Summoning Question please help!

[pkers_bane]

Hi guys, I used to have 1 summoning because it was useless in bounty hunter but now that jagex changed it. I guess I'll have to start training summoning because it's a useful skill.

 

 

 

Now my question might be strange but hopefully you will understand and answer it.

 

I have 70 defense and plan to stay that way for a long time, I'm aiming for 68 summoning because bunyip is the only thing usefull for combat imo, and of course, beast of burden.

 

 

 

Friends, my simple question is: how do you make sure your familiar (terrorbird, giant tort) does not attack, because terrorbirds give controlled exp and tort gives defense.

 

 

 

I heard that it's impossible to get terrorbird to attack green dragons near clan wars, but does the same go to multi places like chaos tunnel? (basically, whats the deal with multi and non multi)

 

 

 

And Dag kings is my way of making money, and I've seen terrorbirds get attacked and retaliate but does giant tort do the same? since they have higher combat, this leads to the question about combat level and monster aggresiveness.

 

So if you dk and use giant tort or terrorbird let me know if you gain any exp when these monster attack.

 

 

 

My friend also tells me that if they get attacked then I will have to keep "calling", does that work? and does that interefere with my combat? (does it make me stop fighting)

 

 

 

thank you, i am really interested in knowing as this is a important decision i have to make

 

 

 

please reply if you have any idea!

The Terrorbird will attack whatever is hitting you, given the time. There's no way to stop it.

 

 

 

The Tortoise on the other hand, will only attack if it itself is hit. Which isn't the case most of the time. But area attacks will trigger it to start attack.

 

 

 

Neither will attack in non-multi areas.

thank you soo much for replying, nobody seems to like to read long paragraphs.

 

 

 

and about what you said. What if i was at greens and a green dragon attacked my terrorbird? dosen't that work since its still non multi. And can you keep on calling it to get it to stop? or does that interefere with fighting

Friends, my simple question is: how do you make sure your familiar (terrorbird, giant tort) does not attack, because terrorbirds give controlled exp and tort gives defense. I think that if you turn your auto retaliate off, it doesn't attack. I could be wrong though, as there wasn't a reason for a familiar not to attack until now.

 

 

 

I heard that it's impossible to get terrorbird to attack green dragons near clan wars, but does the same go to multi places like chaos tunnel? (basically, whats the deal with multi and non multi) It attacks in multi, but not in non multi.

So if you dk and use giant tort or terrorbird let me know if you gain any exp when these monster attack. Yes, why wouldn't it?

 

 

 

My friend also tells me that if they get attacked then I will have to keep "calling", does that work? and does that interefere with my combat? (does it make me stop fighting) It doesn't interfere with combat. You don't have to, but it speeds up the reaction of the familiar.

And Robin, you're wrong. The tortoise is agressive.

thanks, your reply was very clear, I guess I'll have to keep calling it at Dks, and wouldn't non multi work also? since a green dragon can attack my terrorbird/tort before i do.

[Inuashakent]

But if you call it into combat you'll get defense xp...

 

 

 

And it NEVER works in non multi. It won't do anything (combat related)

[BabyPunchers]

Well it depends. At the spot not in the chaos tunnels(forgot where), the green drag will never attack you're Terrorbird. In the chaos tunnels, it'll only attack in retaliation if your terrorbird was attacking it first. The Tortoise wouldn't be hit in either case as Green Drags don't have an area attack.

 

 

 

You can keep calling it to stop it attacking,yes. But that only works too a point. You see, everytime you call a familiar, it resets the attack script. Meaning it'll start attack the monster you're fighting almost immediately. You'd have to be nonstop clicking the button so the terrorbird won't ever get a hit in. Requires a lot of clicking. Too much to be worth it really. =/

 

 

 

Edit:Oh tortoise is agressive?Hm, didn't know that.

[pkers_bane]

wow, so much info i have to take in, so basically tort and terrorbird can't be used for me at DKS :(

 

 

 

O well bunyip is fine :P

 

 

 

EDIT:can you trap your familiar, for example other side of portal, the ladder above DKS, and call it when you need the pots/food, then kill it or "pick it up"

No monster in Runescape attacks familiars first. (Besides the CB right?)

 

 

 

No area attack ever attacks familiars.

"no monster attacks familiars, first"

 

 

 

why are we even having this discussion then? I've personally seen terrorbird attack dks and spinys.

The Dk attacked you, which caused the familiar to attack it, which caused the DK to attack the familiar. If it's not aggressive/not in combat, it will never get hit. (besides pvp)

I'm not sure why you would need a BoB in most training areas, but anyway if it's not in multi they won't attack. Otherwise they will give a few hits.

There are tons of uses for them.
