Changes and charms[]
Summoning in Dungeoneering is different from Summoning in the rest of RuneScape. One notable difference is that standard Summoning includes familiars ranging from low to high levels for each of the charms. There are low-levelled blue charm familiars, such as spirit kalphites, and high-levelled gold charm familiars, such as arctic bears. In Daemonheim, however, all the lowest levelled Summoning familiars use gold charms, the next highest use green charms, the next highest use crimson, and then all the highest levelled familiars use blue charms.
To be able to summon familiars, players must be raiding a dungeon of complexity 5 or greater. The update on the 28 April 2010 removed the need to purchase shards and pouches. Charms and secondary components are all that is required to create Summoning pouches in Daemonheim.
Charms can be downgraded to lower tier charms by using them on an obelisk in the dungeon. For example, a crimson charm may be downgraded to a green or gold charm. This effectively means that a blue charm can be used to create any pouch, a crimson charm can be used to create pouches requiring gold, green or crimson charms, and green charms can be used to create pouches requiring green or gold charms. Gold charms cannot be downgraded.
Familiars[]
Familiars can be divided into the following categories:
- Bloodragers - Melee
- Deathslingers - Ranged
- Stormbringers - Magic
- Hoardstalkers - Skill/Forager
- Worldbearers - Beast of burden
- Skinweavers - Healer
There are 10 tiers of each type of familiar, they are:
- Cub
- Little
- Naïve
- Keen
- Brave
- Brah
- Naabe
- Wise
- Adept
- Sachem
All of the familiars have different time limits depending on their tier and the Summoning level of the player. All the secondary ingredients for the pouches relate to the category of the associated familiar.

Opening doors[]
Whilst exploring dungeons, a Ramokee exile may sometimes be found guarding a doorway. This "rogue" familiar will need to be dismissed in order to move on to the next room. The exiles may also be encountered in free-to-play dungeons.
Players may also encounter an enigmatic hoardstalker that requires a certain Summoning level to be understood. He asks the player a riddle which describes a particular item in his room. Players who do not meet the level requirement to understand the hoardstalker can still give him the correct item to unlock the door(s) in the room.
