What could they be for? Who put them there? And what do they have to do with our new members-only skill, Summoning? One obelisk in particular has been causing trouble for Taverley's most well-known summoner, Pikkupstix, as a giant wolpertinger has used it to break free from the spirit plane. This pesky rabbit, wolf, reindeer...thing is now munching on Pikkupstix's bedclothes, and the druid needs your help to do a spot of banishing... So begins this week's Wolf Whistle quest, which you will need to complete if you wish to start training the Summoning skill, in much the same way as Druidic Ritual opens up the Herblore skill. To get more information on how to start Summoning, visit the Summoning - The Basics page in our Knowledge Base. Once you have completed the Wolf Whistle quest, you can begin raising your stats on your way to the Summoning skillcape! Some of the familiars you summon can help in combat, healing you or attacking with claws, paws, missiles or magic. This is reflected in an increase to the maximum Combat level, taking it to 138. This increased Combat level is not visible on free worlds. Other familiars aid you outside of combat, including the ability to store items for you - like the pack yak, which acts as a temporary bank for 10 of your items. Some have slightly...stranger effects. Might 'Fish Rain' interest you? New creatures - barker toad and bunyip - share room with those that are more 'familiar', like the smoke devil (the relative of the dust devil) and the spirit dagannoth. Those with a high enough Summoning level will even be able to talk to them - but beware, they aren't used to talking to humans... You will recognise many familiars from previous newsposts, wallpapers, Development Diaries and Postbags from the Hedge, while others will be a complete surprise! There is such a wealth of familiars - 53 in fact - that it'll take months for even the most persistent to master their abilities, special moves and Summoning requirements. In addition, high-level Summoners will unlock an array of 22 new pets. New dogs are at the lowest level, while the hardest pet to tame is...drum-roll...a dragon! Phew! There is barely a moment to remind you of the extra batch of Summoning familiars and pets coming next month. If you think some of the creatures in this update are big, wait till you see what February brings... Summary Where to start Wolf Whistle: Pikkupstix's house in the center of Taverley. Requirements to complete Wolf Whistle: None! Access to: A new members-only skill! Over 70 new creatures A new maximum Combat level of 138 for members Many new Summoning NPCs and items A Summoning skillcape for the very best Dominion's response: With the (eventual) onset of yet another skill added to the endless RPG at RuneScape, we are also rewarded with yet another of the countless log-in page backgrounds. Woo. I still can't get sound to work with Windows Vista, even though I have a 24-bit sound card, but I can imagine they also introduced a special new log-in song just for the occasion. The interface for in-game has also upgraded, and the bank size has been increased. If anyone wishes to submit the quest guide for Wolf Whistle, be sure to visit the Quests forum, located under our RuneScape category of the forums. I have moved the remainder of my response to the third post of this thread, to reduce the load time for low-end users, whom wish to read just the news article, and press the ESC key to pause loading, before it reaches the images on the second post.

Check below... - Pet - Summoning Level Required - Source - Notes - Adult Form - Guthix raptor * - 70 - Birds' nests - Egg must be incubated at a pet shop, Eats ground Fishing bait as a chick, Eats Fishing bait when older - - Saradomin owl * - 70 - Birds' nests - Egg must be incubated at a pet shop, Eats ground Fishing bait as a chick, Eats Fishing bait when older - - Zamorak hawk * - 70 - Birds' nests - Egg must be incubated at a pet shop, Eats ground Fishing bait as a chick, Eats Fishing bait when older - * Note that, unlike all of the other pets, the Guthix raptor, Saradomin owl and Zamorak hawk all have three stages of growth: chick, bird and raptor/owl/hawk. There are pets you can own and still be a pure anti-combat fame of game. The following pets require a summoning level of 1. - Pet - Summoning Level Required - Source - Notes - Adult Form - Bulldog - 1 - Pet shops - Eats raw meat (not fish) - - Dalmatian - 1 - Pet shops - Eats raw meat (not fish) - - Greyhound - 1 - Pet shops - Eats raw meat (not fish) - - Labrador - 1 - Pet shops - Eats raw meat (not fish) - - Sheepdog - 1 - Pet shops - Eats raw meat (not fish) - - Terrier - 1 - Pet shops - Eats raw meat (not fish) -

NGoR Elder Posts: 16,961 Group: Architect Member #1 Joined: 4-Dec 2003	The location of the Summoning Obelisks are as follows: The location of the Pet Shops and Incubators are as follows: The location of the Multicombat Areas are as follows: In addition, the following dungeon areas are largely multicombat: * Varrock Sewers * Chaos Tunnels * Waterbirth Island Dungeon * Falador Mole Lair * Kalphite Lair * Ourania Cave * TzHaar * God Wars Dungeon * Stronghold of Security - Vault of War Many minigames are also multicombat, so you may find them a useful way of earning a few Summoning levels. The following games are in multicombat areas: * Bounty Hunter * Castle Wars * Clan Wars * The Duel Arena (Summoning can be disabled) * TzHaar Fight Pit

NGoR Elder Posts: 16,961 Group: Architect Member #1 Joined: 4-Dec 2003	Merxese: Now that I finally have finished the guide on forum, until later date that I have time to make an HTML page for the skill guide at NGoR HQ, and I worked my way around the image limit per post, to have the guide done for the quick reference of the world to use, I can begin work at the game. I will not level my summoning, due to the fact that I am a pure. The best pure anti-combat that our members server (and perhaps even free server) has. But, I shall add to my pure anti-combat guide, as to how we are allowed to own summoning level 1 pets, and not worry of gaining unwanted combat levels. And then I will go into the game, to buy the food at Grand Exchange for such pets, and buy the pets from the store.
