Summoning

[Gregg 52]

Summoning and what is it good for?
Summoning is a skill that focuses on summoning familiars using pouches. Each familiar has a unique ability that requires a summoning scroll which can be made by sacrificing the pouch for 10 scrolls each. Familiars have a wide variety of uses from fighting to carrying items to even boosts in other skills. In order to make these pouches you will need to gather a few things:

 - Summoning pouches are the cheapest part of summoning as each individual pouch will only cost you 1gp.
 -Summoning shards can be obtained via the summoning store for 25gp each. Sprit shard packs can also be bought to get shards in bulk to save the continuous buying.
 - Charms can be the hardest part of the summoning skill. As getting charms isnt something thats very difficult, it will take some time to get all of the neccesary charms for your 99 Summoning skill.

How to obtain charms?
There are two main ways to obtain charms
Slayer- With the charming imp perk from our donation store this will make it far much easier but if you don't have it, killing anything and everything will drop charms. from your starting rockcrabs all the way up to your ganodermics.
Godwars- Blood/smoke Barrage 

This will be just a few pases north from the spawning point. this is the most optimal Charms/hr 

Secondaries
Making Summoning pouches require a secondary corresponding to what you wish to make.

Optimal Experience
=> Move/Switch between blues and crimsons as quick as you can. Golds and greens aren't great for long term leveling, especially for legendary game modes. You will want to focus your charm farming around crimsons. 

=> When you reach Crimsons/ Blues  and you get a new familiar that uses golds or greens, stick with your Crimson and Blue charm familiars, as they will give you the best optimal experience for your time and money.

The skilling outfit


After each 1000 Pouches have been made, you will gain a piece of the shaymen's outfit. an outfit that will boost the experience given to each pouch created.

I can see lots of time has been put into make this guide, big props definitely will help new players with summoning

[Arachnid 62]

Appreciate the guide! I'll use some of it's knowledge to help myself with leveling for sure. 

The only things I wanted to throw out there, are that some of these item prices are slightly off. Additionally it was difficult to follow which charms were used for which pouches, since all the text is the same color. ?

I have to agree with Arachnid there. Possibly if you had the font color for the summary of pouch making set to be white, and then have the color of the charm each time it's written, it would be much easier to read. Overall well made guide, and I like it.

This has been temporarally fixed until i can go and individually add charm pngs' to each of them.
Sorry about that

O.T. Thanks for the feedback

Hi ardougne!
first of all super nice guide! but i noticed a tiny mistake.
the pouch "wolpentinger" requires 1x wolf bones & 1x raw rabbit.
i stumbled upon this while leveling my summoning with your guide.

thanks for the hard work!

[Chris 23]

Nice guide really fast skill

[Mintrsps 1]

The Guide is good for New players. The only thing wrong is in order to make a Wolpertinger pouch you need Wolf bones, and Raw Rabbit. On the guide you only put that you need Raw Rabbit. Everything else is good! ?
