Given the changes to Varlamore: The Final Dawn rewards that Jagex proposed yesterday, you likely want to start collecting the items you need to craft the new goodies as soon as they drop. Chief among these is the Occult Necklace, which you will need to craft the Eldritch Necklace if the proposed changes pass in the poll.

In this guide, we’re going to detail everything you need to know about the OSRS Occult Necklace. Crucially, we’ll teach you how to get it, the stats you need to equip it, and the boosts you will get for doing so.

How to Get the Occult Necklace

The Occult Necklace has a chance to drop from the following monsters:

  • Smoke Devil
  • Nuclear Smoke Devil
  • Thermonuclear Smoke Devil

You can find both of these monsters within the Smoke Devil Dungeon, and you will need a minimum of 93 Slayer level, as well as the Slayer helmet or a Facemask equipped to kill them. So it’s a pretty high level set.

What Stats Do I Need to Equip the Occult Necklace?

You only need to fulfil a single stat requirement to equip the Occult Necklace: Level 70 in Magic.

Occult Necklace Cosmetic Enhancement

To cosmetically alter the Occult Necklace, turning it into the ‘Occult Necklace (or)’, you can attach the ‘Occult Ornament Kit’.

You can get this kit from ‘Master Clue Scrolls’. It doesn’t change the stats, but it will make it look a lot fancier.

Occult Necklace Stat Bonuses

The Occult Necklace is currently considered the best in slot (BiS) for Magic damage users, thanks to its 5% Magic Damage boost and accuracy bonus.
