* The skill is learned by going into the [[Serbule Crypt]], defeating [[Khyrulek's True Form]] and delivering [[Symbols of Darkness|an item ]] from the boss's drops to the [[Pulsing Crystal]]. When you do this, you will be given a "Necromancy Test Staff" and a "Necromancy Test Necklace". Both have necromancy gems in them, so you can choose one to equip and start using Necromancy. * [[Sir Arif]] teaches '''Free Summon Skeletal Archer''' 1-3 * [[Jumjab]] teaches '''Create Super Zombie''' 1-3, '''Heart's Power''' 1-2, '''Wave of Darkness''' 1-4 (pending confirmation)5* [[Daniel Murderdark]] will unlock Necromancy 51-60, unlock 61-70, and teach level 51+ abilities* [[Bogaku]] can teach you the secrets of raising Ratkin Skeleton Mages* [[Bendith the Banished]] can unlock 71-80.* Levels 81-90 are unlocked by [[Reinath]] deep beneath [[Povus]].

Necromancy is a very diverse skill. It has mods that support many skill combos. Necro pets can help cover the issues that specialising in one damage type can cause as well. Here are some skills that combo well: * None[[Battle Chemistry]] is an interesting choice. Both have indirect fire mods. You can also apply mutations to your pets. Giving a zombie thick skin can almost completely negate the passive bleed. Very diverse damage type access.*[[Fire Magic]] works quite well. Both skills have indirect fire mods. Deaths hold can be modded to apply a burn DOT as well. Your pets can lean into fire damage even more or can diversify your damage types*[[Mentalism]] makes a very effective electric DPS if you have [[Fairy Magic]]. Deaths Hold and Spark of death can both be modded to apply electric vulns. Also has psychic DOT mod Synergy as well*[[Spirit Fox]]. Dark Damage specialist. Both have access to Darkness vulns. Also has a litte indirect fire synergy. *[[Sword]] can make an effective slashing DPS. Deaths hold has a slashing vuln and Skeleton warriors can push more slashing damage. *[[Vampirism]] can be used to lean hard into Dark Damage. Both skills have access to darkness vulns. Very capable solo as well due to the CC and pets combo.*[[Warden]] can work in a similar fashion to mentalism. Both skills have access to electric vulns. Indirect fire is another theme that both skills share. Could work well with fire or Ratkin mages. Coordinated Assault mods work?*[[Weather Witching]] is a fantastic option. Hybrid Electric/Dark specialisation. Doomstorms count as undead minions and can benefit from all of the necro pet skills. Both can apply electric vulns. Best with Ratkin mages.
