Summoning

Summoning is the act of calling forth Monsters from the Summon Altar and is the main source of obtaining new Monsters. Other than the required item(s), such as an Unknown Scroll, there is no other additional cost to summon.

## Scroll Summon

The main source of summoning.
Below is a list of all the scrolls currently in-game:

### Standard Scrolls

These are scrolls that can summon Monsters of all attributes, though Light and Dark are at a lower probability.

Below is the approximate ratio of elemental summons to Light & Dark:

 Legendary Summon
 Transcendence Summon

### Elemental Scrolls

These are elemental scrolls that can only summon Fire/Water/Wind Monsters depending on the scroll attribute.

### Light & Darkness Scrolls

These are rarer scrolls that can only summon Light/Dark Monsters.

## Rate UP Summon

See also: Rate UP Summon
Rate UP Summon is a limited time summon that uses Mystical Scrolls. Unlike Mystical Summon, Rate UP Summon does not trigger Altar's Blessing, but the probability of the featured Monster appearing is higher if a 5★ Monster is summoned, and once 200 scrolls are used, the featured Monster is guaranteed to be summoned.

For example, in NA Server as of Apr 12, 2023, Ifrit (Fire) appears at a 0.0077% rate from a Mystical Summon, and a 0.4% rate from a Rate UP Summon.

## Monster Piece Summon

When a total of 20 pieces of an unowned Monster is obtained, that Monster can then be summoned using this method.
This is only applicable for the first summon of that Monster, and subsequent pieces cannot be used to summon that Monster again.

Monster Piece Summon is useful to obtain Monsters from sources other than regular scroll summoning, such as Secret Dungeons and Exchange Pieces Shop.

## Selective Summon

See also: Selective Summon
Selective Summon is a special one-time-per-account only summon that is available from the Guard Journal after Act 1 Chapter 13: Finding Kota quest.

Unlike normal **summons** where all summoned Monsters are immediately added to the Monster Book, Selective Summon allows the Summoner to repeatedly perform 10 summons at a time without committing until the Confirm button is clicked. 30 sets are provided at first, though after using it all up, the Summoner can perform a simple quest (defeat 30 creatures in Rudelin Grassland) to replenish it again. This means the Summoner can carefully curate the sets to select a certain 5★ Monster.

## Summon Mileage

Certain scroll summons have a mileage/usage counter. Once that counter is reached, regardless of what was summoned, a higher tier scroll will be rewarded to the Summoner. This is repeatable and has no limit.

For example, using Mystical Summon or Fire Summon 70 times will net a Legendary Scroll, and 210 times will net 3 Legendary Scrolls.

## Altar's Blessing

There are 2 parts to the altar: a set of 3 5★ Monsters, and a set of 8 4★ Monsters. Both are independent of each other.

When all the slots of a set is filled, every scroll summon that can activate the blessing has a 40% chance to do so, upon which one or both of the following will happen:

* When a 5★ Monster is summoned via a, say, Transcendence Scroll, it has a 40% chance to be one of the 3 5★ Monsters in altar.
* When a 4★ Monster is summoned via a, say, a Legendary Scroll, it has a 40% chance to be one of the 8 4★ Monsters in the altar.

This is useful for re-summoning selected Monsters, usually to obtain pieces in order to further awaken or skill up that Monster, or to increase the Monster Book effect.
