Now for some actually useful feedback...

To train summoning, you just need to collect charms as drops from almost every monster. When you have enough charms, you imbue them at a Summoning Obelisk. That's all there is.

The real trick to summoning is to find monsters with good charm drops. Unless you need to get to 99 summoning NOW, I always tell players to just train normally and always pick up the charms. Eventually, it adds up to tons of charms and you'll level up in no time. However, most monsters have lackluster drops in charms, so the "EXP/hr" is like 15-20k for most monsters. If you are interested in specifically grinding Summoning, there are two major ways. Firstly, you can burst/barrage Rock Lobsters. (Look on Youtube for this complicated method). That gets about 40-60k exp/hr worth of charms. Secondly, you can fight some monsters that have a high drop rate using standard combat. Abyssal Demons/Black Demons/Nechryaels/etc. are actually very good for charms, not to mention for normal drops. They give about 35-40k exp/hr worth of charms if you kill them efficiently.

Nice post Kero.

As Kero said, if you want to grind summoning, the best thing to do would be go to Rock Lobsters in the dagganoth dungeon. (Note to always use barrage if you have it, instead of burst, since the charms/hour is increased with barrage, and the cost is less overall, since it takes less hits to kill them)

If you're in no hurry, I'd suggest training slayer, and picking up every charm you get. Do slayer with a cannon and you'll usually get about 30-50 crimson charms per task. This build up really fast and in no time at all you will have 94-95 summoning.

Kero pretty much has it down pat, especially the charm part To add on to Kero's post, I would like to share an actual method that you may find handy.

Once you have a whole whackload of charms in your bank, you need to figure out what pouches you can make with what charms, at what level, and from there decided which pouches you will be able to make for the best exp. The chart that I used to get started was this one:

Below is a table showing you what pouches to make with charms for the best xp/hr and for the lowest gp/hr used and in the order of which to make them

You will also need to do some research to figure out what secondary ingredients you need for each type of pouch you want to make, how many of those you can make etc. and then buy that amount of secondaries on the GE accordingly.

Start with your golds and greens, and try to save your crimson & blue charms until you have nothing else left. The reason for this is that crimson charms are by far the best to train with throughout your summoning career, as great experience can be achieved at a whole range of different levels using crims, and blue charms give your probably the MOST experience if you save and wait until 90+ to use for high levelled pouches.

Buy a bunch of glories, duelling rings, or get your Ring of Kinship, and decided where you which location you want to teleport to to bank. Start by moving your house to Taverly, and set your teleport option to 'arrive AT the portal' rather than arrive inside the house. Bring a few hundred House teleport tabs inside your inventory, tons of shards (can be purchased in bulk on GE or from Pikkupstix), a stack of a few thousand empty pouches (the blank ones), and the stack of charms that you are going to start with. The rest of your inventory should be filled up with the SECONDARY ingredient that you need for your pouch.

For example -- If you were making dreadfowl pouches from 4-16 like it says on the chart, you would need:
- Shards
- Empty pouches
- Stack of gold charms
- House teleport tabs
- 24 raw chickens (the secondary ingredient)

Start by teleporting to house with the above setup ^. You will land in front of the portal in taverly, a very short running distance from Pikupstix's house. Run to his house, go down the ladder, and select the "Infuse pouch" option from the obelisk there. Right click, select "make all", watch the exp drop, then use your glory/duelling ring/Ring of Kinship to teleport directly to a bank. Bank the pouches, grab more secondaries and click your house tab to teleport back.

This process is extremely fast, and you can raise your level very, very quickly once you have amassed a great deal of charms. I hope that helps somewhat, I know how starting summoning can be sort of confusing but its quite easy once you get the hang of it

This is pretty much all you need to know, but one thing no one mentioned was waterfiends for crimson charms. At your level you could get 100+ charms an hour and around 100k profit if you pick up the drops per hour. They're also fairly decent combat xp but your probably maxed in combat at your level.
