summoning batch 2 (new updates to summoning)

May 23, 2008 4:10pm CST
its been a while since jagex released the summoning skill. alot of people hated it and thought it was just another money drainer, but then jagex promised us summoning batch 2. now that summoning batch 2 has been out for a while, i have really enjoyed training summoning, but most importantly summoning a familiar. the new batch included new familiar with better abilities. these new additions, have made it very easy for me to train skills faster, and last longer at bosses and slayer task without banking for food. my favourite familiar so far has to be spirit terror bird, it requires lvl 52 summoning to summon, and can hold up to 12 items. this inturn means more food, when im doing slayer task, and doing things which require alot of invo space. secondly the spirit terror birds special move is to heal your run energy and boost agility. now i can run for longer when doing alot of running around. this comes really usefull when i train agility, as i dont have to waste money on energy pots and stuff like that. what are you thought's to these new updates to summoning? also sorry in advance if their are any spelling mistakes =p

I like summoning. I wish they hadn't changed the rock crabs abilities ( his were some of the most useful low level ones ) but otherwise it's all pretty good.

he used to be used as a big net & caught up to bass ( though you didn't get the xp ). You could set him up on one spot then use another fishing method ( harpoon/fishing pole/lobster pot ) on on one of the other spots nearby. You could effectively double your fishing production. Now he only forages for fish ( at a slower rate ) up to cod while your fishing.

thanks for the response, i never new he could actually fish at a different spot. i think you've earned best response from that detailed comment :D

i don't really like summoning because for me it seems hard to raise from level 4..

try doing tears of guthix every week, you should gain a few levels for free

I wasn't a member when they were released but they sure seem cool. I can't wait to try them out and see for myself. They seem quite helpful, especially in those certain instances that you said.

ye they sure are cool, as you get higher summoning, the familiars get even better, and help you out alot in combat and in certain skills

I think summoning is pretty cool! I got a lvl 99 at it.. Not very fast to raise and in the beggining a little expensive. I like it pretty much and for all of you can check my name is Tezz Jr.

i doubt it you are tezz jr, as he is a very skilled person, who has all stats 99, i believe you arnt him because you asked what i think is a really stupid question on essence, for someone who would have 99 rc.
