[[Summoner's Blessed Ring]] is usually the best ring option, sim this against your usual ring choices.

For Gem pick your best % damage summoning gem, these all drop from AoD dungeons except very early gems that you can safely skip.  
Two-handed weapons are strongly recommended during the entire combat section, unless the alternative is required for [[damage reduction]] or the alternative simply does more damage. This is because the [[familiar]]'s hit-chance is based on the player's hit chance.


[[Ancient Infernal Cape]] is your best cape slot pick unless you have relevant skill capes. Run [[Cape of Prat]] if using ranged and don't need the DR. Ancient Fire Cape or [[Skull Cape]] if Infernal is not cleared.
Since the combat portion is heavily focused on using familiars the following requirements are a prerequisite:
* {{SkillReq|Summoning|90}}
* Tortoise Dragon Synergy


I ran [[Summoner's Defender]] until [[Underwater City]], your stats might require a shield though. [[Dragonfire Shield]] is your best defensive option, [[Book of Occults]] for offense but probably not worth farming out (it might outperform defender? Needs simming). Otherwise use a defender(knight's, crystal, pure crystal) for melee, [[Scaled Shield]] is best for Ranged offensive option, [[Blessed Shield]] or [[Magicburn Shield]] for Magic offense.
The minimal and recommended requirements for every individual section is listed within the sections below.


For weapons use your best 1h with a shield option above. The accuracy bonus from 2 handers is usually very good for downing barriers if you don't have any of the shield options above. The familiar weapons are usually bad.
==Preparing for combat==
* Collecting barrier gems -> Archeology

For summons use the highest max hit available to you until you can reasonably craft [[Tortoise]]. [[Tortoise]]/[[Dragon]] is very strong. If you don't have access to Dragon, browse the Tortoise synergies for one that works for you.
