Level 1-5: At the start of your leveling journey, complete the Necromancy! quest. This will not only provide a better grasp on the mechanics of this combat skill but also give you enough XP to reach Level 5. It will also provide you with knowledge regarding the lore.

Level 5-26: As soon as you reach Level 5, you will unlock a ritual called the Lesser communion. The ritual area in Runescape is located in the City of Um within the Underworld. You will get a tutorial on the ritual once you're in the ritual area, which will explain everything you will need to complete the ritual.

Completing the rituals will give you heaps of Necromancy XP. You must complete more rituals and add souls to your Well of Souls to unlock Talents, ultimately giving you more combat abilities. Do rituals until you reach Level 26.

You will also face disturbances while doing rituals; you can gain experience through them. The experience gained through disturbances scales up with the Necromancy level.

Level 26-27: This is the point where you will start doing Runescape Quests. As soon as you reach Level 26, start the Kili Row quest in the City of Um. Completing this Quest can be challenging but doable. Then, complete the Rune Mythos quest, the first Quest in the The First Necromancer quest series. Completing these Quests can help you reach Level 27 easily.

Level 27-90: These levels are where you must do the most grinding. Leveling from 27 to 90 requires you to do many ensouls, communion rituals, and clear disturbances; this will help you gather souls and experience. Also, go to the catacombs to fight creatures and collect their souls. Upgrade your Necromancy equipment to enhance your exp gain.

This part of the Necromancy leveling guide revolves around fighting Banshees and Ankou, as they can yield much XP. Each Banshee you slay can give you around 215 XP, while each Ankou can give you around 360 XP.

Do many greater rituals to acquire more souls and become stronger.

Level 90-120: The main form of XP in these levels will be disturbances during the rituals. Getting a Tome of Um 2 can increase the experience gained through disturbances by 6%. Soul attraction is the primary factor that affects the types of ritual disturbances you get; the higher the attraction value, the better the disturbances. To increase soul attraction, fill all empty glyph slots with alteration glyphs.
