The chance of acquiring marks over time for a familiar can be increased by:
The chance of acquiring marks over time for a familiar can be increased by:
* 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}}

* Burning the log with the highest {{Icon|Mastery}} level for {{Skill|Firemaking}}. Due to the fixed action time above varying per log, the log with the highest mastery level is the quickest relative to the base burn interval, which in turn maximises the mark chance

* Minimising the action time for the following resource-consuming skills: {{Skill|Cooking}}, {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{Skill|Fletching}}, {{Skill|Crafting}}, {{Skill|Runecrafting}}, and {{Skill|Herblore}}. This improves the rate at which marks are acquired. For any other skills, changes to the action time have no impact on the rate of mark acquisition, although longer actions are usually preferable to reduce the number of tablets consumed over time

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.
