Once a Summoner had completed the quest battle in the level 35 quest , Titan-Egi would replace Topaz Carbuncle. Summon and Summon II were unique in that once Summoners upgrade their Carbuncles to Egis, these upgrades were permanent and applied when level synced. Even should a Summoner have been synced below level 35, so long as they had completed the quest Summon II would continue calling Titan-Egi, complete with the increased potency of its actions. Egi Glamours aside, the only way to truly summon Topaz Carbuncle again was to unequip the and revert to an Arcanist, which had no purpose beyond self-induced challenges.
Summoner pets had mostly the same attributes as their owner, but did not benefit from their owner's racial modifiers or the party bonus, and their job Intelligence modifier was 100 rather than the Arcanist's 105 or Summoner's 115. While they benefited from their owner's Maim and Mend traits, they also had a hidden trait that lowers their damage by 20%.
==Use==
Topaz Carbuncle and Titan-Egi specialized in defense. Their actions both provided , a 30% HP shield. With Egi Assault having only a 30 second recast with two charges, Arcanists and Summoners could easily maintain Stone Wall, granting them impressive durability that could make these summons the safest options for soloing content, or learning and progressing new encounters. In the latter case, this durability complemented the Summoner's ability to support the party with . However, this did come at the cost of Topaz Carbuncle and Titan-Egi having the lowest DPS output of all summons, as not only did their Egi Assault deal no damage, but it would not generate stacks. 
Summon II was an instant cast ability that was off the global cooldown. This allowed players to weave it between global cooldowns after using instant cast spells such as or Egi Assault. It did however share its 3 second recast with and . While in most situations players would call upon their summon of choice before battle and not need to change it, the ability to switch summons on the fly could prove useful in certain situations. For example, during AoE encounters Summoners may have wished to swap out Garuda-Egi for Titan-Egi for , as Titan-Egi's provided superior DPS to Garuda-Egi's , before rapidly switching back to Garuda-Egi for its better overall DPS. The Summoner could also switch to Titan-Egi to quickly apply a Stone Wall before switching back to their DPS summon.
