You can raise your evocation skill by casting on your own pet, you will be thankful at later levels for not constantly fizzling. If you enjoy this play style I recommend the dungeonsmentioned below. Usually it only makes sense to hunt this way the first few levels after you received a new version of the spell though:
Level 8 10: Paineel, heretic Pet, Skeletons Level 9 12: Chess Board, awesome experience Level 12 30: Unrest, Courtyard, Inside the house and basement at later Levels Level 17 22: Lake of Ill Omen, Lesser and normal Icebone Skeletons (roaming, only
a few of them, not recommended) Level 20 26: Rathe Mountain, Giant Skeletons
Level 25 30: Mistmoore, inside the Castle Level 30 33: Lake of Ill Omen, Greater Icebone Skeletons (roaming, only a few of
them, not recommended) Level 31 36: Spectres in Oasis grouped, later on solo
Level 34 36: Kithicor Forest, at night Level 34 49: Lower Guk, Death Side
Level 39 44: Ocean of Tears, Spectre Island (-7000, -1000) Level 49 55: Karnor Castle, Skeleton Captain and Verix Level 56 – 60: Howling Stones Level 57 60: Katta Castellum (unconfirmed)
This is no powerleveling method for sure, but a very fun way to play your class and a change from the usual killing routine.
Another possible way is to hunt plants Necros got plant only spells as well. At level 29 it starts with Defoliate (100mana, 198 210 damage !) and at 52 we get the super effective botanic nuke Defoliation (250 mana, 725 damage Wizards go home !). Lots of plants can be found in Trakanon Teeth, Emerald Jungle and Wakening Lands. This is probably the most unused Necro strategy at all, but the ratio is even BETTER than WIZARD nukes at the level where you get them, so give them a try
In the first four levels after receiving a new spell (plant or undead only) we can keep up with Wizards and sometimes even outdamage through the larger mana pool. This of course only works in the specific locations mentioned above.
10.4 Dragons
10.4.1 Killing Dragons together with a Partner
Starting at level 60 necromancers are able to kill dragons in Western Wastes at first together with a partner and later on even solo. The best target choices when getting here are:
Yeldema Yal Vraptin Vitaela Uiliak Onava Makala Gangel
How does it work? Those mobs are real named dragons, with most of them having just as real area spells. Actually it is rather simple: fear kite. The problem: extremly high magic resists. This is where your partner comes in:
Possible Allies: lvl 60
Shaman lvl 60 Bard lvl 60 Enchanter
Shaman: probably the best choice because of Malo, Malosini and Slow Bard: Occlousion of Sound, able to debuff magic resistance with a Tash Orb. However it is a little difficult to keep the bard alive if fear wears off (remember the Essence Emeralds though
?). The awesome pull abilities of Bards (compared to the other classes) are their biggest bonus Enchanter: Tash and slow are the pros for an Enchanter. Your pet will enjoy having rune and speed casted on it IMPORTANT: Except for Yeldema all dragons have got a more or less effective area damage spell. Keep the vampire dots up at all times and watch out for the hitpoints of your partner a shaman can care for herself though.
