Summoning - How Are You Preparing?

[Harrington]

If it's p2p...

 

Then I wont do anything.

 

But if it's f2p...

 

Then I'll just train it.

 

I can't waiT! =P~ :ohnoes:

 

 

 

If you're F2P, then going on current information, about the only thing worth developing might be mining for that new rock. :mrgreen:

[ShadowLatio]

To be honest, I am not going to prepare at all. When it comes out I will just train it to 60 or so and be done with it for a while. I am not the kind of player that is crazy about skills and has to have them as high as possible. No offence to people like that at all. I respect people like that, I just do not have the work ethic to do that. Summoning sounds interesting, but I probably will not enjoy it.

You're my boy blue!

 

Respect.

 

Lol thanks Rah

 

 

 

Ya I might leave aside 2mil or so for the skill now that I think about it.

[Stephleref]

I already had the goal of 91 Runecrafting before new year. :P

 

 

 

But instead of doing ZMI all the way i abyss runecraft so i can make a few mill before Summoning come out.

[Slayr]

I'm not preparing. I preped for like a month for hunter, all to no avail. So this time, I'm not even gonna try. Lol :)

[Ravenkana]

I' will be training at Magnius Mortifer untill the release.

 

I'll be a master summoner by then!

Huh. Never thought of Malignus before. Maybe you'll have to do a quest for him to access summoning? Herblore set the precedent.

[andy_matthews]

I am free user. I get no updates. And I don't care! HA!

[hkscaper]

I'm not going to prepare for it until the DDs give me better ideas about what the skill will use.

[mugged99]

Not much we can do based on current speculation. Erm, the eggs are confirmed, but those are pretty hard to get; im trying to get 1 or 2 from kingdom.

 

 

 

Umm..what else is there?

[Mayjest]

Well, considering what the development diary said yesterday, Chickens will likely be the first animal you learn to summon, and egg will likely be a part of that. So I'm gonna grab about 20 regular eggs just to make sure...

 

 

 

Wait, they're in the Culinaromancer's Chest, aren't they? So I probably don't need to bother with that plan.

[Xx_Flare_xX]

Like the former skills I'm not gonna bother stocking up on supplies.

 

I prefer starting new things from scratch without having tonnes of items.

[Adamfostas]

Just to be different, I'm working on my Smithing. The recent update to the Smithing interface left lots of obvious gaps, which points to an update in the near future. It's possible (disclaimer: I just made this up, I have no evidential basis for it other than guesswork) that we'll need to craft items such as bridles and collars for various of the summoned animals, which would fill the new blanks.

 

 

 

Or, of course, the coming Smithing update could be nothing to do with Summoning, and could instead be a continuation of Devious Minds. So either I get to make Katanas, or I get easier access to high-level products. Either way, I'm going to have a shedload of Mith arrows by the end.

Fair point. I figured that new rock on the recent wallpaper release might be some kind of new ore for mining... smithing has been badly neglected over the last few years and is in desperate need of an update, so you could be right :)

[neonihilist]

I'm doing wc trying to get birds eggs. When I have enough money I'm also going to get logs from miscelania to get birds eggs.

[Rahila]

since the release of the last diary i've thought of a few more:

 

 

 

Once the AI was working (in a very rudimentary state), the first five prototype NPCs were put into production - the macaw, granite crab, gecko, dreadfowl and vampire bat.

 

 

 

-chicken eggs since they announced that a "dreadfowl" will be summonable, and who knows maybe a pet chicken?

 

 

 

-Unicorn Horn, because i've heard many times that in a Postbag issue or something they announced some type of unicorn will be introduced? (not quite sure on this one)

 

 

 

-all hunter traps and supplies, because we will probly be able to hunt some summonable monsters.

 

 

 

-Granite, because of the granite crab, and maybe crab meat too?

 

 

 

-bat bones, because of vampire bats

 

 

 

I'll let you know if i think of any more.

[Harrington]

Yes well we now know for CERTAIN that eggs will have a use in Summoning. So that at least is one item that's worth collecting. Well done to everyone who suggested before the most recent diary release :thumbsup:

[Zheyth]

Ive been collecting eggs from nests.

 

 

 

And set aside a little bit of gp incase. :

[Dboy65]

i want to be prepared but i just HATE hunting.

[spikerkid]

Continues being a f2p noob... *see's summoning update*.. continue being f2p.. *reads all the complaints*.. *people stop training it*.. prices and hype drop.. *buys members*

 

 

 

'bout it.

[ajk822]

dude if ur gunna create a post make sure to get ur facts right.

 

there will not be a new rune.

 

it will not be to hunter as mining is to smithing.

 

and u cant collect eggs there untradable.

Do you work for Jagex? No. Then you can't possibly backup your first two points. Second, eggs have been confirmed as useful for summoning and of course you can collect them... how else have I managed to save 99 so far? Read the other posts about trading speculation.

[Byzantus]

u know those skulls in the wildy? i think u can use them to summon skeletons

[romu000]

iRead ! Simple and somethime fun.

 

 

 

Why preparing on something you don't know.

 

but things can helps :

 

- high skills (done) : whatever you need you can make it or skill to pay it.

 

- Hunter : could help to have a high one (270th cape = done)

 

- Maxing QP (done) : should help a lot to travel all around Gielinor.

 

- having spare cash, just in case

 

- save a bit more bank space than they gave to be easy

 

 

 

And as it will be a hard one (then expensive) : no need to plan getting its cape in a 'couple' of weeks.

[kommunis]

I killed a few vultures.

 

 

 

I like big eggs.

[Mechana2412]

By constantly chopping Oak Trees with a Rabbit's Foot on.

 

 

 

Looking for any Bird's Eggs, Vulture Eggs, Raven Eggs, or Penguin eggs I can find.

 

 

 

Although I'm also semi-stockpiling GP instead of always spending it on useless junk.

[XStorm122096]

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.

 

 

 

That's a pretty good strategy, I think I'll do that when skill somes out, until then I'll just get my hunter up. If it ends up not helping Summoning then I have a couple thou red chins to sell for profit :XD:
