tiles; this is something you must correct before you continue. He will then offer you more basic ghostly ink to interact with the worn-down Elemental tile and repair it to continue with your current ritual.
With all of these steps correctly carried out, you'll be ready to begin the ritual. Select "start ritual" on the skull platform beside you, and you will begin the chant. Upon completing the ritual, Malignius will express his surprise at your success on your first attempt, and you will be granted some Necromancy XP.
The Well of Souls
The Communal ritual results in Ted, a skeleton from Um, being summoned. He will advise that you interact with the Well of Souls. Doing so opens the interface, which displays the Talent Tree; when it does, select the first talent shown at the bottom titled "Conjure Skeleton Warrior"; you'll then notice that it requires a talent point to unlock.
Ted will then go on to explain that despite filling the vessel enough to gain more power, you must first earn a talent point to be deemed worthy. In order to acquire these points, you must earn combat experience in Necromancy.
Into Battle
At this point of your Necromancy questing journey, Sostratus will give you a Death Guard, an item used to imbue powerful attacks with necrotic power. Equip the Death Guard and begin your attack on the nearby Ghost Troll Brute and Ghost Troll Lout. Keep in mind, however, that until you unlock Necromancy abilities, you will attack using auto-attacks, and all attacks you perform with Necromancy in RS3 have a chance to critically strike an enemy, which can increase damage.
Upon slaying the two low-level creatures, you'll gain a talent point, at which point you should interact with the Well of Souls once more, and you'll then be able to unlock the Conjure Skeleton Warrior talent. In order to use this talent, however, you'll need the following:
- A Conduit
- Ectoplasm
Sostratus will also provide you with a skull lantern for future conjurations. As for the ectoplasm, this can be acquired by performing rituals, though as you embark on an entirely new journey, you will gain 25 once you've finished conversing with the group.
And that's that! You've successfully maneuvered your very first RS3 Necromancy journey. Go forth and conquer the Underworld! Now, let's take a look at those rewards we've all been waiting for!
RS3 Necromancy! Quest Guide Rewards
The rewards from this quest are:
- 1 Quest Point
- 200 Necromancy XP
- Death Guard (tier 10)
- Skull Lantern (tier 10)

Read postMaximizing points in Guardians of the Rift (GOTR) depends on specific strategies and gear setup. I will share proven methods from extensive gameplay experience to help you achieve peak performance.
Your Mining and Runecrafting levels directly affect point gains. Higher Mining lets you gather more fragments before altars open.
The Varrock platebody and charged celestial ring increase fragment collection speed. Using all available essence pouches increases your runs' efficiency.
Portal timing makes an important difference. The RuneLite GOTR plugin shows portal timers - watch for yellow or red indicators.
Focus on altars that give higher-tier cells, with priority on death and blood runes. Red cells give 15 points for both elemental and catalytic energy, with a maximum of 180 total points per game.
Start each game with 10 guardian cells. Place five barriers at the front immediately when the game begins.
Create guardians if the count drops below 10, which adds bonus points and helps prevent game failure. Maintain guardian count by checking the creation spot while crafting at tables.
Combo runes provide a 50% point boost, making elemental points easier to obtain. Keep more elemental than catalytic points for optimal balance.
Disable unwanted talisman drops except for death, blood, nature, and law runes to save inventory space.
For players wanting to speed up their progress, you can buy OSRS gold to get better equipment faster. The right gear setup significantly improves point gains per game.
The lantern drop offers additional point boosts. Stay near portal spawn locations and prioritize higher-tier altars. This method consistently yields 6-10 points per game, with potential for higher scores as your skills improve.
Remember to stock binding necklaces if using combo runes. This strategy maximizes points from how to max points GOTR OSRS while maintaining consistent gameplay flow.

Welcome to another Chicks Gold blog installment, and this time we feature the Heroes' Quest complete walkthrough. If you find this blog useful, we recommend checking out other OSRS-related blogs on our website. To begin with the quest, players must wrap up Lost City, Shield of Arrav, Dragon Slayer I, and Merlin's Crystal quests. Moreover, most items necessary to progress through the quest's story will be available during the quest, such as Fishing Rod and Bait, Ice Gloves, Dusty Key, Pickaxe, and unfinished Harralander potion.
What skills do I really need for Heroes' Quest OSRS?
Heroes' Quest OSRS: Requirements
Players must meet certain level thresholds for Mining (level 50), Cooking (level 53), Fishing (level 53), and Herblore (level 25). Additionally, they must accumulate 55 Quest Points before beginning with the quest.
As mentioned, two players are required to complete the Heroes' Quest, meaning one player will have to take the Black Arm Gang's side and the other Phoenix Gang's. The first, Black Arm player will need the gang's armor set; Black full helm, platebody, and platelegs, while the second player must own either a Magic or Ranged mean of attack.
How to find out which gang I belong to for Heroes' Quest OSRS?
If players are unsure which side they are on, they can check their Shield of Arrav quest log or visit either of the hideouts to see whether they will be accepted or cast away.
Heroes' Quest OSRS: Beginning with the Quest
Starting off, players must locate and talk to Achietties in front of the Heroes' Guild in the Burthorpe region. Achietties will demand three unique items to be obtained so the player can be admitted to the guild. The necessary items are Entrana Firebird Feather, a cooked Lava Eel, and a Master Thieves' Armband. Keep in mind that these must be handed over to Achietties simultaneously, and there is no set order for getting items.
Going after the Entrana Firebird Feather
Players must travel to Entrana and head to the Entranan church to locate the High Priest. He will share that the Firebird lives in the north part of Entrana and its feathers are extremely hot. This is where Ice Gloves come into play.
If Old School RuneScape Heroes' Quest players do not own the Ice Gloves, they must head to White Wolf Mountain and slay the Ice Queen. The queen can be found on the rock slide inside or near the gnome glider outside. Players must have the Pickaxe to open a passage through when entering the rock slide. Players will encounter three ladders, with the southern one taking them to the lair.
Once the tunnel bends, players must go up the first ladder and slay the Ice spiders and Ice giants. From there, they should take the eastern ladder leading downwards and follow the bending tunnel toward two sets of ladders, also leading down. Players will eventually notice a large cave with the boss and many enemies inside.
Standing behind the throne helps evade attacks and deal damage to the Ice Queen, as multiple enemies can attack the player at once, making it challenging to tackle this dungeon alone. It is also recommended to use Stamina and Energy potions.
How to solo Heroes' Quest in OSRS?
Unfortunately, the quest in question is among the few that do not support solo play, unlike its RS3 version.
Cooked Lava Eel is next
To acquire the cooked Lava Eel, players should speak to Gerrant in the fishing shop in Port Sarim, who will give a Blamish Snail Slime to protect the fishing rod from the eels. However, the slime is one of 3 ingredients necessary to make the fishing rod fireproof. Therefore, players should buy Harralander and a water vial from Gerrant and combine them with the Blamish Snail Slime to get Blamish Oil.
Players can either catch eels at the Taverley Dungeon or the Wilderness Lava Maze, but remember that the latter is extremely risky due to PK-ing. If players head to the Taverley Dungeon, we recommend taking the Anti-dragon/Dragonfire Shield and Antifire Potions along with the required items. This Heroes' Quest guide for OSRS will only feature the Taverley Dungeon fishing spot.
Upon reaching Taverley Dungeon, players can enter the pipe if they have 70 Agility and run south. Players should equip their defensive shields before entering because the eel fishing spot is near baby Blue Dragons.
If they cannot use the pipe, they have to circle the dungeon and either use the second Agility shortcut (level 63) or follow the regular path, to reach the gate opened with the Dusty Key. Players who do not have the Dusty Key can follow the regular path South until they reach the Black Knights' Base. Within, they will find Velrak, the explorer who will help them get the key.
A raw Lava Eel can be cooked on a fire or a range with 53 Cooking. We recommend taking Stamina/Energy potions to tackle the dungeon more easily.
Obtaining the Master Thieves' Armband
Moving on to the only part requiring two players; getting hold of the armband. Interestingly, this portion does not have skill requirements, allowing players to help each other and quickly progress the mission. To begin, players have to contact the gang members from the Shield of Arrav quest and have their partner contact the opposing gang.
Can people who have done Heroes' Quest help in OSRS?
Curiously, Jagex decided to incorporate a mechanic that enables players who have completed the quest to replay it again. This means anyone who meets the quest requirements can complete the Heroes' Quest in OSRS as often as they want and offer a helping hand to first-timers.
Black Arm Gang
Players must reach Varrock and gain entry to the Black Arm headquarters to speak to Katrine, who will inform players of a task to attain the master thief rank. The job is to steal candlesticks from pirate Scarface Pete in Brimhaven. Once there, players should look for the alleyway in Palm Street, as that is the hideout of the Black Arm in Brimhaven, and use the code four leafed[sic] clover.
Players have to converse with Trobert, the gang leader in Brimhaven, who shares that Grip, the head guard, has the key to Scarface Pete's treasure room. Luckily, Grip is showing the ropes to a Black Guard deserter who has been robbed of his identification papers by the Black Arm. Next, players have to disguise themselves as the Black Guard and gain entry to Pete's mansion.
How to find Heroes' Quest partner for OSRS?
Since this quest requires two players for its completion, lone wolves might struggle with finding players to team up with. Nonetheless, anyone can find a partner by joining the OSRS Heroes' Quest cc/Shield of Arrav's Grouping Interface chat, 'OSRS SOA', and begin their search there. Also, players can use the official RuneScape thread 'Heroes' & Arrav' and Minigame Group Finder.
By this point, players should wear the Black full helm, platebody, and platelegs. Garv is the guard players must speak to, so they should search for him. Grip will inform the player of their duties and, once the dialogue ends, give you the Miscellaneous key. Regardless of the player's progress, Grip will not allow anyone to enter the treasure room.
Therefore, another player is required. For this part, the OSRS Heroes' Quest Phoenix gang member has to be introduced, so players should leave and trade the key to them. Once back, the goal is to draw attention to the player, so they should enter the northeast room and search the cupboard with Grip's drinks while the Phoenix player enters the room behind the arrowslit.
Once Grip's attention is occupied, the Phoenix player will kill him from hiding. Next, players must pick up the keyring from Grip and enter the treasure room, where two candlesticks can be found. Each player should get one candlestick; Black Arm players should ensure to grab the candlesticks themselves as Katrine may not register players picking them up, otherwise resulting in a restart.
If all goes well, Katrine should grant the player Master Thieves' Armband. If players already have a Miscellaneous key, candlesticks, or Grip's Keyring, they should discard them before attempting the infiltration step to ensure the quest runs smoothly.
What does a Phoenix member do for Heroes' Quest OSRS?
Alternatively, players posing as Phoenix gang members have to speak to Straven, the gang leader in Varrock, and ask about becoming a master thief. He will say that someone is already planning a heist and instruct players to meet the gang member in disguise at The Shrimp and Parrot Inn.
The gang members there will inform players of the blocked secret entrance to the mansion that requires a key. This is where the Miscellaneous key comes into play. Once players obtain the key from their OSRS Heroes' Quest partner, they should enter the mansion through the eastern door and use the key inside on the northern entrance to reach the room with an arrowslit.
Phoenix players should use Ranged or Magic to slay Grip and should always make sure to kill him. Finally, the Black Arm player should trade one of the candlesticks to the player, and they should return to Straven to receive the armband.
Heroes' Quest OSRS: Ending & Rewards
Upon collecting all three items, head back to Achietties and turn them in. Players will receive from 1,325 - 3,075 experience in each of the following twelve skills: Strength, Hitpoints, Attack, Ranged, Fishing, Defence, Smithing, Woodcutting, Cooking, Mining, Firemaking, and Herblore as well as a Quest Point, Heroes' Guild access, access to Fountain of Heroes, and the ability to buy and equip Dragon Battleaxes and Maces, to use Charge Dragonstone Jewellery Scrolls, and to recharge Amulets of Glory at the Fountain of Rune.
What quests require Heroes' Quest in OSRS?
This quest is essential for completing various other quests, including The Fremennik Exiles, Legends' Quest, Throne of Miscellania, Hard Falador Diary, and Recipe for Disaster.

Read postWe’re back once again to discuss the RS3 The First Necromancer quest series! Within this article we’ll discuss the fourth quest in the series, Spirit of War in RS3. If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to check out our previous article on Vessel of the Harbinger. Now, make sure you’re prepared to do some convincing and that you’re ready for an epic battle! The age of chaos is upon us, and heroes like us wait for no one, so without further delay, let’s get into it!
Spirit of War - The Full Breakdown
Let’s begin by doing a deep dive into the new and exciting quest, discussing requirements, recommendations, and the steps to take for success. So, let's begin with the requirements.
Requirements
Quests
- Vessel of the Harbinger
- Necromancy!
- Ghost Ahoy
- The Restless Ghost
- Priest in Peril
You'll also need access to Morytania and 3,000 City of Um vessel souls.
Skills
Fortunately, the only requirement for this quest is having 65 Necromancy.
Items
The only item requirement for partaking in this quest is to ensure you have Necromancy combat gear.
Though we have a few recommendations to guarantee success, a Powerburst of acceleration and some food will be an excellent addition to your inventory when you tackle the quest.
Enemies to Defeat
With this quest, you'll be facing Hermond, the Spirit of War. He is the lieutenant of Rasial and was born of the unending conflict of the God Wars.
Now that we've got the requirements and foe under wraps let's move on to the quest itself!
Starting the RS3 Spirit of War Quest
To kick off this quest, speak with Kharen in the City of Ums' northwest corner. You will find her by her gondola, which you wish her to ferry you on, telling her you're ready to face Rasial in his citadel. However, she will inform you the price of the ride is four Obols. To gain these books, you'll need to speak with Ed in the boat tours shed; head northeast of your current location and find him.
Speak with Ed and rent a rowboat, then use the rowboat to guide wayward souls who are wandering the lake. You can find the four souls needed at the four points of the lake: northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. When you've rescued the souls required, return to one of the docks within the city or teleport.
Provide Kharen with the obols, and ensure you have all of your requirements ready, as once you embark on this journey, a fight will be at the end of the road.
The Battle at the Citadel
When you arrive, Rasial will be waiting for you; he will mock your efforts. Stating you're too late to stop the rising of his army and too early to defeat him all at once.
It's at this point in the RS3 Spirit of War,Rasial suggests you battle his phantom bodyguard to prove your worth. Here is when Hermod comes into play; fortunately, this battle is in story mode, so it should prove too difficult.
After defeating Rasial’s henchman, Rasial himself will state he is impressed by your accomplishment, but he still does not believe you are ready to face him just yet. His suggestion is that you study the work of Duke Orcus, as well as those of the Necrolords of Daemonheim, stating this will increase your strength and encourage your want for knowledge from Death.
As a final parting gift, Rasial informs you he will order Angurvadal not to bother the city for now. After all is said and done, he will teleport out. And that's that! You completed the RS3 Spirit of War quest!
Rewards
- 1 Quest Point
- 45,000 Necromancy XP Lamp
- Hermodic Plate
- 2 Treasure Hunter Keys
You'll also have access to Kharens ferry system and the Hermod, the Spirit of War encounter. Not only that, you'll have the ability to learn further Death Skull and Deathwarden equipment upgrades from Kili.
RS3 Spirit of War Quest FAQ
A running theme within our guides is to ensure we don't leave any stone unturned or question unanswered. For this reason, we have below provided a list of frequently asked questions about this new and exciting quest, so let's get into it!

Read postGetting an Araxxor task in OSRS needs specific requirements and steps.
I will explain the exact process to help you start fighting this challenging boss.
You need level 92 Slayer to get an Araxxor task. This is the main requirement you cannot skip.
Before you spend time grinding Slayer, make sure you have completed the Priest in Peril quest to access Morytania.
To get the task, talk to these Slayer Masters:
- Go to Nieve in the Tree Gnome Stronghold
- Visit Duradel in Shilo Village
- Find Konar quo Maten on Mount Karuulm
Konar gives specific boss tasks, which makes her the best choice if you want to target Araxxor directly. If you need extra gold to prepare for this boss fight, you can buy OSRS gold from trusted sellers like Chicks Gold to get better equipment faster.
The fastest way to reach Araxxor is using the spider cave teleport. Another option is teleporting to the Hallowed Sepulchre and using the wall shortcut. You can also use Drakan's medallion to reach Darkmeyer, then use the bank at Hallowed Sepulchre.
For the actual fight, bring crush weapons and anti-venom potions. Araxxor uses strong venom attacks, so protection against poison damage is essential.
Remember that Araxxor is a Slayer boss. You can only kill him while on a Spider or Araxyte Slayer task.

Read postWelcome back to another exciting Chicks Gold installment! This article will be discussing the new Kili Row quest in RS3. We will cover the requirements, recommendations, and more to see you to a successful outcome. The RS3 Kili Row quest is the first in the “City of Um” quest series, a topic we have discussed in one of our recent walkthroughs. If you’re looking to get informed on the entirety of this quest series, take a look at our guide here.
Meeting Kili, and the knowledge she provides will be a significant step in your journey; giving you access to abilities, the likes of which you’ve never seen! So, let’s take a look into the quest and immerse ourselves in this exciting new adventure!
RS3 Kili Row Quest Requirements
In this section of our guide, we’ll discuss requirements for both items and skills, recommendations, and the enemies you will face. So, without further delay, let’s do just that!
Skill & Quest Requirements
- Necromancy! Quest
- 20 Necromancy (skill level)
Item Requirements
- Two regular ghostly ink
- Seven basic ghostly ink
Enemies to Face
Within this quest, you will face five chickens, though you can opt not to do this. If you choose this route, to complete the quest correctly, you’ll need to damage them with Necromancy when attacking.
Recommendations
If you choose a different path than battling the chickens, we recommend taking 11 additional basic ghostly ink to complete a lesser communion ritual.
If you opt for the battle choice, bring some Necromancer weapons with you to face the foes.
Beginning the RS3 Kili Row Quest
To get this quest underway, you’ll need to first speak with Kili, a spirit of an Imcando dwarf, in the northeast corner of the City of Um. To get there, make your way to Draynor Village and locate the underworld portal; you should be familiar with this, as it was your start point in ‘Necromancy!’. When you arrive, you’ll find Kili standing by a furnace and anvils. She’ll inform you that she can upgrade your Death Skull equipment and Deathwarden robes, but before doing so, her tools must be ensouled in a ritual.
You’ll then be granted the ability to perform the lesser ensouled material ritual, focused on materials such as bars, cloth, etc.
Kili will then provide you with her tools; it’s now up to you to perform the ritual to get your weapons upgraded.
Lesser Ensoul Material Ritual
Ensure you have your required items and your focus object (Kilis tools), and begin your ritual by interacting with the pedestal at the center of the site, selecting the lesser ensoul material ritual. You must then walk to the nearby platform; you may recognize it from completing the “Necromancy!” quest, and begin your ritual.
Once you’ve successfully conducted the ritual, you should be able to retrieve the ensouled versions of Kilis tools from the nearby ritual chest.
Soul Urn
Now, with the ensouled tools in your possession, head back to Kili; she will thank you for performing the ritual but inform you that there’s a missing component for her to upgrade your equipment successfully.
At this point in the RS3 Kili Row quest, you must either complete a second ritual (lesser communion ritual) or slay the five chickens mentioned above. The goal is for you to fill a Soul Urn to upgrade your tools, so let’s discuss how to do just that.
Slaying Chickens
If you choose this path, ensure your urn is in your inventory and make your way to Fred the Farmer’s farm just near Lumbridge. You can locate chickens in almost all places across Gielinor, but you’re guaranteed them here.
Then, using a Necromancy weapon, begin the carnage. If you find the task to be a struggle, you can, in fact, use other methods to help you on the way, but keep in mind that at least 50% of the damage dealt must be done with a Necromantic weapon.
Casting Rituals
If you’d rather go down the non-violent path and perform the lesser communion ritual, then make your way back to the City of Ums ritual site and begin your incantation using the recommended 11 basic ghostly inks.
Completing the RS3 Kili Row Quest
With your urn now filled with the necessary souls, make your way back to Kili. She will now be able to use the urn and previously imbued tools to teach you how to upgrade your equipment at the nearby soul forge. This upgrade will see your Necromancy tools at tier 20.
Now that you have completed the Kili Row quest guide, roughly every ten levels, you can return to Kili and perform further upgrades on your gear.
Rewards for Kili Row in RS3
Now that you’ve come to the end of the road, you’ll be wanting to know your rewards for embarking on the first City of Um series quest! So, we’ve provided them below:
- 1 Quest Point
- Ability to return to Kili for further upgrades
- Ability to upgrade Death Skull equipment and Deathwarden robes (tier 20)
- 2 Treasure Hunter Keys
You’ll also be granted access to lesser, regular, and greater-end oil material rituals.
Kili Row Quest FAQ
With the implementation of the new Necromancy skill and the City of Um, there are still lots of questions left unanswered. So, to help our users with their journey, we have found some of the most frequently asked questions and answered them for you!
Is the RS3 Kili Row Quest Essential for Other Quests/Achievements?
Yes, in order to fully complete The Spirit of War quest, you will need to have completed Kili Row, making this quest an indirect requirement.
Is RS3 Kili Row A Member’s Quest?
Yes, this quest is pay-to-play, so ensure your membership is up to date and ready to embark on the fun!
We have stated this to avoid any confusion for readers, as due to the fact that at the beginning of the Necromancy skilling journey, players of all standing, whether f2p or p2p, can partake in the “Necromancy!” quest and also level the skill to 20 before a bond is necessary.
The End of The Road
This concludes the Kili Row guide! We do not doubt that your questing adventures will be fun-filled, exciting, and, of course, successful! If you have any hiccups along the road, why not turn to Chicks Gold for assistance? We offer accounts, items, currency, and more, ensuring you have all you need to reach max in RS3 right at your fingertips.

Read postYes, you can play OSRS and RS3 at the same time, but there are specific rules you need to know. The main rule is that you cannot use the same character in both games simultaneously. This means you need separate accounts to play both versions together.
I often use two different accounts to play both games.
One account stays in OSRS, where I can buy OSRS gold and level up my skills, while my other account explores RS3. This setup works perfectly and is completely allowed by Jagex.
Here's how to play both games at once:
- Open your first RuneScape account in either OSRS or RS3
- Log in with a different account on the other game version
- Position both game windows on your screen
- Start playing both games
The good news is that you can create as many RuneScape accounts as you want. Each account can access either OSRS or RS3, just not both versions at the same time.
You'll need separate membership subscriptions if you want member benefits on multiple accounts.
Remember that your progress, items, and achievements stay separate between OSRS and RS3. This means starting fresh on each version, but it also gives you two different gaming experiences to enjoy.

Read postThe short answer is no - you cannot play Old School RuneScape (OSRS) directly in modern browsers like Chrome or Firefox. These browsers removed Java plugin support, which was needed to run OSRS.
However, I found a solution called webOSRS. This service lets you play OSRS through your browser using cloud technology. You don't need to install anything on your computer.
WebOSRS offers free access to the game, with paid membership options available. The service includes three client options:
- Jagex Launcher
- RuneLite
- Official OSRS client
Before starting your OSRS journey, make sure you have enough in-game currency. You can buy OSRS gold from Chicks Gold to get a head start in the game.
I tested WebOSRS and found it works well on most devices with a good internet connection. The service runs the game on remote servers, so your device only needs to handle the video stream.
For the best gaming experience, I recommend downloading the official OSRS client or RuneLite instead of using browser-based options. These clients provide better performance and more features.
You can download them directly from the official RuneScape website.
