Introduction

On the 15th of January 2008, Jagex released an update they had been working on for a very long time. They had been giving out hints for months, and on that one Tuesday, we could all be pleased: Summoning was out!
Summoning creatures can be very helpful. Do you think you have what it takes to have a Magpie help you at thieving? Would you manage to keep up fighting with metal minotaurs? Are you perhaps even taking on the challenge to understand a dragon and master the Summoning skill? Then let's go!

The Start!

Every start is hard... But not this one! To start Summoning, you'll have to complete the Quest which is designed for this: The Wolf Whistle Quest. In this Quest, Pikkupstix will teach you how to summon, though it may be a bit vague to some.
Once you have completed the quest, you will get 275 gold charms and enough experience to get to level 4 Summoning. Before you summon a creature, you will need to create the pouch for it. For every creature pouch you make, you need one empty pouch, a gold, green, crimson, or blue charm, a certain amount of spirit shards, and one item relative to the creature you wish to summon.

Once you have all the items required for a Summoning creature, you will need to go to an obelisk to infuse your pouch with the creature's spirit. There's an obelisk in Pikkupstix's cellar, in Taverley. Now you have a Summoning pouch, hooray!
To summon the creature, right-click the pouch and select 'Summon'. Your creature will now be summoned, and it can now join you in battle or do other helpful things for you.
A Summoning button should now have appeared in the bottom left corner of your side interface. Click it, and it'll bring you to the Summoning interface. It has a series of buttons which will be explained below the following picture.



Green - This shows the amount of special attacks the creature can still perform.
Purple - This shows how many special attack scrolls you have left in your inventory.
Yellow - This displays your Summoning points left and your Summoning level.
Light blue - This displays your creature's timer. If the timer is up the creature will vanish.
White - Clicking this button calls your creature, so it comes to you.
Blue - Clicking this button increases your creature's timer. This will take a set amount of Summoning points varying per creature. This is 1 for the lower levels.
Red - Clicking this button will dismiss your creature. Do this to make your creature vanish.

How To Train

After having done the Wolf Whistle Quest, your Summoning level will be raised to 4. Now, you ask, what is the best way to train this skill quickly? As you may already know, in the lower levels the only thing that gives decent experience is making the pouches. In this chapter we will discuss which way one should train in order to get the levels effectively.

Charms

This is perhaps the most annoying part of summoning: getting the charms. Monsters which drop these usually do not drop them in bunches (only few do), and it isn't a 100% drop. However, there are lots of monsters which drop these, from low level to high level ones! The difference between high and low level monsters is that the high level monsters have a higher charm dropping rate and they are also known to drop higher level charms more often. It may even appear that a monster which is hard to beat drops multiple charms at once!
There are four types of charms: gold, green, crimson and blue. The gold charm is the most common drop, and it requires the lowest level to use.

The table below should give common dropper of the charms. Please note however that if we were to list all monsters which drop charms, it'd take ages for your browser to load all data! That's why we have selected a few monsters which have a considerable drop rate. For all monsters which drop charms, please check out the charms in the items database. It may be useful to know that some, or all, are located in the Chaos Tunnels.

Charm Name	Common Droppers
Gold charm	Abberant spectre, Dagannoth (all levels), Fire Giant, Giant Rock Crab (10), Hellhound, Ice giant, Ice Warrior, Infernal Mage, Jogre, Moss giant, Ogre, Rock Crab
Green charm	Basilisk, Bloodveld, Dagannoth (all levels), Jelly, Jogre, Mithril Dragon, Turoth (all levels), Wild dog, Wolf (all)
Crimson charm	Dagannoth (all levels), Dust Devil, Gargoyle, Greater Demon, Metal Dragons (all), Nechryael, Rock Lobster, Shadow Warrior, Waterfiend,
Blue charm	Kalphite Soldier, Gargoyle
Abyssal charm	Abyssal creatures
Obsidian charm	TzHaar creatures

Making pouches

Seeing as making pouches is the only decent way to gain experience, it is best you read through this part carefully. To make a summoning pouch, you will need an empty pouch, a charm (higher level pouches require higher charms), a certain amount of spirit shards (this varies per creature) and an item relevant to the creature you want to summon. You can buy the empty pouches from Pikkupstix for 1 gp each and you can buy the spirit shards from Pikkupstix for 25 gp each. The charms are monster drops. In the start you are given a certain amount of gold charms which should be able to get you up to at least level 16 Summoning. After this you will have to kill monsters for these charms. Higher level monsters drop higher level charms, so make sure to go on a killing spree! The relative item varies per monster. Some are easier to get than others. This guide should help you on which ones are the easiest to get.

For a list of all obelisks in case these two pathways don't suit you, please visit the Obelisks/Shops part of the guide to view images of where they are at.

Taverley Route

To make pouches the most efficient way through Taverley, you can choose between two forms of transport. You can bank in Falador, but you can also use the hot-air balloon to get to Taverley.

Via Falador

Requirements: None.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), Falador teleport tablet/runes (optional), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional) and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
From Falador, go north along the wall until you reach the Member's gate. Go through it and then continue south until you get to Pikkupstix's house. Once there, go down the ladder and create the pouch you wish you use. Teleport or run back to Falador, deposit your Summoning pouches, withdraw your relative items and repeat!

Via Hot-Air Balloon

Requirements: An Enlightened Journey, level 50 firemaking, need to have unlocked the Castle Wars balloon.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), ring of dueling, normal log, boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional) and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
From Castle Wars, go outside and then north. Travel to Taverley by hot air balloon, then continue north until you get to Pikkupstix's house. Once there, go down the ladder and create the pouch you wish you use. Teleport back to Castle Wars, deposit your Summoning pouches, withdraw your willow log and relative items and repeat! Make sure you replace your ring of dueling when it breaks!

Via Player Owned House (POH)

Requirements: House in Taverley, Glory Amulet in Skill Hall or Portal Room in your house (optional), Ancient magiks unlocked (optional), Canifis Portal (optional).
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), House Teleport Runes/Tablet (1 Law, 1 Earth, 1 Air), Ring of duelling (optional), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional) and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.

First teleport to your house, go outside and head east. Once there, go down the ladder and create the pouch you wish you use. Now there are three methods of getting to a bank.

Method 1: Glory Amulet.
Once finished crafting pouches, return to your house, and then go to your skill hall. Teleport to Edgeville, bank, restock on materials and then teleport back to your house.

Method 2: Teleport Room (Canifis).
Once finished crafting pouches, return to your house, and then go to your portal room. Use the portal to Canifis, bank, restock on materials and then teleport back to your house.

Method 3: Ring of dueling.
Once finished crafting pouches, use your ring of dueling to teleport to Castle Wars. Bank, restock on materials and then teleport back to your house. Make sure you replace your ring of dueling when it breaks!

Via Games Necklace

Requirements: None.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional), and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
When you use your Games necklace, teleport to the Games Room area and head out towards the Rogue's Den. Bank in there and grab all your supplies and head south towards Pikkupstix's house.

Repeat this process by teleporting to the Games Room area and such.

Piscatoris Route

There is yet another effective way to make pouches, which is fairly easier to use than the Taverley method. You must have completed the Swan Song Quest to enter the Piscatoris Fishing Colony and use their bank and you must have completed A Fairy Tale II to use the quick route to Piscatoris itself. Please keep in mind, there are no Summoning Shops in this area, so if you run out of shards, you will have to go back to Taverley for more!

Via Fairy Rings

Requirements: Completed A Fairy Tale II and wielding a Lunar staff or Dramen staff.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional), and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
While in Zanaris, head over to the main Fairy Ring and insert the code AKQ to go straight towards Piscatoris. When you're on Piscatoris, head a little north-east until you reach a trapdoor. Open it and head inside. Continue this path to make your pouches because it's relatively fast if you can put in the code fast and bank fast.

Via Piscatoris Fishing Colony Bank

Requirements: Completed Swan Song.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional), and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
When you're done banking in the bank, go out of the city and go through the underground tunnels until you reach the outside world of Piscatoris. When you're out, head West until you reach the trapdoor and open and go down. Make your pouches and head back to the bank and repeat as many times needed. This is the fastest way to make pouches and requires little things to do it.

Note: You can also bring a Mithril pickaxe (lightest but most powerful pickaxe smart to use if you're saving run power) and mine Iron ore outside of the Fishing Colony, just south of the entrance.

Brimhaven Route

Via Ardougne Boat

Requirements: None.
Bring: 50-60k gp and as many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional), and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
When you're done banking in East Ardougne, head over to the docks and take a trip over to Brimhaven. When you're on Brimhaven, head towards the House Portal and head West and follow the banks of the ocean to get to there. Refer to the Obelisk Locations Section of the guide to see exactly where it is.

When you're done, either teleport to Edgeville and teleport to Ardougne or teleport to Ardougne and continue. This method is NOT advised due to the fact it's long travels and you use a massive amount of runes in the process.

Via Player Owned House (POH)

Requirements: Own a house in Brimhaven (40 Construction).
Bring: Glory amulet charged and as many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirit shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional), and penance gloves (optional). The last three items reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory with the relative item you need for the creature.
Teleport to Edgeville using your glory and grab either the runes needed for your house teleport or a tele-tab and grab your ingredients and such for the pouches. Teleport to your house and head out and go West and along the banks of the ocean until you reach there. Refer to the Obelisk Locations Section of the guide to see exactly where it is.

Repeat this process by teleporting to Edgeville and continuing from there. Also, this method is still not advised due to the time it takes and amount of running needed.
