The dream of having a Steel Titan crush your foes. A companion for your adventuring. The deadliest special attacks unleashed on your foe. A cuddly dog following you around runescape. This all can be done with summoning, and a whole lot more…
The summoning skill was a long awaited skill and proved to match construction, for it was a very big skill that all came out at once on January the 15th, 2008.
It is a members only skill which you can only use after you complete the quest Wolf Whistle. Unlike other skills, summoning is a temporary skill, meaning that whatever you do will disappear if time allows. Just like Construction, it has received minor bug fixes and updates after released, but did not get a major update for some time. The summoning skill just like prayer, gets drained slowly when using familiars/having them summoned. It allows players to infuse to essence of a variety of monsters/creatures into what runescape calls summoning pouches, which when used can summon these creatures called familiars. Each familiar has a different ability that requires a summoning scroll, made from the same kind of pouch which is used to use the ability.
