Summoning

Charms#

Every kill on Olympus has a 1 in 3 chance to drop a charm, and which charm depends on the tier of the monster - decided by the teleport tab it lives on, then by the slayer master that assigns it, and only then by hitpoints:

Tier	Where	Charms
Beginner	Starter zone, Vannaka's tasks	Gold charm
Mid	Mid-game zones, Duradel / Kuradel tasks	Gold charm, Green charm
Endgame	Endgame zones, Sumona / Bravek tasks	Green charm, Crimson charm, Blue charm
Boss	Bosses, delves, raids, Orion's boss tasks	Crimson charm, Blue charm

Crimson and blue charms are endgame and boss only, by design. Charms are not sold anywhere.

Infusing pouches#

The Summoning teleport (Skills tab) lands in the obelisk plaza beside the smithing area at home. Pikkupstix stands there with two shops - Materials I and II - that stock every second ingredient for all 78 familiars, plus empty pouches and Spirit shards. Prices are set from the familiar's level (500 + 250 x level for the ingredient), so nothing here can be flipped elsewhere.

Use a pouch on the obelisk to open the infusion book. Every recipe is charm + shards + one ingredient + a pouch, and every pouch pays its familiar's xp x9.5 - Spirit wolf 47, Steel titan 4,100.

Seventy-eight familiars in all, from level 1 to 99; every one has a working scroll.

Titan familiars: Summoning 100-150#

Past 99, Summoning moves on to five Titan familiars. Each one needs its own Titan charm, plus Spirit shards and an Ichor Mote as the secondary.

Level	Familiar	Charm	Shards	Pouch xp	Notes
100	Hyperion	Hyperion charm	300	8,550	Ranged: a bolt of light
110	Oceanus	Oceanus charm	340	9,500	Magic. Its scroll is a heal: the tide mends you.
125	Cerberus	Cerberus charm	380	10,925
140	Medusa	Medusa charm	420	12,350	Magic: the gaze
150	Minotaur	Minotaur charm	460	14,250	Also carries 30 items, like a Pack yak

Titan charms only come from bosses. They have their own roll, separate from the ordinary charm drop:

• Cerberus, Medusa and the Minotaur of Tartarus drop their own charm 1 kill in 3, and so do the bosses behind Hyperion and Oceanus.
• Every other boss-tier kill has a 1 in 10 chance at a random Titan charm.
• The Box of Charms in the store includes 50 Titan charms.

Titan charms are ordinary items: they drop on the floor like loot and the Charming Imp doesn't touch them.

Familiars fight#

A summoned familiar is not a follower. Every familiar attacks what you attack, dealing a share of your max hit scaled by its level (18% base) - a real number against billion-hitpoint bosses - and its kills count as yours for drops. There is no multi-combat gate; it fights everywhere.

• Scroll specials hit for 4x the familiar's normal blow. Scrolls cost Summoning points.
• Summoning points recharge at any obelisk.
• Beasts of burden (snail, bull ant, terrorbird, tortoise, pack yak) carry for you.
• A familiar lasts its timer (four minutes to just over an hour by species) unless Unbound is taken.

The Pact tree#

The Skilling tab of ::talents has a whole tree for the familiar you already have:

Bulk Infusion is the one to take first if you are training the skill: it lets you infuse from noted ingredients, so a run is no longer capped by the 25-odd un-noted ingredients an inventory holds.

Skilling Points and cash#

Infusing pays Skilling Points and skilling cash like any production skill, scaled to the familiar's level.
