In this guide, we'll be diving into the 10 best creatures to train Necromancy in RuneScape 3. With the introduction of Necromancy, combat XP gains are undergoing significant changes across all combat styles. This means that training combat will be quite different. We will analyse the changes to creature stats and combat XP, and we will compile a list of creatures that we believe are optimal for training Necromancy. Most of these creatures are Undead, and that's because of the powerful Salve Amulet.
