I'd love to know where does this sb drop and which are the mobs that drop it and their lv...and I'd also like to know why it's not always available (at least for the first 24 hs) in the Goddard and Rune shops (which means that I'll have to sit there and try every half hour or so to buy it, which is pretty annoying...)
By the way, Kiroth and others who probably want to know:
Base cast time (defined as cast time if you have 333 speed) is 15 second cast, 7 minute cooldown.
With +4 WIT, BW robes, and an Acumen weapon a Phantom Summoner has 564 speed, 733 with Acumen 3, and 953 with Dance of Concentration.
At 953 cast speed it would take just under 2.5 minutes per person to summon them. You could pull a full party to your location in 20 minutes. You can do it in 18 minutes off of that if you were in DC or Tallum robes.
Yeah, you just stand still for 15 seconds, the player you're summoning (who needs to be in your party -- you can target a party member anywhere in Aden) gets a popup asking if they want to be summoned, as soon as they press OK they are ported right on top of you.
They could at least have given it a summoning animation, if I don't look busy my boss (the CL) will fire me! ;)
Yeah, wish the reuse was shorter. The use I had envisioned for it was conserving red dimension stones on TOI hunts, since they nerfed the ports. By the time you spend 20 min doing that, you've barely saved any time at all.
Useful for single friend transport, i'll use it when we pull in replacement group members for places like TOI or the L room but other than that it's merely nifty. Also good for having a person restock for whole group.

I think it's most helpfull on Necros and WK's.
I say this cause thouse are the two most likely For PvP summoning.
Queens for archers, and necros massive PvP capeablities.
umm it pulls a singer person to you dude. I actually used it over a dozen times today, it's really a convenience spell and all of my friends or regular hunting mates have summon crystals on them now just for the sheer ease of restock or movement.
The "Summon Friend" skill, which enables a Summoner to summon party members, has been added. Elemental Summoners, Phantom Summoners, and Warlocks can acquire this skill at level 56.
I dont see anything about Necros there? Or is it just that NC forgot to add Necros to the patch notes?
I picked up the skill last night (got 3 of the SB's since there are 2 other summoners in the clan). I used it several times. I didnt' time it but it seemed like the cool down is only 2-3 minutes, not 7. Very useful though, I was able to pull a SE and ES from Schuttgart to Apostate, saved a lot of time. Didn't have to loose room, didn't have to run to gateroom and guide them in, just stepped into the hall and...........done deal, get back to fighting.......

I like this one!
Base cast speed is what the numbers come from, teh base cast speed ingame is 333.
if you got 666 cast speed the cooldown is halved example, 1332 cast speed and it's halved again.
Just curious but where did you get teh 7 min base recast from? I have 420 cast speed and it seems about 2-3 min instead of 5.6 recast which would put the base at 2.5-3.8 minutes.
Or it's a quick buy from a spellbook shop in goddard or Rune. Also chain summoning is not a quick or feasible option, it gets you one person every few minutes.
