Why start as a Necromancer

Necromancer is a strong class for early game that has a skillset allowing you to farm zeny and gear without much of a problem. It is now nearly as tanky as spearman classes, but their sustain and meat shield (Zombies) give you plenty of survivability. Addin to that the fact that their best gear are buyable (you need to slot them afterward) makes it an excellent class to start with on Einherjar.

Starting as a Novice

As any other job, you will start in front of Sprakki and you will follow the main questline to get some levels and gears. Then, when you will go to the Novice Training Ground, you will find several Class Masters, but not the one for Necromancer. Do worry, this is perfectly normal.

Since you are starting on Einherjar, I strongly suggest you to do all the quests from the different masters. This will give you Class Boxes that can be sold for 2.500z each, a nice way to get some money upfront.

You can also borrow Manuals from the trainers to get some skills from their respective classes. As a futur Necromancer, there is a little trick that is extremely important to know. Get the Adept and Spiriter manuals !

At the moment, it is possible to have two manuals of the custom classes at the same time. If, at some point, this is no longer an option, chose the Adept without hesitation, you'll understand later.

As a futur magic class, pump every point you've got into INT until you reach 90+

Once you have finished all the quests of all the classes, it's time to go into the wonderful world of Runemidgard. However, since you don't have a class master, you have to choose where to go.

Here is a fundamental tips: Ask the Archer Master to become an Archer ! This will bring you to payon, near the Necromancer job quest.

Arriving at Payon

You will arrive in the Archer Guild Union, step out of the building and go to the north of the map (see screenshot)

Then, you can sell pretty much everything except the skills manual, Novice Butterfly Wings, Novice Fly Wings, Novice Potions.

Before taking the Necromancer test, you will need to get 20 Skel Bones and 2 Cursed Ruby. Don't worry about the Cursed Ruby, the drop rate is increased on the server. However, the Skel Bones might be a bit tricky to get.

Go into Payon Cave and start hunting zombies first (they are slower and give more exp)until you have your 2 Cursed Ruby. Once you have those, kill the Skeletons until you have 20 skel bones. (FYI, it took me 155 skeletons and 5 zombies to get everything, so be patient).

It's now time to become a Necromancer.

Job Change

(this part of the guide is taken from the Necromancer page, you can find it here) Step #1: As a Novice Job level 10 make your way to Old Payon District. You can go there by going right from Payon or by using Kafra's teleport from Payon.

Step #2: When in there you must go to the building left(west) from the main palace. While inside, take the portal to the south.

Step #3: Before advancing, make sure you have 2 Cursed Rubies and 20 Skel-Bones. You can get those from Payon Dungeon. Curseed Rubies can be bought from the Niflheim Tool Dealer next to the Warp Gate for 2,000 zeny. Talk to the man, and pick Job Change.

Step #4: Talk to the Pile of Bones, and pick the first option to assemble the bones to the pile. Then, talk to the corpse and use the Cursed Ruby on it. Then, talk to the Pile of Bones again. You'll have risen a Zombie and a Skeleton.

Step #5: Talk to the man again to finish the quest.

Congratulations on becoming a Necromancer!
