Summoning

Summoning is a skill that allows you to create Summoning Tablets for various familiars which provide bonuses to various tasks while equipped. Two types of tablets can be equipped in a single loadout. Some combinations of familiars provide a Synergy effect in addition to their regular benefits when equipped at the same time.

Mechanics

Gathering Summoning Marks

In order to create Summoning Tablets for a given familiar, the player must have at least one of the corresponding Summoning Marks. Summoning Marks for familiars are acquired by gaining XP in skills other than summoning. The Summoning Marks screen will show the skills that marks can be discovered in for each familiar the player has the level to summon.

Summoning Marks cannot be found until the player has reached the level to create the appropriate tablet (If playing in Adventure mode, the player must also have Summoning unlocked in order to begin finding Summoning Marks). At level 1, there are two Marks that can be found: The Mark of the Golbin Thief, which is discovered while training combat with a style that gains Attack, Strength, or Defence XP and the Mark of the Ent, which is discovered while Woodcutting.

Once the first Mark for a given Familiar has been found, the player will not find any more marks until they create at least one Summoning Tablet for that familiar.

Summoning Marks are not items and will not go to the player's bank. Once found, they instead will fill the progress bar towards leveling up the mark level for the appropriate familiar. The number of marks per level and the benefits are as follows:

Level Marks Needed to Level Up Cumulative Marks for Level Benefit
1 1 1 Unlocks the ability to create Summoning Tablets for the familiar
2 5 6 Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 1 familiars
3 10 16 Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 2 familiars
4 15 31 Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 3 familiars

Note that:

Gaining Summoning XP

Once the player has at least one Summoning Mark, they can begin leveling Summoning. There are two ways to gain Summoning XP: Creating Summoning Tablets, and using Summoning Tablets. Note however that only tablet creation grants Mastery XP.

Creating Summoning Tablets

Creating Summoning Tablets is a slow process relative to other artisan skills. Each action takes 5 seconds by default and produces 25 tablets. The interval can be reduced to 4.85 seconds if the player has the Forest Trail Agility Obstacle.

The number of tablets created can be increased in a number of ways, including the Runic Trail Agility Obstacle, the 95% Mastery Pool Checkpoint for Summoning, the Summoning Skillcape, Necromancer Robes, and Necromancer Potions.

Regardless of the number of tablets created, the same amount of XP will be earned for each action. The base amount of XP earned is equal to

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{XP Gained} = 5 + 2 \times \lfloor \text{Summoning Level Required} \times 0.2 \rfloor }[/math]

For example, creating Pig summoning tablets (requiring Summoning Level 25) will grant [math]\displaystyle{ 5 + 2 \times \lfloor 25 \times 0.2 \rfloor = 15 }[/math] xp.

Using Familiars

Summoning XP can be gained much more quickly by using the Summoning Tablets once created. XP is gained whenever a tablet charge is used. For non-combat tablets, this occurs whenever the player does an action in the relevant skill. For combat tablets, this occurs each time the familiar attack bar fills, which takes 3 seconds.

XP gained follows a formula that is based on the level of the summon and the amount of time the action took (in seconds):

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{XP Gained} = \frac{\text{Action Time} \times \text{Summoning Level Required} \times 10}{\text{Summoning Level Required} + 10} }[/math]

For example, when cooking with Pig Summoning Tablets equipped (Summoning Level 25 required) with the default 3 second cooking interval the XP earned will be [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{3 \times 25 \times 10}{25 + 10} = 21.4 }[/math] xp.

Unlocking And Using Synergies

Some familiars produce an additional effect when both are used at the same time. These combination effects are called Synergies and can be unlocked by reaching a high enough Mark level with both summons. Even if both familiars are equipped, the Synergy effect will not happen unless it is unlocked.

The Mark level required for a synergy is equal to one plus the tier level of the other summon in the synergy. For example, to unlock the synergy between Golbin Thief (Tier 1) and Minotaur (Tier 2) the player needs to reach Mark Level 3 for Golbin Thief and Mark Level 2 for Minotaur.

While using an unlocked Synergy, charges will be used from both tablets even if the second tablet would not normally be used. For example, when using the Ent + Mole Synergy (+2% chance per action in Woodcutting to gain a random gem), both Ent and Mole tablets will be consumed even though normally Mole tablets only affect Mining.

XP is gained for both tablets, which means Synergies can be used to turn tablets into XP faster than using the tablets separately. This can be particularly useful for consuming higher level tablets like Bear or Devil through very fast Woodcutting actions using the Ent Synergy.
