=== Gathering Summoning Marks === | === 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 gaining XP 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 (If playing in {{Icon|Adventure}} mode, the player must also have Summoning unlocked in order to begin finding Summoning Marks). 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 {{Skill|Attack}}, {{Skill|Strength}}, or {{Skill|Defense}} XP and the Mark of the Ent, which is discovered while {{Skill|Woodcutting}}. | |||
'''Once the first Mark for a given Familiar has been found, the player will not find any more marks until they create at least one Summoning Tablet for that familiar.''' | |||
Summoning Marks are not items and will not go to the player's bank. Once found, they instead will fill the progress bar towards leveling up the mark level for the appropriate familiar. The number of marks per level and the benefits are as follows: | |||

=== Gaining Summoning XP === | === Gaining Summoning XP === | ||
=== Using Familiars === | 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. | ||
==== 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. The interval can be reduced to 4.85 seconds if the player has the Forest Trail {{Skill|Agility}} Obstacle. | |||
The number of tablets created can be increased in a number of ways, including the Runic Trail {{Skill|Agility}} Obstacle, the 95% Mastery Pool Checkpoint for Summoning, the {{ItemIcon|Summoning Skillcape}}, and [[Necromancer Potion]]s. | |||
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>\text{XP Gained} = 5 + 2 \times \lfloor \text{Summoning Level Required} \times 0.2 \rfloor</math> | |||
For example, creating {{ItemIcon|Pig}} summoning tablets (requiring {{SkillReq|Summoning|25}} will grant <math>5 + 2 * \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 takes 3 seconds. | |||
XP gained follows a formula that is based on the level of the summon and the amount of time the action took (in seconds): | |||
<math>\text{XP Gained} = \frac{\text{Action Time} \times \text{Summoning Level Required}}{(\text{Summoning Level Required} + 10) \div 10}</math> | |||
For example, when cooking with {{ItemIcon|Pig}} Summoning Tablets equipped ({{SkillReq|Summoning|25}} required) with the default 3 second cooking interval the XP earned will be <math>\frac{3 \times 25}{(25 + 10) \div 10} = 21.4</math> xp. | |||
