Guthan's or 68 Summoning?

Featured Replies

How much would either be? I know a Bunyip is more effective at the healing role, but it should cost way more, right (my Summoning is currently 27).

guthans buddy. 68 would be boring to get...just get guthans far cheaper as well like u said... :P

Sommoning is the most underrated skill I have ever seen. Get 69. You will then have a Bunyip, terrorbird, war tortoise, and fruit bat, which is the best forager, imo. It forages watermelon seeds currently worth 3.4k ea.

Personally I'd summon. But I'm a massive fan of summoning.

 

Guthans is nice, but summoning opens up massive amounts of options when compared to guthans. But I would seriously work towards them both, guthans and 68/69 summoning allows you to do a lot of things.

I'd get both.

 

 

 

But if you have to choose, I'd go with summoning.

Approximately how much would it cost to get to 68 Summoning though? I have almost full Guthan's, just missing the body/legs.

Depends on how many charms you already have, what sort and your personal preference.

155 crimson charms

 

24 blue charms

I'd reccomend both, but your current amount of charms would get you about 35-ish summoning. I'm too lazy to look it up, try to figure it out using the summoning guide and exp table.

Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it.

Suggestions appreciated

 

This guide is as concise as a gourmet's handbook with the guidelines of "Pick up fork, stab food, insert into your mouth, then chew".

Use guthans to get the summoning level :D

 

 

 

In the long run guthans will be more expensive due to repairing it but its a cheap start.

 

 

 

Summoning starts off being expensive but once you have the level theres no need to carry on paying.

 

 

 

Summoning also gets your total levels up and your combat level.

IM GOING TO LIVE FOREVER .......... or die trying

imo summoning is better...i know i know it take time to get 68 but think about it...you buy guthan plus dont forget the repair cost..summoning is the way to go...but again its personaly choice

Use guthans to collect the charms for 68 then sell it?

Big thanks to Stevepole for the signature!^

yeap dan is right...or you can totaly forget guthans and just go slayer tasks and collect charms

This is what I do for summoning/slayer/combat....

 

 

 

This is the best armour defence you can get from barrows. Boots/gauntlets are optional but there is nothing that is a whole lot better.

 

 

 

these stats can be found by searching barrows armour stats on google search...zybez has great charts on bonuses. all of this by todays prices will cost around 2.1mish...that might have changed from the 2 days ago that i checked it. But you get the rough price.

 

 

 

Dharoks chest/legs

 

Torag helm

 

Dragon boots

 

Dragon gauntlets

 

rune defender or obsidian shield your preference ( i choose defender)

 

Str amulet

 

ring of wealth (just cuz)

 

obby cape

 

and of course your choice of weapon.

 

 

 

And go train slayer cuz slayer monsters drop A LOT of charms. I trained slayer from 40-50 and was able to get summoning up to 48with the charms I picked up. By using the armour set up shown above you will have very good armour w/ whatever weapon you choose and you will be very effective at training slayer and getting charms... By following this guide you will train up to 3 skills at a time...a combat skill/slayer/and summoning.

 

 

 

This set-up leaves you plenty of cash to work w/ summoning. (assuming you could pretty much afford guthans).

 

 

 

So I hope I have helped you out in the least of ways. PM me in game with any questions.

Summoning. There are so many more things other than bunyip/healing familiars that are useful.

Get Summoning for sure.

 

 

 

Only problem is that it will take way longer because your charm count is negligible.

That's really only enough for about lvl 40-50 I think.

 

 

 

If you have the charms, DEFINITELY summoning.

I use bunyip with SGS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthans is nice for lower levels because it can actually heal quite a lot, quite fast.

 

 

 

Bunyip is great when you have higher melee stats because you just need a bit of healing.
