| ~ Official Description |
Necromancer is a class available to the Dark Myr, Gnome, Human, Ogre and Skar[1] races. Their primary role is Support. They are also capable damage dealers.
Description[]
Shunned by most societies for their dark practices, Necromancers wield a power both reviled and feared. Consumed by an ever-descending plunge into Necromancy’s forbidden magic, they are able to summon and command powerful Undead minions in combat. Their mastery over the essence of Undeath allows them to charm Undead creatures and even assume skeletal forms themselves. Through siphoning magic, they can drain the life force of their enemies to replenish their own, and their arsenal of powerful curses and vile maladies wreak havoc on those who oppose them.

Pet[]
Last Update: 11/5/24
Necromancers are able to summon a servant in the form of a skeleton from level 1. The pet does not level with the Necromancer, instead the spell used to summon the pet has a level range. The pet's level is determined when it is summoned, changing each time it is summoned.
The Necromancer's pet can be equipped with standard items, ignoring class restrictions but abiding by level requirements, if any. However, the item has to be an eligible drop - what this means is you cannot equip pets with crafted items that do not drop from NPCS. But if a crafted item is the same as a dropped item, they will equip it. It is unknown if this is the intended functionality.
The pet is capable of dual wielding. You can equip and un-equip items from your pet at will, so long as you and the pet are not in combat.
The pet will not lose equipped items when killed, and if the Necromancer releases before the pet dies, it will appear next to the Necromancer
