Summoning - How Are You Preparing?

[eckythump0]

I shall do what i always do.......... Slay Slay and more Slay when i get a up a few levels then i may look at summoning as i must not be destracted from my 99 Slayer cape (sighs & weeps uncontrollably)

[Bo4345]

Another skill certainly involved will be slayer.

 

from latest development diary:

whether that's the skillcape at level 99, cockatrices at level 43 or just pet dogs at level 1.

 

You need 25slay to kill cockatrices, so maybe you also need that slaylevel to summon them?

 

 

 

Hm mabye they could be a jade vine type of thing

I'm getting cash for summoning and mabye some eggs and bones

[Twc23]

The Guild has been gathering hunting supplies, training, doing everything possible. I've gotten up about 150k essence and plenty of money to buy more.

 

 

 

I'm pretty excited about Summons =D

I'm just trying to get 14m slayer xp (13.68m at the moment) before I get dragged off to summon and raise my combat. However, I do have 7-10 of each of the colored eggs, and got bored and killed vultures for 7 eggs

[gotsol]

just got raven egg at barb assualt pretty happy, might keep training wc to 70 in hopes of a couple more.

[transcript80]

Only put 2M in my kingdom because I needed herbs and tree seeds. Now I hope for some more bird eggs.

 

 

 

For the rest: I think (as stated before) that it will not be possible to sell the items needed for summoning at extreme prices due to the 3k-30k trade limit. So it won't be construction pt2. All items (including the new ones) will have a value represented in the trade window. Therefor, the limit still stands, even when there's no price in the GE yet. The only benefit could be that you can level it very fast yourself, but I think/hope JaGEx learned its lesson with construction. Ususally, they frown upon merchers that want to make a quick gp over the back of power skillers, so I think it will be this way.

[w0ngt0ng]

Well, I'm not sure whether summoning will be F2P, so I'll just wait.

 

 

 

I should probably start collecting chicken eggs...

 

They might have some use.

 

 

 

MIGHT.

[DavidMcC]

everyone thats saying they are going to buy stuff and sell high might have a bit of a tough time doing that now. :wink:

 

 

 

seeing as we cant now due to trade limits. :uhh:

[Darkan420]

I don't believe you...if almost all of the prices in the game are based on the ge price now, how can new items have a price limit without a ge price?

On 22nd November 2007, the MMORPG RuneScape released a message regarding a new update on its homepage, involving the wolpertinger:

 

 

 

"All these questions and more are answered in today's brand new Development Diary (well, okay, maybe not the wolpertinger one just yet)."

 

 

 

This Development Diary talks about the Summoning skill, being released January 2008. This says that the wolpertinger can be one of the creatures that a player could summon.

so we know that its definitely the creature that was disscused in the bts :thumbsup:

[Firebird75]

Even though, it may be F2p I won't train it until the general fracas involved with a new skill dies down 8-)

[zach312]

I will probably level hunting a bit and possibly sell my dragon items. I want to get summoning to at least 50 as soon as possible.

[arrowbld]

i am not preparing since i think it is members

nice find :D

[Catafrato]

I am preparing by raising skills such as Combat, Hunter, Fishing, etc and having 2m sitting in my bank.

because jagex has always assigned a basic value to every item, although now they seem to actually think about what the item should be worth and what people woudl pay for it.. and then with the ge, prices will rise or fall based on how good that assumption was and the demand/ supply from players.... unless they just do like hunter and everything you could possibly need is in 1 shop with set value and probably infinite number

 

 

 

OT: im gathering eggs and those evil squid from rum deal since they have the same name as that one mod's favorite summon Karam-a-thingy :-D

[luker2d2]

assuming i remember correctly im pretty sure fire making is coming into it somewhere. Its a good job most tip it ers have trained the most usless skill in the game. UNTIL NOW!

[Pirate_Felix]

im doing this but im warning you guys, it will drive you mad!

 

 

 

Saved 3 genie lamps and 1 book of knowledge from random event to get a bitta boost in summoning, IT JUST DRIVES ME MAD BC I CANT BANK EM! :x

[Matok]

the only thing i did was completing varroc museum and almost all of the achievment diary but without (!!!) taking the rewards (yea,you cant bank those).

 

Hopefully, if Jagex wont put any first week/month restrictions (though i have the feeling they will) it will give me a nice 26k start :wink:

Tears of Guthix, Lamps(except genie lamps) would not give any xp for summoning for the first 2 weeks just like when hunter came out

[ROSSODIAVOLO]

well my preparation for summoning hasnt been all that great...been hitting all the forums hard for info and stuff, then racking my brain as to what those monsters might need to be summoned

 

 

 

I've already for half decent hunter and I cba lvling it anymore but 74 should give me a decent start if it is involved...

 

 

 

I've collected some random stuff..list as follows

 

 

 

[hide]100 chicken eggs

 

100 frogspawn

 

100 ashes

 

100 raw chicken (undead)

 

50 raw chicken

 

50 vampire dust

 

50 bones

 

50 bat bones

 

50 monkey bones

 

50 wolf bones

 

50 locust meat

 

50 skulls

 

50 tortoise shells

 

50 eagle feathers

 

41 vulture eggs

 

15 raw beef (undead)

 

10 proboscis

 

5 swamp weed

 

1 red egg

 

1 blue egg

 

 

 

plus other normal stuff in my bank like food, chicken feathers. logs etc[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

Once it comes out tho, im gonna work my [wagon] off getting supplies and hopefully get a decent rank in it asap (Eventho they said it'll be slow and expensive :XD: )

 

 

 

Also I had decided to keep a book of knowledge for when it came out, knowing it'd only give me rubbish xp but meh, but then I got the random again and didnt get another book !!!!! :x :x so scrapped that idea and used the one I was carrying with me (It didnt even give me any extra xp eventho it was 2 books worth !!)

Are you playing a different game then we are? Because they didn't say that.

[ROSSODIAVOLO]

While the skill is neither cheap or expensive to train, high-level familiars will obviously cost more to summon than low-level ones, so players will have to weigh the benefits of each familiar against the cost of summoning them. Also, the skill will not initially be a fast skill to train.

 

 

 

 

 

so ok maybe ur right, i should change it to "relatively expensive" :?

thx for updating (i was on a break when hunter came out).

 

Basically, i dont mind waiting few more weeks with the lamps,26k can be a nice boost at any level < 60, i just hope they will be clear about this issue....

[Flodder450]

i log off today by the taverly gate and i stay there!
