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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Summoning

as their last skill. This is quite unfortunate, as

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent

with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Woodcutting

until you unlock

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus

at level 15. Then fish with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus

active until level 25, at which point you can start utilising the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus

+

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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 {{Skill|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

+

synergy while thieving the

. This is one of the best money making methods from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

, only outclassed by high level methods with the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Knight

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Princess

, both of which require Thieving Skillcape and passive slot from

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Farming

as you will be utilising the synergies constantly.

Here are my general recommendations for the main synergies to focus on for each skill:

Woodcutting

Firemaking

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Pig

synergy doesn't work for special fish like   Raw Magic Fish, so use

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Octopus

on its own in this case.

Cooking

  Left   Right Notes


Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ent

synergy for the most part, but

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Salamander

can be used if the cooking interval is quite short. The

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mole

synergy coupled with short duration foods (  Raw Sardine are optimal) is the best source of   Coal Ore in the game, for those who still need it.

Mining

  Left   Right Notes


Error creating thumbnail: File missing

for mining   Rune Essence,

for mining   Silver Ore or   Gold Ore, and

otherwise.

Smithing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Bear

for smelting   Silver Bar or   Gold Bar,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Devil

for anything requiring   Coal Ore and

Crow

otherwise. The

synergy can be dropped in favour of solo

Salamander

if the one has excess preservation (e.g. at 99 mastery).

In addition to this, you have a choice of many recipes to use for each tablet. Overall, my recommendation for each tablet
