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).

There are several choices of recipe to use for each tablet. Overall, my recommendation for each tablet is | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
! Tablet | |||
! Secondary | |||
|- | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Ent}} | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs}} | |||
|- | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Mole}} | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}} / {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} / {{ItemIcon|Runite Ore}} / {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} | |||
|- | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale}} / {{ItemIcon|Raw Manta Ray}} / {{ItemIcon|Raw Shark}} | |||

| {{ItemIcon|Pig}} | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Whale}} / {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray}} / {{ItemIcon|Shark}} / {{ItemIcon|Crab}} | |||

| {{ItemIcon|Steam Rune}} | |||
|- | |||
| {{ItemIcon|Monkey}} | |||

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 {{ItemIcon|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 {{ItemIcon|Mole}}, you can choose whichever ore you have an abundance of from training {{Skill|Mining}}. I trained mining on {{ItemIcon|Mithril Ore}}, so I had more than enough of this ore to sustain 99 {{ItemIcon|Mole}} mastery. | |||
* The main use of the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} tablet will be for early game money making through catching {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale}}, so this is likely to be the best choice, but some earlier options are available. Even options such as {{ItemIcon|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. | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Pig}} secondaries have two sources. Early on, the cooked fish produced from utilising the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} + {{ItemIcon|Pig}} synergy alone will cover the cost. Later on, {{UpgradeIcon|Standard Resupply}} and {{UpgradeIcon|Generous Resupply}} can be used to easily fund this tablet. | |||
* For {{ItemIcon|Crow}} we choose {{ItemIcon|Steam Rune}} as this is the fastest rune to produce due to the {{ItemIcon|Crow}} + {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} synergy. This rune also gives the highest experience out of any {{ItemIcon|Water Rune}}-based combination rune. | |||
* We use {{ItemIcon|Ruby}} jewellery for {{ItemIcon|Monkey}} as {{ItemIcon|Emerald}} and {{ItemIcon|Diamond}} have other uses. When the cost drops with mastery levels eventually you can swap to {{ItemIcon|Silver Sapphire Ring}}. We choose to use silver over gold as {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}} are more useful overall than {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar}} when compared 1:1. The choice of ring vs necklace is arbitrary, but sticking to one specific one is better to utilise {{Skill|Crafting}} mastery better when producing the jewellery. | |||
* For {{ItemIcon|Salamander}} the {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar}} is preferable to the {{ItemIcon|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 {{ItemIcon|Devil}} simply swap whenever the price of {{ItemIcon|Sapphire}} floors out at 1. | |||
