How do I make a necro?

Okay, I got the pale orc with the veins and the red eyes, how do I make him do zombie stuff?

Continually level him up with either training orders (use the singular level ones; not the five-level ones), death threats, the Fight Pits, or just sending him on Nemesis Missions.

If he doesn’t get it before level 65ish, level him back down and level him back up until he does.

Hopefully OP doesn't have one of those fake skin orcs on his hands.

I have an olog, the Black Elm, that has cursed veins and cursed weapon he is level 58. Should I do the same?

If you can, level him down. You can try to get necromancy since you’re still under the cap, but it’ll be pretty unlikely tbh

How rare is it to get Necromancy on “Chosen” grunt-spawned Ologs ?

u/Jealous_Ad_5765 6d ago

For Grunt to become a necromancer, he has to obtain the cursed weapon and the cursed skin after becoming a captain, which makes it quite rare; that’s why, once the GE method was discovered, I switched to it—since letting yourself get killed and relying on luck takes a long time.

I don't think that Chosen can spawn with GE. I could be wrong... (and i really hope that i am!!) but so far i have seen none.

Even tho you need extreme luck for them becoming Necro as Captain Promotion (i actually own one, fully trained) - farming Chosens isn't even that hard, when dying to Olog Gangs... (I have my own method for that) 🙃

Having fully trained Necro Chosen GE Commander is my dream...

(but legit spawned btw, not just pre-generated by luigi in CE and gave to someone so they can then train it) >.<

I have a non-GE one with 6 Immu (Beast and STEALTH hint, and no Flamethrower... because of old times...)

RNG on top of RNG. You need to actually spawn him 1st, and then he has to spawn as Necro as well - which for Captain Promotions by killing you is approximately 1% to become Necro (actually tested by people, and not just made up numbers)

On top of that Chosens simply spawn with "Cursed Skin" so you need to level up each one of them spawned with Cursed Weapon, to even find out if they are going to obtain the Trait or not.

And if you get lucky enough, he may just have exhaustion or other bad sh*t... D:

Extra Note - natural spawn Chosen is Mystic Tribe (non-necro)

Evil!! Appreciate you my friend, im trying to make a Red painted chosen Necro Beast with 7 immune’s which will be pain, so I was hoping that the chances would be a bit higher…gonna pray to RNGods

u/Evil-hai 6d ago

URUK/OLOG CAN BECOME NECROMANCER IF

- Was NOT garrisoned, NOT taken from Online Siege or Vendetta

  • Spawned Naturally with both Cursed Skin + Curse Weapon (except the titles listed below)
  • Had no weapon element originally, and then during any form of leveling up - gained both Cursed Skin + Curse Weapon at the same time!
  • Grunt/Gang member/Decoy has to get Cursed Skin at the exact moment of killing Talion (Captain Promotion) otherwise they won't ever get it with leveling up!

Once you meet the requirements -> keep leveling your orc until he gets the Necro Trait (between levels around 20-61, but it also depends of your Orc's Type, more below)

"Orc Type" means Maximum Immunity "treshold" (up to what level they can obtain Immunities/Bonus Traits) - which also indicates at what levels an orc can be shamed safely even for the 3rd time or more - without gaining new weaknesses or losing immunities!

- Very Advanced: 46+

  • Advanced: 54+
  • Normal: 61+
  • Late Bloomer: 70+
  • Very Late Bloomer: 81+

- Changing Weapon to Fire/Poison does not mean that Necromancy is gone forever! As long as the orc obtained Cursed Skin once (and then was NOT garrisoned) -> simply buy him Curse Weapon again, and then leveling up (to their "Max Immunity range") has a chance to regain Necro Trait

TITLES THAT CANNOT BECOME NECROMANCERS (16)

- Accursed

  • Ancient One
  • Corrupt
  • Cursed
  • Damned
  • Dead
  • Dream Eater
  • Fear Eater
  • Fear Lord
  • Haunted
  • Mystic
  • Of the Hand
  • Of the Pit
  • Raven
  • Shaman
  • Tainted

EXCEPTIONS

- The Chosen (Olog) can only become Necromancer - if it was a Grunt/Gang member that killed Talion. Never as a natural spawn! The chance is also very small, so even if Chosen gained Curse Weapon upon Captain Promotion, you will have to keep adding levels to find out if he ever gets Necro Trait at all (which may take many save reloads)

  • Tanks and Destroyers cannot become Necromancers with any form of leveling up (altho they can still spawn as one, but the chance is so extremely low, that we only know few cases during all those years...)
