1. Intro

So, this guide was made after few requests by people who saw me get 70+ summoning and had no idea how to do that themselves. Here will be written the best(good exp and decent cost, which atm is only for the shards but I'm planning on doing the 2nd ingredients aswel), though summoning is not cheap and you will have to pay a pretty penny. This is a skill which requires gp(By getting 90 I've spent ALOT which includes 40m+). I've also put down the best charm droppers (some are suggested from players and some I've tested myself).

If You want to vouche for me it be appreciated Also please rate the guide


__________________________________________________________________________


1.1 How to start leveling summoning

To start this skill you will need the Wolf Whistle quest. After completing this quest you will get 275 gold charms from which you could level up to 16-19 summoning.


__________________________________________________________________________


1.2 Recommended items/levels

Because this skill,as I mentioned, is quite expensive, I'd recommend having these items/skills:

Atleast 1m gp (Spirit shards cost 25gp each + you will be needing 2nd ingredients)
10 construction (To move your house to Taverly for better access to the obelisk)

OR:
57 Summoning (Spirit Kyatt, look below for picture on how to level with those)

^ the picture above (if you can see it, because you have to resize images if you're putting them on HD) shows that you teleport with a spirit Kyatt, then there's a trapdoor and you just go down it

Also it would be wise to have 55 Magic (if you chose to alchemize your pouches)


__________________________________________________________________________
1.3 What should I do with my pouches?

You can choose - either alchemize your pouches or trade them to shards:
By alcheming your pouches you get around 70% of the gp for the shard cost back + nature runes expense. OR:
Bring the pouches to Bogrog and he Will give you 70% of your shards back, except you will be needing a higher level to trade the pouches. Here is the location of Bogrog and few examples of what levels you need to trade the pouches:



__________________________________________________________________________


1.4 Should I make attack scrolls?

That's a Maybe - attack scrolls are not worth alching but Bogrog does trade them after the update (somewhere at the end of 2008 I think). I'd recommend making them for specific familiars which you will be using (e.g. spirit terrorbird and etc. ).


__________________________________________________________________________


1.5 What should I do with blue charms?

I'd recommend saving them for higher levels because from level 73 you can make golems and later even titans - they are high level (120+) and will be a really good use in duel tournaments or other minigames. Blue charms are hard to obtain, they give the most exp and it's just not worth it to use them up in low levels.


__________________________________________________________________________


2.0 levels 4-16

After finishing the Wolf Whistle Quest you will have 275 gold charms so firstly make Dreadfowls

After getting level 13 switch to Thorny Snails and that's how you make it to 16 or 17.


From level 4 to level 13, you're going to need 168 dreadfowl pouches, that's 8 shards each. 168*8*25=33,600gp
from level 13 to level 16 you're going to need 73 thorny snail pouches, that's 9 shards each. 73*9*25=16,425gp
By exchanging these pouches for shards you're going to get 1400 shards back. That's 35,000gp back. So the total cost for shards would be 15,025gp.
168 dreadfowl pouches would need 168 raw chicken (Click for current price) at 70gp each, 168*70=11,760gp.
73 thorny snail pouches would need 73 Raw thin snail (Click for current price) at 236gp each, 73*236=17,228gp.

2.10 How many charms you need to 99 summoning?

I got many requests for the number of charms you're going to need, so here's the results:
Gold - 278
Green - 0
Crimson - 35490

Also Remember, you'll have extra blue charms, which I haven't included, so the calculations may be just a little off
People also ask me 'why so many crimsons, so few golds and no greens?' and the answer is simple: because crimson charms are easy to obtain, they give the optimum experience and their second ingredients aren't as expensive. When I finish the calculations with secondary ingredients included, the price will be way smaller than it would've been with green charms

Also, these numbers don't mean that you can't make green/gold charm familiars but it's just not efficient to make them, unless you need them, e.g. unicorns or bunyips or just spirit terrorbirds. If you have those charms and want to use them - go for it.


__________________________________________________________________________


2.11 How much it costs to 99 summoning?

!!!2nd INGREDIENTS' PRICES INCLUDED SINCE AUGUST 13th, 2009!!!




So the total cost for 99 summoning (shard costs plus 2nd ingredient costs) would be Around 67,045,595gp.

3.3 Updates to be made & random stuff

 

is this yours?

not bad buddy.

 

You shouldn't have claimed the guide to be your own, because it isn't.

It's called plagiarism.

 

This is 100% ripped from Runescape Community. I have already read this guide already and I distinctively remember the names "Tera Chaos" and "Fate ex Fatey" in your FAQs. I would post the link to the original topic but I'm lagging :O

 

ha ha he got busted.
