# Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} with your {{ItemIcon|Ent}} Tablets equipped, until 5 more {{Icon|Ent|type=mark|Marks of the Ent}} have been discovered, making your {{Icon|Ent|type=mark|Mark of the Ent}} level 2, enabling one half of the {{ItemIcon|Ent}}/{{ItemIcon|Octopus}} synergy. | # Train {{Skill|Woodcutting}} with your {{ItemIcon|Ent}} Tablets equipped, until 5 more {{Icon|Ent|type=mark|Marks of the Ent}} have been discovered, making your {{Icon|Ent|type=mark|Mark of the Ent}} level 2, enabling one half of the {{ItemIcon|Ent}}/{{ItemIcon|Octopus}} synergy. | ||
#* No matter what you're doing, try to ensure you always have Tablets equipped, even if this means temporarily stopping whatever skill you are doing to create some more.

#* Remember that these rings are incredibly rare and may take a very long time to obtain, ''feel free to do something else if you get bored.'' You can always come back later when you have more bonuses. | |||
#* Use the raw fish you catch to create {{ItemIcon|Octopus|Octopi}} and the cooked fish you earn from the synergy to create {{ItemIcon|Pig|Pigs}}. Some resources cannot be used to create Tablets. | |||
#* {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Ent}} should be phased out as you progress and transition into {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} and {{ItemIcon|Pig}}. The synergy will require the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} to be Mark Level 3, and the {{ItemIcon|Pig}} to be Mark Level 2. | |||
#* {{ItemIcon|Pig}} allows you to ''make money'' while training Fishing and Summoning, instead of pouring all of your {{GP}} into familiar tablets. | |||
#* Once you start making more raw and cooked fish than you need to create Tablets, sell the excess for spare {{Icon|GP}}. | |||
#* Most summoning Tablets allow you to select the recipe, changing the type and quantity of resources consumed per action. For example, {{ItemIcon|Pig}} needs 50 {{ItemIcon|Shrimp}} available at {{SkillReq|Fishing|1}}, making good {{ItemIcon|Pig}} Tablet uptime hard, but only needs 7 {{ItemIcon|Swordfish}} which is available at {{SkillReq|Fishing|50}}. | |||
