This guide is my overall entry point recommendations for {{Skill|Summoning}} synergies to support skilling (not doing combat here, yet). These recommendations will help to make {{Skill|Summoning}} less daunting and overall cover most aspects of the skill. There are one or two niche situations that the remainder of the synergies pertain to, but you can research those at your own pace when you feel more comfortable with the skill. The goal of this guide is to act as an entry point aimed at making the skill seem much less confusing and make it more approachable. Once you have your foot in the door, the skill will start to make more sense. | This guide is my overall entry point recommendations for {{Skill|Summoning}} synergies to support skilling (not doing combat here, yet).

I have seen several people now say that they avoid {{Skill|Summoning}} completely, probably because it seems convoluted to them. This was especially evident with the recent April Fools mode with a wave of people asking how to max {{Skill|Summoning}} as their last skill. This is quite unfortunate, as {{Skill|Summoning}} is designed to be trained alongside most other skills in the game, and dedicating training of the skill is very slow. You get the vast majority of your experience from *using* the tablets, not from making them. In addition, all of the {{Skill|Summoning}} effects pay dividends on the time and resources invested into them. When starting out you will just barely break even (the yield from summoning roughly equals the investment), but as compounding effects from the mastery checkpoints, 95% pool and {{ItemIcon|Summoning Skillcape}} come into play, you will start heavily profiting, as you have to spend less time and resources making tablets. | I have seen several people now say that they avoid {{Skill|Summoning}} completely, probably because it seems convoluted to them.

My recommendation for starting out is always {{ItemIcon|Ent}} with {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you unlock {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} at level 15.

The extra cooked fish from the synergy can be directly recycled into making more tablets, and with some preservation and mastery levels you will soon start earning more from bonus fish than you spend on {{ItemIcon|Summoning Shard (Green)}} and {{ItemIcon|Summoning Shard (Silver)}}. | My recommendation for starting out is always {{ItemIcon|Ent}} with {{Skill|Woodcutting}} until you unlock {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} at level 15.

Introduction
This guide is my overall entry point recommendations for Summoning synergies to support skilling (not doing combat here, yet). These recommendations will help to make
Summoning less daunting and overall cover most aspects of the skill. There are one or two niche situations that the remainder of the synergies pertain to, but you can research those at your own pace when you feel more comfortable with the skill. The goal of this guide is to act as an entry point aimed at making the skill seem much less confusing and make it more approachable. Once you have your foot in the door, the skill will start to make more sense.
I have seen several people now say that they avoid Summoning completely, probably because it seems convoluted to them. This was especially evident with the recent April Fools mode with a wave of people asking how to max
Summoning as their last skill. This is quite unfortunate, as
Summoning is designed to be trained alongside most other skills in the game, and dedicating training of the skill is very slow. You get the vast majority of your experience from *using* the tablets, not from making them. In addition, all of the
Summoning effects pay dividends on the time and resources invested into them. When starting out you will just barely break even (the yield from summoning roughly equals the investment), but as compounding effects from the mastery checkpoints, 95% pool and
Summoning Skillcape come into play, you will start heavily profiting, as you have to spend less time and resources making tablets.
My recommendation for starting out is always Ent with
Woodcutting until you unlock
Octopus at level 15. Then fish with
Octopus active until level 25, at which point you can start utilising the
Octopus +
Pig synergy. This is one of the best synergies and is unlocked at a very low level. You can do this to bolster your profit from
Fishing. The extra cooked fish from the synergy can be directly recycled into making more tablets, and with some preservation and mastery levels you will soon start earning more from bonus fish than you spend on
Summoning Shard (Green) and
Summoning Shard (Silver).
The next recommendation is the Leprechaun +
Monkey synergy while thieving the
Fisherman. This is one of the best money making methods from
Thieving, only outclassed by high level methods with the
Knight and
Princess, both of which require
Thieving Skillcape and passive slot from
Into the Mist and so they have much, much higher requirements.
As a general rule, you always want to be running summoning tablets for any skills that allow them. There are situations where there aren't really any useful synergies (e.g. Herblore) but even in this case you still want to be running the base tablet for the raw bonuses (non-synergy effects). Remember, tablets are consumed at a 2:1 ratio, where the skill's base tablet is consumed twice (once for the base effect and once for the synergy) while the secondary tablet is consumed once per synergy activation. You should get
Summoning to 99 relatively early into your account progression, and it will soon become your second highest skill behind
Farming as you will be utilising the synergies constantly.
Here are my general recommendations for the main synergies to focus on for each skill:

These recommendations are based on three considerations. First, the quantity needed is based on the GP sale value of an item, so higher valued items are prioritised to reduce the raw quantity needed. Secondly, whether the base item has other uses elsewhere in the game. Lastly, whether the item is easy or not to obtain.
- For
Ent, there is only really one choice, as all of the other logs sell for dirt cheap and hence have far too high of a quantity cost to make them worthwhile.
- For
Mole, you can choose whichever ore you have an abundance of from training
Mining. I trained mining on
Mithril Ore, so I had more than enough of this ore to sustain 99
Mole mastery.
- The main use of the
Octopus tablet will be for early game money making through catching
Raw Whale, so this is likely to be the best choice, but some earlier options are available. Even options such as
Raw Carp have a relatively low quantity requirement, but the player will likely not have the base income to support tablet making at this early stage.
Pig secondaries have two sources. Early on, the cooked fish produced from utilising the
Octopus +
Pig synergy alone will cover the cost. Later on,
Standard Resupply and
Generous Resupply can be used to easily fund this tablet.
- For
Crow we choose
Steam Rune as this is the fastest rune to produce due to the
Crow +
Octopus synergy. This rune also gives the highest experience out of any
Water Rune-based combination rune.
- We use
Ruby jewellery for
Monkey as
Emerald and
Diamond have other uses. When the cost drops with mastery levels eventually you can swap to
Silver Sapphire Necklace. We choose to use silver over gold as
Gold Bar are more useful overall than
Silver Bar when compared 1:1. The choice of necklace over ring is because necklaces have slightly higher sell value, so they have a few breakpoints (e.g.
Gold Emerald Necklace vs
Gold Emerald Ring between 10-19
Monkey mastery) where there are fewer necklaces required than the corresponding ring. Sticking to one specific one is also better to utilise
Crafting mastery better when producing the jewellery.
- For
Salamander the
Gold Bar is preferable to the
Mithril Bar as it has fewer uses and a lower cost, but both are options if the player has an abundance of one bar over the others.
- For
Devil simply swap whenever the price of
Sapphire floors out at 1.
