Void shifter


 * Not to be confused with Shifter, a monster in the activity Pest Control.

The Void shifter is a Summoning familiar, introduced with the "Summoning 2" update on 31 March 2008. It requires level 34 Summoning. It requires 1 Blue charm, 1 Shifter charm, and 74 Spirit shards. It also provides attack experience when fighting in combat. The ability closely resembles the Ring of life as it teleports you to the Void Knight Outpost if you are below 10% LP. Some people purposely activate its special ability by lowering their LP to quickly get to the Void Knight Outpost, once there, they join a game and their LP is regained.

This familiar is ideal for fighting things that are dangerous, but drop good items. Since players can only wear one ring at a time, they're often torn between wearing the ring of wealth, which helps increase rare drops or the ring of life, which can save you if a battle goes awry. A player can instead just summon the void shifter to substitute for the ring of life while wearing the ring of wealth and doesn't need to worry about restocking on pouches because it is hard to kill and lasts very long.

Void Shifter Pouch
Void Shifter Pouch is made by using a Summoning pouch on a Summoning obelisk with 74 spirit shards, a Blue charm and a Shifter charm in the inventory. Making the pouch earns 59.6 experience points. Using the pouch to summon a Void Shifter gains 0.7 experience points, and costs 4 Summoning points.

Call to arms scroll
Call to Arms scroll enables the use of the Call to Arms special move for all the void familiars. Using the pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 scrolls.

Special move: Call to Arms
Call to Arms is a special move which teleports the player to the Void Knights' Outpost, which features in the Pest Control activity. This special move is shared among the four Void familiars.
