A few quotes from the Tip.it Summoning Guide. I recommend that you read the whole thing :)

 

 

 

The bulk of summoning experience is earned by creating pouches to summon animals - the experience for actually summoning familiars and using their special spells is only a fraction of that.

 

 

 

........

 

 

 

The most time-consuming part of summoning is acquiring the charms required to make pouches. Charms are not tradable and can only be obtained by killing certain monsters that drop them. In addition, charms may also be obtained from thieving chests in Dorgesh-Kaan. Since the monster drop quantity is usually 0 or 1 (dragons may drop 2 or 3), this takes a great deal of time. Players are expected to collect these through slayer tasks and normal combat training.

 

 

 

Additionally, summoning requires an investment of pure cash, because the shards required to make pouches sell for 25gp at summoning shops. However, some costs can be recovered through selling pouches to other players, hi alching them, or swapping pouches back to an NPC for more shards.

 

 

 

........

 

 

 

After completing the Wolf Whistle quest, players can create their own summoning pouches and scrolls, and use familiars and pets according to their skill level.

 

 

 

Sorry I can't give you a more personal explanation but I only have level 11 Summoning and don't know much about it myself :lol:

You get the majority of xp from creating the pouch, and you get 1 or 2 experience for summoning it :XD: . This is why when the skill first came out, it was dubbed pouchmaking. :lol:

 

 

 

Get charms from monsters, shards from whatever (shop, bogrog), and your second. Charms are untradable.

 

 

 

Tip.it's official Summoning guide will tell you the basics, but I have more in my guide, in my signature. It covers everything you'll need to know.
