==Getting Started==
* Most, if not all, gear from the base game can be upgraded once into (B) Barrier Gear which typically give 'Flat Summoning Damage' as well as '+x% Summoning Familiar damage added as extra damage to Barrier'
** Starting from (B) Mithril, (B) Green D-hide, and (B) Acolyte Wizard, (B) Barrier Gear will provide '+x% chance to dodge Crystallization from being applied' which is essential when dealing with mobs that apply Crystallization, like those found in {{ZoneIcon|Crystal Caves}}
** Melee gear starting from Mithril can be further upgraded into (C) Barrier Gear. Starting from (C) Rune, these give '+x% chance to dodge Crystal Sanction from being applied' which is essential when fighting mobs from {{ZoneIcon|Crystal Depths}}
* There's a few options for a starting Barrier gem. A {{ItemIcon|Basic Barrier Gem}} and {{ItemIcon|Barrier Gem}} can be obtained from {{Skill|Archaeology}} at level 1 and 6 respectively. You may also obtain a {{ItemIcon|Barrier Touch Gem}} from {{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave}}. These will be quickly replaced by the {{ItemIcon|Sapping Barrier Gem}}.
* An {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Barrier Touch}} and {{ItemIcon|Ring of Barrier Touch}} can be made in {{Skill|Crafting}} at level 20. The necklace will be quickly replaced by the {{ItemIcon|Lesser Summoning Amulet}}.
* The {{ItemIcon|Lesser Summoning Amulet}} from {{MonsterIcon|Blind Ghost}} in {{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave}} is quite powerful for a while
* The {{MonsterIcon|Blind Warrior}} in {{ZoneIcon|Eye-conic Cave}} drops a {{ItemIcon|Barrier Touch Shield}}. You may also get a {{ItemIcon|Book of Occults}} from {{MonsterIcon|Necromancer}} if you have the Combat stats to do so
* The {{MonsterIcon|Vampiric Bat}} in {{ZoneIcon|Mucky Cave}} drops {{ItemIcon|Barrier Sapping Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|Sapping Barrier Gem}} which is an upgrade to all the previously mentioned Barrier Gems. These gloves can be upgraded into {{ItemIcon|Barrier Draining Gloves}} after you have beaten {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}} and obtained {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem|qty=10|Barrier Draining Gems}}. There is a Township task that will give {{ItemIcon|Draining Barrier Gem|qty=3|Barrier Draining Gems}} upon 1 completion of {{ZoneIcon|Golem Territory}}
* The {{ItemIcon|Tortoise}} and it's synergies can be good for dealing with harder Barrier mobs and Dungeons however using this early is quite over kill
* There's a few options for reducing Summoning Attack Interval. These are {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Defender}}, obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Trickery Temple}}, which can be upgraded into {{ItemIcon|Knight's Summoning Defender}}, the {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessed Ring}} obtained from {{ZoneIcon|Cult Grounds}}, and the {{ItemIcon|Summoner's Blessing}} which is a consumable that is purchased from the [[Shop]] for {{GP|100}} and {{ItemIcon|qty=10|Museum Token}} each
