Requirements: This is a member's only skill, and you must have completed the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] quest, which also gives you a brief introduction to the skill. Note: During this guide, when it is said you need something to "Summon a creature," it actually costs nothing other than Summoning points (explained below) to bring a creature into the world of RuneScape. The materials are used to create Pouches which contain the 'essence' of the creature, and these Pouches are used to do the actual Summoning. Think of it like making a cocktail with all the ingredients, and then pouring it out when you want to.
Important Locations
Obelisks, Small Obelisks, & Shops
Obelisks are an essential part of the Summoning skill. They allow you to create Pouches, Scrolls and also allow you to recharge your Summoning points (explained below), whereas Small Obelisks, dotted all around RuneScape, can only let you recharge your Summoning points. Large Obelisks are only found in several places: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: Yes
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Harvey/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/Harvey/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image002.gif[/IMG]
This is the easiest to access, as it is where you begin the quest, and is in a safe region. Simply enter Druid Pikkupstix' house and climb through the trap door. Pikkupstix also runs a shop. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: No
For those that have completed the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] will be able to access this Obelisk, located in the tunnel towards the end of Pass. You can get to it more easily by teleporting to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] using a Teleportation Crystal and walking to the cave entrance highlighted on the map. However, there is no shop at this location. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: No
The Obelisk on Karamja is located on the peninsula on the north-western tip of the island, near [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. It is just South of the gold mining spot used in the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. There are a few scorpions nearby, but plenty of plants to hide behind if you get in trouble! Unfortunately, there is no shop at this location. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: Yes
This Obelisk is located in Filliman's Grotto, which can be accessed during and after the Nature Spirit quest. There is also a Wishing Well, which is actually a shop. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: Yes
Gu'Tanoth is located to the south of Yanille, and luckily, you don't need to complete any quests to use the Obelisk and shop. Bogrog also [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] your pouches for spirit shards. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: No
This is found just south-west of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], across the bridge, to the west and down a ladder. Another way to get there is to travel to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], where there is a bank, via Magic Carpet and walk east until you reach the ladder. Due to it being in the middle of the desert, there is no shop to be found. Be sure to bring your Standard Desert Traveling Gear (Desert Robes or Graahk Armour, Waterskins and a knife), and watch out for the level 63 Crocodiles! [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Obelisk: Yes Shop: No
The Piscatoris Obelisk is located just South of the Fishing Colony, down a trapdoor. Although it is surrounded by crates, there is no store at this location.
Summoning-Free Areas
There are some places in RuneScape where you cannot Summon a creature, or take one in with you (usually Pets are allowed). These include places such as the Grand Exchange, the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and some of the other [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
However, there are other areas (near Obelisks where you can infuse Pouches) where you still cannot Summon creatures, but you can take Familiars in with you.
Pouches
Getting Supplies
To be able to Summon a creature, you need the following components:
A Pouch, which can be bought from any of the Summoning stores for 1gp each. They are stackable.
Several Spirit Shards (depending on what you are Summoning), which can also be bought from any store, but for the price of 25gp each. These are also stackable.
A Charm, of which you would need a different color depending on what Pouch you are making. There are two groups of Charms - basic Charms, required for every creature (Gold, Green, Crimson and Blue), and Charms that act as material objects, and are listed under the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] section.
A material object. As Pikkupstix tells you, the entity you are Summoning needs to focus on something solid. This basically means you need something related to the creature you are Summoning, for example, you need a Raw Chicken to create a Dreadfowl Pouch (a Dreadfowl is a type of chicken).
Charms are more difficult to get a hold of, as they are given as monster drops and are non-tradeable or obtained by [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] from the average chests in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (level 52 Thieving required). Pikkupstix gives you a fair amount to start with, but the following creatures, listed by Jagex, have high Charm drop rates (most lower level creatures drop one Charm at a time, whereas higher levels, such as Dragons, drop multiple Charms, depending on how strong they are; e.g. a Fire Giant drops Charms one at a time, whereas the King Black Dragon drops four):

Fire Giants
86
A popular place to kill these is under the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], accessed during the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] quest. They are aggressive, but will stop attacking you if you remain there for long enough. They drop mostly Gold Charms, but are known to drop Green, Blue and Crimson occasionally, too.
Ice Giants
53
A good place to kill these is in the caves used during the[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] quest. There are also some tunnels on [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], which can be accessed by mining the rockslide to the North, and going up the correct ladder can take you to a few Ice Giants.
Ogres
53+
There are many different Ogres across RuneScape, but you should take note that the ogres in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]do not drop Charms.
Jogres
53
These are found on Karamja, on the east side of the southern island. Be sure to bring antipoison potions, as there are creatures that can poison you.
Blue Dragons
111
These are also known to give good Charm drops, but be warned; take a look at the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] before fighting these dangerous creatures.
Basilisks
61 40 Slayer Required
These are found in the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], but don't forget your Mirror Shield!
Bloodvelds
76 50 Slayer Required
These beasts are found on the second floor of the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and the God Wars Dungeon.
Other creatures have high drop rates of different Charms, but different creatures drop different charms, most more than one type. Moss Giants drop any of the Charms (except for Obsidian, Abyssal or any of the Void Knight Outpost Charms), so are useful if you are after a variety of them. Below is a list of the different Charms you can get, and examples of what creatures are likely to drop them. [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Harvey/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image003.gif[/IMG]Gold Charms - Fire Giants, Zamorak Warriors. Note: An especially good source for these are Giant Rock Crabs, and can be found either on [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or the new Chaos Tunnels, found north-east of the Zamorak Mage, who is just north of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and across the Wilderness Ditch. However, these are combat level 137, but can be attacked with magic from safespots. Green Charms - Blue Dragons, Basilisks, Jellies. Crimson Charms - Cockroaches, Greater Demons Blue Charms - Kalphite, Iron Dragons, Aberrant Spectres (combat level 96. Slayer level 60 and a Nose Peg required. Found in the Canifis Slayer Tower). These are the rarest of the standard Charms. Another Note: The other creatures in the Chaos Tunnels, as well as Giant Rock Crabs, are known to have high drop rates of Charms.
Making Pouches
Now that we've covered what you need to make the Summoning Pouches, it's time to learn how to actually make them.
Firstly, gather the required materials for the Pouch. In this example, we will create a Dreadfowl Pouch, which requires 1 Pouch (as all creatures do), 8 Spirit Shards, 1 Gold Charm and 1 Raw Chicken.
Then you will need to take all of the 'ingredients' to any Obelisk, and click "Infuse-Pouch" on the Altar. The following screen will pop up:
If you have all of the ingredients, click "Infuse Dreadfowl Pouch", et voila, you have a Dreadfowl Pouch!

Making Scrolls
Summoning Scrolls are used to activate your follower's special ability, and to make them, you need the Pouch of the creature that will be using the ability. We will continue with the example of Dreadfowl.
The Dreadfowl's special ability is the Dreadfowl Strike, so you will need to 'split' a Dreadfowl Pouch. Each time you split a Pouch, you receive 10 scrolls. To do so, click the "Transform Scrolls" tab after you have clicked on the Obelisk. You will see this screen:
If you have a Dreadfowl Pouch, you can click "Transform Dreadfowl Strike Scroll." You will receive 10 scrolls.
Summoning With Scrolls
Before learning how to Summon you should be aware of something: "Familiars" are creatures that are Summoned, and are temporary, whereas Pets are bought or captured and are permanent, unless you die with them in your pack or choose to dismiss them. Bringing a Familiar into RuneScape and keeping them there costs points, whereas getting a pet does not (see section on Pets for more information).
To Summon a creature, you will need at least one Summoning Point and a Pouch containing the entity of whatever you want to Summon. Simply right-click a Pouch, and click "Summon [creature] Pouch."
Some areas, mainly in parts of towns and always near an Obelisk, are "Summoning-Free." You will not be able to Summon anything in these areas, but you will be able to take them in with you. Pets, however, can be taken into or put down in these areas, except for certain minigames.
Familiar Interface
Now that you have a Familiar, you will be able to access a new interface, found on the bottom-left of you inventory.
Summoning Icon - Click this to view the interface. This does not show up if you do not have a follower.
Call Familiar - Makes the Summoned creature appear beside you. (This happens automatically if the creature falls too far behind)
Take BoB Items - if your Familiar is a forager and picks up something, or is a Beast of Burden and you have given it something, clicking this button takes any items from its inventory (you cannot take anything if your inventory is full).
Dismiss Familiar - After your confirmation, this gets rid of your Familiar, and you will have to use another Pouch to bring another into being. This happens automatically after the timer runs out.
Summoning Points Remaining - This conveniently shows you how many Summoning Points you have left.
Familiar time remaining - Shows how long your follower has until it disappears.
Familiar name and picture
Special points remaining - This is similar to the special meter on weapons with special attacks, and goes down every time you use a Scroll. The amount goes down in different amounts, depending on what scroll you use; the bar recharges over time. Note: This is separate to your weapon's special bar, so if you use one, the other remains unaffected.
Special ability - Clicking this, if you have scrolls in your inventory, will activate your Familiar's special attack. The number shows how many scrolls you have left.
When you Summon a Familiar, it will cost you a certain amount Summoning Points, depending on what Pouch you are using. These are like Prayer Points, and can be recharged by right-clicking on an Obelisk and click "Renew-Points," or left-clicking on a Small obelisk. When Summoned, your creature will have a certain amount of minutes until it disappears, and your Summoning Points will be slowly drained if you have a Familiar out. Warnings will pop up in the chat box to let you know the timer is running out. The time your Familiar lasts depends on the creature you are Summoning (for example, with the Dreadfowl, it costs 1 point to Summon, and it lasts for 4 minutes before disappearing).
Using Special Abilities And Scrolls
Different Familiars have different abilities and different Scrolls. When you interact with your Familiar, they can perform an Ability, which will not drain your Summoning Points or Special Bar. Following the Dreadfowl example, if you talk to it and select "Farming boost," your Farming level will temporarily increase by one.
There are seven kinds of abilities currently available: Fights - The majority of Familiars have the ability to fight, but only in multicombat areas. They will only attack if you choose to attack something, and will retaliate if you have the auto-retaliate button switched on. Light enhancer - Some creatures (notably, bats) have the ability to make any light source with you brighter. Skill boost - Different Familiars can boost different skills. With some creatures, you must activate them by talking to them, but others, such as the Desert wyrm, can provide 'invisible' boosts, which remain active as long as they remain Summoned. Remote view - This allows you to see through the eyes of your Familiar, meaning that you can see things much further away. You can see in the different Cardinal directions (North, South, East and West) and directly above. Beast of burden - These can carry a certain number of items. Some Familiars can only hold specific items (such as the Abyssal parasite, which can only carry unnoted rune and pure essence). Forager - When having these Familiars Summoned, there is a chance that they will pick up items, specific to the creature. These are then put into the Familiar's 'inventory,' which you can only withdraw from. Healer - These regularly heal the Summoner for a few hitpoints.
If you choose to use a scroll, this will drain your Familiar's special bar by a few points, depending on what scroll you are using. To do so, click on the icon in the top left of the interface. Attack scrolls can only be used in multi-combat areas. Dreadfowl Strike can be activated in combat, and acts as a low-level missile spell.

Familiar Abilities and Skill Focuses
---------- Post added 08-27-2009 at 07:36 AM ----------
Each creature has a certain skill in which they help you, and this can be either combat or non-combat skills - these are called 'skill focuses.' In the table below, the time each Familiar remains out is shown, the combat level is shown if the Familiar fights, and their skill focus is written with any additional information in the column beside it. Aside from Abyssal parasite, lurker and titan, every slot can hold one item or stack of items (you cannot give them non-tradeable items).
Some creatures have 'invisible' skill boosts. All this means is that the boost applies whilst they remain Summoned, rather than having to interact with them to activate it.

Acquiring Ingredients
Some of the secondary ingredients are harder to acquire than others, and below is a list of where to get them. Remember that the Grand Exchange can be your best friend when leveling Summoning, if you don't mind spending extra to get the ingredients. Material Charms:

It is advised to take into account the cost of the material item required before using this table to work out the expense of training. Charms are also a big factor when deciding upon a method of training; some Charms are much harder to come across than others.
Pets
If you are fed up of wandering round, mindlessly killing anything in your path, then you may want to get a pet. Then you can continue said killing, except that you will have a companion to keep you company! Pets do not require any Summoning Points to care for them, just a little food and attention.
Pet Stores
There are currently two pet stores in RuneScape, and they are found in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]: Taverley: This is located South of the quest start point for the Wolf Whistle quest.
Yanille: The Yanille pet store is between the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] store and the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], near the center of the town.
The pet shop owners sell an infinite supply of the following items for 10gp each: Nuts - Used to feed squirrels, and also helps when catching them by using them with a Net trap (level 60 Summoning and 27 Hunter required). Flies - Used to feed Baby Geckos, and helps when catching them with a Box trap (level 10 Summoning and 27 Hunter). Also feeds Chameleons. Beetle bits - Used to feed Adult Geckos.
---------- Post added 08-27-2009 at 07:38 AM ----------
The pet store owner, when spoken too, will also sell you a dog of your choice for 500gp. You must have done the Wolf Whistle quest to buy one.
Pet Interface
When you have got your pet, you can choose to "drop" it. This will not get rid of it, but allows your pet to follow you. You can access the Pet Interface the same way as you would the Familiar Interface, by clicking the icon in the bottom left hand corner; they are quite similar.
Summoning Icon - Click this to view the interface. This does not show up if you do not have a follower.
Call Pet - Makes your pet appear beside you.
Dismiss Pet - If you confirm, your pet will disappear and you will not be able to get the same one again. You will have to get another and start caring for it from the beginning!
Pet Growth Percentage - Shows how close your pet is to growing to its next stage. For most pets, at 100% it becomes fully grown, but several pets have more than one stage. For example, when you hatch a Guthix Raptor, it will start off as a chick, grow into a bird, and then become a fully grown Raptor. Pets only grow when you are logged in.
Pet Hunger - You must feed your pet in order for it to survive! The higher this percentage, the hungrier your pet is. Different pets eat different food, as shown in the table below.
Pet Name and Picture
Finding and Feeding Pets
The pictures shown are just one color of each Pet - some of them can have different variations (colors). To obtain a different color dog, you would have to dismiss your current one and purchase a new one.

Raising Pets
Even though your pet may be nothing more than pixels and coding, it still has to be fed! Every pet gets hungry in its younger form, and each has its own food requirements. Some Pets, such as adult cats (from the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Quest (no Summoning level required) do not need to be fed when they are older.
By looking at your follower's Hunger Percentage, you can see how hungry it is. You shouldn't let your pet get too hungry, as if it begins to starve (at 100% hunger) it will run away, and you will have to acquire a new one.
Since every pet needs to be fed a certain type of food, you should probably find out what to feed your Pet before you get one. The table below also shows where to find your pet (click the thumbnails for more detail).
The vast majority of Pets have two forms (baby and adult) and take 10 hours in game to raise, but the 'God Birds' (Zamorak hawk, Guthix Raptor and Saradomin Owl) have three forms (chick, bird and hawk/raptor/owl) and so take 20 hours to raise in game. Note: You can only have one follower out at a time, and the number of pets you can have increases with your Summoning level. This starts at 1 pet at level 4, and with every 10 Summoning levels, you can raise one more pet. Note on Eggs: Eggs are a random yield from Bird's nests obtained from Woodcutting. They must be found when cutting trees or with the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] minigame (when collecting maple logs, you may receive a nest), rather than by exchanging Mole skin / claws with Wyson, if you wish to get one of the three colored eggs or a Raven egg. All eggs must be incubated in the Incubator at either the Yanille or Taverley Pet Stores.
Headgear
There are various types of headgear that you can wear at different Summoning levels. Three of these are specifically designed for this purpose (Antlers, Lizard skull and Feathered headdresses), and the rest can be converted (and unconverted) by Pikkupstix. When converted, they cannot be traded, and have the ability to hold scrolls, and they will also look a little lighter than the original helmet. Each of these can store a different number of scrolls, and activate when you are in combat and have the Familiar Summoned that matches said scrolls.
The scrolls stored can only be scrolls that can be activated in a fight (you cannot use a Herbcall scroll, for example). The headgear becomes 'charged' when you use scrolls on them, but become uncharged again by removing the scrolls. Below are the three specific items of headgear, and the tables show the other items that can be enchanted by Pikkupstix: Antlers - Summoning level 10 required, can store up to 40 scrolls. Bought from Summoning Stores for 100gp. Lizard skull - Summoning level 30 required, can store up to 65 scrolls. Bought from Summoning Stores for 200gp. Feather headdresses - Summoning level 50 required, can store up to 150 scrolls. Crafted from a Coif and 20 colored feathers (i.e. Red, Brown, Stripy; obtained from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with the Hunter skill), level 79 Crafting Required.
Bogrog's Exchange - in Gu'Tanoth, you can "swap" pouches with Bogrog - he will give you 70% of the shards used to create the pouch/pouches back to you. He accepts pouches in noted form, and the amount of shards you will receive is rounded up. For example, the Pyrelord needs 111 shards to be created, and you will receive (111*0.7=77.7) 78 shards.
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Harvey/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image003.gif[/IMG]Summoning potions can be used to restore a percentage of your Summoning points with each dose, like a Prayer potion (7-31 points, depending on your level). You can make them by adding a clean spirit weed and a Cockatrice egg to a vial of water.
When you are ten levels above the required Summoning level to Summon, buy, or catch your familiar/pet, you will be able to understand them, but you will need a M'Speak Amulet to understand monkeys (obtained during the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Quest). Therefore you will never be able to understand creatures that require a Summoning level of 90+ (you cannot use the Summoning boost that comes with the skill cape to talk to them, either), and this does not apply to the Abyssal creatures, who will always talk a garbled language.
