Necklaces in OSRS come in a wide array of types, offering everything from purely aesthetic appeal to highly useful teleport options and significant stat boosts. Some of the top-tier necklaces in Old School RuneScape combine multiple benefits, including aesthetics, utility, and impressive stats.

The variety of necklaces in OSRS can make it challenging to compare their effectiveness. This guide aims to showcase some of the top necklaces in the game, emphasizing their stats and utilities.

Dragonbone Necklace

First up is the Dragonbone Necklace, notable for its mix of stat boosts and utility, though it lacks teleport capabilities.

The Dragonbone Necklace boasts the highest Prayer bonus of any single item in the game, with an added benefit of restoring Prayer points when bones are buried. The amount of Prayer points restored varies: regular bones restore 1 point, big bones 2 points, baby dragon and wyrm bones 3 points, and dagannoth, dragon, drake, hydra, and wyvern bones 4 points each. Superior dragon bones restore 5 points.

This feature is particularly useful for prolonging trips to certain bosses or enemies. The Prayer restoration effect works in conjunction with the bonecrusher, which can be combined with the Dragonbone Necklace using a hydra tail. This combination does not require any additional stats but does require 70 Prayer to equip.

The Dragonbone Necklace is a rare drop (1/1000) from Vorkath, accessible after completing the 'Dragon Slayer II' quest, which requires 200 Quest Points to start.

Occult Necklace

Next is the Occult Necklace, unique for its 10% Magic damage bonus. While this might seem modest, it's more than the combined bonus of all three pieces of Ancestral gear, making it the best mage necklace in the game. The Occult Necklace’s bonus stacks with other items like the imbued Slayer Helm and the Staff of the Dead.

Requiring 70 Magic to equip, the Occult Necklace drops from smoke devils (1/512), nuclear smoke devils (3/512), and the Thermonuclear Smoke Devil boss (1/350). These enemies necessitate 93 Slayer and a task assignment.

Necklace of Anguish

The Necklace of Anguish offers pure stat boosts, providing +15 to Ranged and +5 to Ranged strength, making it the top range necklace in OSRS. It requires 75 Hitpoints to equip and can be created by casting Lvl-7 Enchant on a zenyte necklace. Crafting the zenyte necklace requires 92 Crafting, using a zenyte, gold bar, and necklace mould. Zenyte shards are dropped by Demonic Gorillas after completing 'Monkey Madness II' at a rate of 1 in 300.

Amulet of Glory

The Amulet of Glory is iconic and widely used due to its versatile stat bonuses and useful teleports. It provides +10 to all attack bonuses and +3 to all defense bonuses, along with +6 Strength and +3 Prayer bonuses. Its teleports include Edgeville, Karamja, Al Kharid, and Draynor Village.

Players can create an Amulet of Glory by crafting a dragonstone necklace (80 Crafting) and enchanting it with Lvl-5 Enchant (68 Magic). Alternatively, Dragon Implings, which require 83 Hunter (93 for barehanded), can drop 3 Amulets of Glory at a 1 in 19 chance.

Amulet of Fury

The Amulet of Fury is often seen as an upgrade to the Amulet of Glory. It provides the same +10 attack bonuses but offers +15 to all defense types, +8 Strength, and +5 Prayer bonuses. This versatility makes it suitable for higher-level content but not the best for specific tasks.

Creating an Amulet of Fury involves casting Lvl-6 Enchant (87 Magic) on an onyx amulet (90 Crafting).

Amulet of Torture

Finally, the Amulet of Torture is the top melee necklace, giving +15 to stab, slash, and crush. It’s crafted by casting Lvl-7 Enchant (93 Magic) on a zenyte amulet (98 Crafting), with zenyte shards dropped by Demonic Gorillas post 'Monkey Madness II.'

Conclusion

In OSRS, necklaces have a variety of strengths, with some necklaces standing out for their properties and utility. The Dragonbone Necklace excels at prayer bonuses, the Mystic Necklace boosts magic damage, and the Necklace of Agony is the best choice for ranged attacks. The Amulet of Glory and the Amulet of Wrath offer a variety of property boosts and teleports, while the Amulet of Torture is best for melee combat. Acquiring these powerful necklaces can significantly enhance your gameplay, and having enough OSRS Gold can help you obtain them more easily.
