im talking about the one near ur run energy at the top etc, i have never understood why it deceases, as it has no effect on the familiar, is it just another way of seeing how long ur familier's time is left ? =D> , lol its weird being 52 summon and not understanding the skill lmao!

I don't understand your doubt, can you explain it better please?

Summoned familiars now remain for an extended time and do not require renewal. Summoning points are used as a

 

continuous drain, like prayer. These points do not restore themselves - a summoning potion or a visit to a summoning obelisk is needed.

 

 

 

Think of it like Prayer Points.

 

I suggest you also read up on the guide in either Tip.it or the Knowledge Base to further your understanding. ;)

They simply drain while you have a familiar out. Say the familiar you're trying to summon requires an initial 8 points, if you have less, you can't summon it, so you use potions to restore your level. That's it, it just forces you to use super restores/summoning potions.

It decreases so you cant summon a bunch of familiars without restoring your points.

 

 

 

For example, if I summon a bunyip, I lose 7 points and if my summoning points stayed at 61 the entire time it was out, I could summon 8 more bunyips without ever having to recharge my summoning points.
