Summoning could have been so wonderful. But when I find out that you can get to 99 summoning without ever summoning a monster... That killed it. I don't mind that:

 

 

 

-It's super expensive

 

-Gold charms take a riduculously long amount of time to get

 

-You lose money doing it

 

 

 

Because it's really cool

 

 

 

But when the focus of the skill is making pouches...

 

 

 

:(

The focus of farming is waiting yet its a good skill.

 

 

 

Change the title; it made me think the smiley face emote was blocked.

Yeah, but Summoning is supposed to be a combat skill. It raises your combat! But to level it you make pouches. How does that work out :-k

Not at all. You get exp from doing farming activities such as planting, picking, checking-health, etc.

 

 

 

In summoning, instead of getting exp from handling and summoning beasts like a proper summoner should, you get exp from making pouches at an altar and you getting better at summoning beasts by doing that... pff.. It is the equivalent of getting firemaking exp for drawing fires on pieces of paper. Jagex obviously wanted to make this skill yet another money drain for elites, not a skill for everyone to enjoy

In summoning you get xp for making pouches.

 

 

 

Which is preserving summons.

 

 

 

Much like runecrafting.

But it's like leveling combat by smithing swords...

Sooooo true, summoning should give you the exp while fightning with your familiar or actually when you sumon it, jagex got wrong the concept about summoning.. hopefully the skill will be better on february..

Lol that quote was highlanders not me ...

Prayer is raised burying bones yet its particular purpose is of combat. This isn't news. :P
