Summoning is a skill that allows you to create Summoning Tablets for various familiars which provide bonuses to various tasks while equipped. Two types of tablets can be equipped in a single loadout. Some combinations of familiars provide a Synergy effect in addition to their regular benefits when equipped at the same time.

Mechanics

Gathering Summoning Marks

In order to create Summoning Tablets for a given familiar, the player must have at least one of the corresponding Summoning Marks. Summoning Marks for familiars are acquired by completing an action that rewards XP (even if the XP was voided due to an XP cap) in skills other than summoning. The Summoning Marks screen will show the skills that marks can be discovered in for each familiar the player has the level to summon.

Summoning Marks cannot be found until the player has reached the level to create the appropriate tablet. At level 1, there are two Marks that can be found: The Mark of the Golbin Thief, which is discovered while training combat with a style that gains

Attack

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Strength

, or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Defence

XP and the Mark of the Ent, which is discovered while

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Woodcutting

.

Once the first Mark for a given Familiar has been found, the player will not find any more marks of the same Familiar until they find at least one Summoning Tablet for that Familiar. Finding a tablet happens when it enters your bank. This means crafting the tablets with a full bank, resulting in the tablets being voided, will not count as being "found". Tablets found from other sources (IE Township Tasks) will also count as being "found".

Summoning Marks are not items and will not go to the player's bank. Once found, they instead will fill the progress bar towards levelling up the mark level for the appropriate familiar. The number of marks per level and the benefits are as follows:

Level	Marks Needed to Level Up	Cumulative Marks for Level	Benefit
1	1	1	Unlocks the ability to create Summoning Tablets for the familiar
2	5	6	Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 1 familiars
3	10	16	Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 2 familiars
4	15	31	Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 3 familiars
5	15	46	Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 4 familiars
6	15	61	Unlocks the ability to use this familiar in synergies with Tier 5 familiars

Note that:

• Marks for all
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Combat skills (including
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Slayer) have a chance of being obtained on each hit rather than on kill
• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Slayer marks can only be obtained from the player's current Slayer task monster, they cannot be found from other Slayer monsters
• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Prayer marks can only be found when using a prayer that costs points per player attack
• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Magic marks can be found when doing
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Alt. Magic
• Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Strength marks cannot be found when catching fish from the Barbarian Fishing fishing area

Mark Discovery Chance

The chance of discovering a mark for each action is given by the following formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mark Chance} = \frac{\text{Action Time}}{\left ( \text{Tier} + 1 \right )^2 \times 200} \times \text{Equipped Modifier} }[/math]

Where:

• Tier is the familiar's tier
• Equipped Modifier is either:
  • 2.5 if the familiar for which marks are being discovered is equipped & discovered in a non-Combat skill
  • 2 if the familiar is equipped & discovered in a
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Combat skill
  • 1 otherwise
• Action Time is the time the action takes in seconds, which for Combat is the player's attack speed. Note that for the following skills, the value used here is fixed to the following, regardless of the actual time the action takes to complete:

Skill	Seconds per Action
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firemaking	60% of the log's base burn interval
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Cooking	85% of the recipe's base cooking interval
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing	1.7
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fletching	1.3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Crafting	1.65
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting	1.7
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore	1.7
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning	4.85

Note: For

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Firemaking

the highest chance is achieved when burning the log with the highest

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Mastery

level, rather than simply choosing the log with the lowest burn time. See below for more information.

To convert the probability into the number of required actions with a certain confidence, you can use the formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Number of actions with Confidence} = \left\lceil{\frac{\log\left({1-\text{Confidence Chance}}\right)}{\log\left({1-\text{Mark Chance}}\right)}}\right\rceil }[/math]

Where:

• Mark Chance is the Mark Chance from above
• Confidence Chance is the chance that you will have found one mark in the resulting number of actions. For example, if you want to be 50% sure you got one mark in this many actions, use .5 here. If you want to be 90% sure, use .9, etc.

Here is a table for the number of actions needed for a given confidence for marks with fixed interval lengths as an example (these intervals don't change, for the other marks, or other confidence amounts, you can use the formula):

Skill	Summon	Tier	50% Confidence	75% Confidence	90% Confidence	95% Confidence
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smithing	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Salamander	3	1305	2609	4334	5638
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fletching	Beaver	5	3839	7678	12752	16591
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Crafting	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Monkey	3	1344	2688	4465	5809
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Runecrafting	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Crow	2	734	1468	2437	3171
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Herblore	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Bear	3	1305	2609	4334	5638
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Summoning	Fox	5	1029	2058	3418	4446

Maximising Mark Discovery Chance

The chance of acquiring marks over time for a familiar can be increased by:

• Equipping tablets of that same familiar. This multiplies the chance by 2.5x for non-combat skills (excluding
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Alt. Magic), and double the chance for
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Combat skills as well as
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Alt. Magic
• Burning the log with the highest
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Mastery level for
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Firemaking. Due to the fixed action time above varying per log, the log with the highest mastery level is the quickest relative to the base burn interval, which in turn maximises the mark chance
• Minimising the action time for the following resource-consuming skills:
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Cooking,
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Smithing,
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Fletching,
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Crafting,
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Runecrafting, and
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Herblore. This improves the rate at which marks are acquired. For any other skills, changes to the action time have no impact on the rate of mark acquisition, although longer actions are usually preferable to reduce the number of tablets consumed over time
• For
  Error creating thumbnail: File missing
  Combat in particular:
  • Maximising the player's chance to hit will improve the acquisition rate as marks are only rolled on successful hits, not misses
  • Using weapons with special attacks that make multiple attacks does not increase the chance of discovering marks, as the action time used for hits beyond the first is the time since the last hit rather than the base attack interval

Gaining Summoning XP

Once the player has at least one Summoning Mark, they can begin leveling Summoning. There are two ways to gain Summoning XP: Creating Summoning Tablets, and using Summoning Tablets. Note however that only tablet creation grants

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Mastery

XP.

Creating Summoning Tablets

Creating Summoning Tablets is a slow process relative to other artisan skills. Each action takes 5 seconds by default and produces 25 tablets. There are various Boosts that will reduce the interval and increase the amount of tablets produced per craft. The interval reduction and maximum craft amounts for each expansion are as follows:

DLC	Interval		Qty
	-10%	-1s	+31
	-45%	0s	+41
	-6%	-0.5s	+3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing	-5%	-0.6s	+32
Total	-66%	-2.1s	+107

^{Some boosts only apply to a specific realm and some boosts from different expansions may occupy the same equipment slot.}

Regardless of the number of tablets created, the same amount of XP will be earned for each action. The base amount of XP earned is equal to

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{XP Gained} = 5 + 2 \times \lfloor \text{Summoning Level Required} \times 0.2 \rfloor }[/math]

For example, creating

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Pig

summoning tablets (requiring

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Level 25

) will grant [math]\displaystyle{ 5 + 2 \times \lfloor 25 \times 0.2 \rfloor = 15 }[/math] xp.

Using Familiars

Summoning XP can be gained much more quickly by using the Summoning Tablets once created. XP is gained whenever a tablet charge is used. For non-combat tablets, this occurs whenever the player does an action in the relevant skill. For combat tablets, this occurs each time the familiar attack bar fills, which has a base 3 second interval. Additionally,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Occultist

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Witch

Summoning Tablets will only be consumed, and provide XP, through combat, not

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Alt. Magic

.

XP Formula

XP gained for Melvor Summoons follows a formula that is based on the level of the summon and the amount of time the action took (in seconds):

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{XP Gained} = \frac{\text{Action Time} \times \text{Tablet Level} \times 10}{\text{Tablet Level} + 10} \times\text{XP Boosts} }[/math]

Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{XP Boosts} }[/math] is the total amount of Global XP, Summoning Skill XP, Non-Combat Skill XP, and any additional XP modifiers that apply to Summoning.

For example, when cooking with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Pig

Summoning Tablets equipped (

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Level 25

required), an XP Boost of 25% and an action time of 2.55 seconds, the XP earned will be [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{2.55 \times 25 \times 10}{25 + 10} \times 1.25 = 22.7625 }[/math] xp. When tablets are used as part of a synergy, XP will be gained for each tablet used. Both tablets will use the same action time.

AXP Formula

Unlike Melvor Tablets, Abyssal tablets do not use the action interval in the formula. Instead, the AXP formula is based on the abyssal level of the summon:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{AXP Gained} = \frac{(\text{Tablet Abyssal Level} + 120) \times \text{Tablet Abyssal Level}}{2} \times\text{AXP Boosts} }[/math]

Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{AXP Boosts} }[/math] is the total amount of Global AXP, Summoning Skill AXP, Non-Combat Skill AXP, and any additional AXP modifiers that apply to Summoning.

For example, when cooking with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Abyssal Pig

Summoning Tablets equipped (

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Level 20

required) and an AXP Boost of 25%, the AXP earned will be [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{(20 + 120) \times 20}{2} \times 1.25 = 1,750 }[/math] axp. When tablets are used as part of a synergy, AXP will be gained for each tablet used.

Synergies

Main article: Synergy

Some familiars produce an additional effect when both are used at the same time. These combination effects are called Synergies and can be unlocked by reaching a high enough Mark level with both summons. Even if both familiars are equipped, the Synergy effect will not happen unless it is unlocked.

The Mark level required for a synergy is equal to one plus the tier level of the other summon in the synergy. For example, to unlock the synergy between

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Golbin Thief

(Tier 1) and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Minotaur

(Tier 2) the player needs to reach Mark Level 3 for Golbin Thief and Mark Level 2 for Minotaur. While using an unlocked Synergy, a charge will be used from each tablet. These charges are used in addition to any charges that would normally be used for the action. For example, when using the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Ent

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Mole

Synergy (+2% chance per action in Woodcutting to gain a random gem), two Ent tablets and one Mole tablet will be used for each action. For combat tablets, 2 of each tablet will be used. Nearly all combat summons are consumed when the summon attacks. One exception is the

Fox

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Unicorn

Synergy (+150 Flat Hitpoints Regeneration) which is consumed when the player regenerates health.

XP is gained for each tablet used, which means Synergies earn XP faster due to consuming more tablets. As the XP earned scales with action time, the amount of XP earned per tablet can be maximised by choosing the longest action.

Skill Boosts

Main article: Summoning Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

• Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
• Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
• Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
• Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
• Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.

For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
