RS3 Necromancy Calculator

Every Necromancy action we have data for, with the level it needs, the XP it gives, how many you need for your goal and the full material list. Each material says where an Ironman gets it, so you can tell what you can actually do today.

Updated 9 October 2026. Action and recipe data from the RuneScape Wiki (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0), fetched 2026-10-09. XP is the base value before boosts.

Combat XP depends on the damage you deal, so only rituals, glyphs and other crafted items are listed.

Frequently asked

How many actions do I need to reach my Necromancy goal?

Enter your current and target level or XP. Every row in the table divides the XP you still need by that action's XP (after your boosts) and rounds up. Load your RSN to fill in your current XP from the hiscores.

Why does the table show where materials come from?

Ironmen cannot buy from the Grand Exchange, so the useful question is not what a material costs but where you can get it yourself: a shop, a monster drop, or another skill. Each material shows the easiest source we know of, and turns amber when the skill route needs a level you do not have yet.

Which XP boosts are included?

Only always-on boosts with a single fixed number: the skilling outfit for the skill (full set) and a few tools and rings. Bonus XP, Double XP and the clan avatar are not modelled; Ironmen cannot use the clan avatar boost anyway. Use "Other boost %" for anything else.
