Harrington Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 So at this point we've got at least a month to work various other skills and items before the much anticipated release of Summoning/AnimalLore. Personally, I'm preparing by working on items and skills that I believe will be useful. For about a month before Construction was released, I decided to collect lots of various types of logs. That gamble partially paid off when teak, mahogany and oak logs turned out to be very useful indeed. I hope to repeat this luck with Summoning. Skills worth developing? Hunting : The Development Diary says that Hunting will be to Summoning what Mining is to Smithing. As such, I intend to get at least lvl 90 hunting before the release Runecrafting : They'll probably release a new type of rune for this particular spell (the life rune maybe). I don't know the level, but I'm working on this skill just in case. Mining : That new rock on the Wallpaper section is intriging. I want the mining level to work on it even if it's not related to Summoning Woodcutting : a by product of attempting to secure nests for bird eggs, suspected of being useful for the new skill? Fishing : will you be able to catch high level fish as part of summoning? - sophia1900 Take a Break : take a thirty day break, so you come back refreshed and ready to put some serious hours into the new skill when it's released - Makoto_the_Phoenix Items worth gathering? Pure Essence : I've bought 100k to craft the new rune. Even if there is no new rune, this won't be a complete waste of money Merchanting : Just gather whatever is needed after the skill is released and sell to high level players who are willing to spend millions on the skill early on. - Omali Ashes : awaiting an explanation for this one... - Ollyc3 Energy Drinks : in case the new skill requires lots of running around - Juader Bird Eggs : maybe finally a use for these with Summoning? - Jamesjeffery Cold Hard Cash : some are hoping to power their way up the Summoning ranks by splashing cash on the skill. High level runes : in the likely event that they are also used to cast Summoning spells i.e. nats, deaths etc.. - Solidus_77 Bones : perhaps bones will be used in summoning - Rahila Vulture eggs-by killing vultures - Rahila Raven eggs-found in bird nests - Rahila karamthulhu's - found by killing zombie pirates from rum deal quest. - Rahila bat bones? (fruit bat pic on rs front page) - Rahila wolf bones? (spirit wolf) - Rahila Watch The Dev' Diaries : carefully read each DD released for future clues. - Rcty Quests? Anything related to animals (in case a new quest is created to unlock the skill like they did with Runecraftin). A new quest might require the completion of previous quests such as Gertitudes Cat, IIcthlarin's Little Helper, Rat Catchers etc... - boxer5543 Junkie_Joe made this.... Anyway, what are you guys working on, and what are you collecting? Findings... So far most people are focused on training hunting and merchanting opportunities. There seems to be some general hard feelings amoung F2P that Summoning will not be open to them. Best advise would be that if you intend to save items, make sure they're worthwhile in terms of an alternative usage... just in case Summoning doesn't use them. Possible Relation To Other Skills pure speculation Mining : Summon a beast of burden to carry your ore back to the bank Fletching:Send an animal to go collect flax while you collect it from their habitat - krisc6 Thieving:Summon a loud animal like an eagle to fly past the target and distract them while you pickpocket them. - krisc6 Fishing:Summon a carniverous fish or cat to catch the fish with you quicker - krisc6 Firemake:Summon a baby dragon to light teh logs twice as fast Mining:Summon an animal to bash teh rocks like a rock golem - krisc6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omali Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Personally, I'm going to do what I did with construction: Find out the raw materials as soon as I can, gather them en masse, then sell them to high levels who want to power level the skill and have millions of gp to throw around for what will be extremely over priced items. Selling raw materials for 10x their value because some impatient-to-the-point-of-senseless player needed to get 99 first, ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollyc3 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks :) I'm not sure to be honest, I've just read in few places here that ashes play a part in Summoning.. Probably just a rumour, won't hurt to stock up though if I can get some off exchange :thumbsup: 2376/2376 total achieved - May 2009 Retired Dec 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Not going to. I remember when construction came out, I knew it was coming out and had just recently bought 100k oak logs for ~20 each, sold them the day they came out for about 400 each average ;) Nice 380 profit per, 38M profit, and I was still in the top 20 for construction on the first day. Unfortunately, this time I don't know what'll be used so I can't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayjest Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I think some people think ashes are involved because the only time we've seen 'summoned' creatures they've always dropped ashes when they die. This includes Imps, and I believe Demon's were summoned at some point. Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayjest Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 As for preparing, I am doing very little. Continuing to do... whatever it is I feel like doing in the game. I'm not planning on attempting summoning when it first comes out anyway, if it's anything like previous skills it'll be annoyingly crowded (he says that, expecting that a new skill will automatically have a new area. He also wonders if that's true). I'll probably do what I did for the last two skills, wait a week, then do tears to get myself to level 8 and avoid the very noob areas/monsters.

Y2g2003 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Nothing I'll be doing will be specificly geared towards preparing for summoning. Once my membership gets renewed I want to train Hunter, since I've never got to do it. And I want at least 65 Hunter to catch Imps. Between training Hunter, I wanted to craft Nat Runes for alching, so if the update requires Pure Essence... I might already have some mined by then. If not... I'll just figure out what I need when the skill comes out, and then get it. Personally... I think the rock will be the new essence to make a new rune for this skill. So pure essence might be useless for this skill. R.I.P Shiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabuli Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well if ashes will be used on summoning then vampire dust (or whatever it is) could get an use. :|. Maybe i could gather some of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedidude77 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 i'm getting some extra cash and all the rewards from hunting (fur, [bleep]es, ect.) as well, i'm mining There's no such thing as "wireless."

boxer5543 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well I'm fishing some more fish, because in the first Development Diarie for Summoning the Mods said that they were thinking about making summoning kind of like cat trainign but changed tgier idea, but im just getting fish just to be safe. I also trained Hunting alot, and bought 1k p ess and im thinking of buying some mroe and picking up some ashes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Skills worth developing? Hunting : The Development Diary says that Hunting will be to Summoning what Mining is to Smithing. As such, I intend to get at least lvl 90 hunting before the release Runecrafting : They'll probably release a new type of rune for this particular spell (the life rune maybe). I don't know the level, but I'm working on this skill just in case. Mining : That new rock on the Wallpaper section is intriging. I want the mining level to work on it even if it's not related to Summoning Personally I think peoples reading skill needs developing. The Dev diary CLEARLY states summoning was going to link to hunter when they consider it as "Animal Lore". There is no reference to this being kept in the final re-concept Summoning will be its OWN SKILL, there isn't a SINGLE skill other than magic that uses runes and they also CLEARLY stated the life rune was scraped. As for the rocks, given their height their link to mining is doubtful, yet possible. But your reasons for runecraft and hunter are beyond stupid given what we've been told so far Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
