### Summoning
Summoning has been heavily altered.
- The Summoning tab is visible even if you don't have a familiar. Pressing the "Call Pet" button without any active familiar will open a storage where you can store Summoning Pouches. Pouches in the storage can be used to summon familiars without withdrawing them.
- Summoning a familiar no longer destroys the pouch and does not cost any summoning points, although you need to have at least one point to do so and you no longer get exp for opening a pouch.
- The points you used to spend to summon a familiar have been added to the drain rate. The drain rate is now (summoning level required)/(familiar lifespan). Example: a Thorny Snail requires level 13 summoning, and has a default lifespan of 16 minutes, so it will drain 13 points every 16 minutes.
- The lifespan is now tied directly to your remaining Summoning Points. If you reach zero, the familiar will despawn. You can keep a familiar active indefinitely by replenishing your summoning points.
- Because familiars can be dismissed and resummoned immediately, they now start with empty special move points. The recovery rate has been changed from 15 points every 30 seconds to 1 point every 1.8 seconds.
- Exp is gained every minute a familiar is summoned. The amount is the summoning level required for that familiar, plus ten.
- Beast of Burden familiars will automatically pick up items dropped by enemies, if they have room. Beasts of Burden are: Thorny Snail, Spirit Kalphite, Bull Ant, Spirit Terrorbird, War Tortoise, Pack Yak.
- The Pack Yak, if it has its special move scrolls in its inventory, will automatically use those scrolls to deposit dropped items to your bank.
- If there are items you don't want looted, adding the name of the item to your player Ignore List will prevent familiars from picking it up.
- Restrictions preventing Beasts of Burden from carrying untradeable items, expensive items, or rune essence have been removed. To compensate for this, the three Abyssal familiars that can only carry rune essence have had the amount they can carry increased to 18, 24, and 30.
- Summoning points have changed. A familiar's lifespan will not decrease while you have more than zero summoning points, meaning you can maintain the same familiar indefinitely as long as you keep your points topped up.
- This also means you can summon/renew a familiar at zero summoning points, but the timer will start instantly. The points you used to spend to summon a familiar have been added to the drain rate. The drain rate is now (summoning level required)/(familiar lifespan). Example: a Thorny Snail requires level 13 summoning, and has a lifespan of 16 minutes, so it will drain 13 points every 16 minutes.
- Exp is gained every minute a familiar is summoned. The amount is the summoning level required for that familiar, plus ten.
- Making pouches now only costs 1 Spirit Shard per pouch, regardless of pouch type.
