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.

Therefore, the chance of acquiring marks over time for a familiar can be increased by:
===== Maximising Mark Discovery Chance =====
* Equipping tablets of that same familiar. This doubles the chance for non-combat skills (excluding {{Skill|Alt Magic}}), and increases the chance by 1.75 times for {{Icon|Combat}} skills as well as {{Skill|Alt Magic}}

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. Additionally, {{ItemIcon|Occultist}} and {{ItemIcon|Witch}} Summoning Tablets will be consumed for each {{Skill|Alt Magic}} action performed, providing XP faster by 1 second than through combat, but gaining no other benefit from the Tablet.

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

=== Unlocking And Using Synergies ===
=== Unlocking And Using Synergies ===
 
{{Main|Reference=Synergy}}
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.
{{:Synergy}}
 
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 {{ItemIcon|Golbin Thief}} (Tier 1) and {{ItemIcon|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, a charge will be used from each tablet. These charges are used in addition to any charges that would normally be used for the action. For example, when using the {{ItemIcon|Ent}} + {{ItemIcon|Mole}} Synergy (+2% chance per action in Woodcutting to gain a random gem), two Ent tablets and one Mole tablet will be used for each action.
 
XP is gained for each tablet used, which means Synergies earn XP faster due to consuming more tablets. As the XP earned scales with action time, the amount of XP earned per tablet can be maximised by choosing the longest action.
