Rush to 99: 120 Million+
Detailed
This section will tell you to how to get 99 Summoning the fastest way possible. The disadvantage is, is that it will cost a whopping 120 Million+!
Note: The costs of getting tertiaries are not included since you can choose to get them yourself or buy them and because their price is always changing.
Level 4 - 16:
After you have completed the Wolf Whistle quest you will be level 4 Summoning and you will have received 275 Gold charms. There are two ways. You can either go for Dreadfowls all the way, or switch to Spirit Spiders at level 10. For the first method buy 266 blank pouches, gold charms, raw chickens and 2,128 shard which will cost you around 53.5k and start making Dreadfowl pouches until level 16. The other way requires 95 blank pouches, gold charms, raw chickens and 760 spirit shards to get to level 10. This will cost around 19k. Then 127 blank pouches, gold charms, spider carcasses and 1,016 spirit shards will get you to level 16. This will cost 45k
Note: It is wise to save up all your blue charms for higher levels. Don't waste them yet!
Level 16 - 31:
At level 16 start making Granite Crab pouches until level 19. You need 57 blank pouches, gold charms, iron ore and 399 spirit shards. This will set you back around 10k. The best method would now be to get a lot of crimson charms and make Spirit scorpion pouches until level 31. This requires 131 blank pouches, crimson charms, bronze claws and 7,467 spirit shards. That will set you back a whopping 188k. If you want to use some green charms along the way you can make Compost Mounds at level 28.
Level 31 - 46:
At this stage we will go with Vampire bats because they give good experience and their tertiaries are easy to gather. Costs? 791.7k. Spend your money on 391 blank pouches, crimson charms, vampire dusts and 31,671 spirit shards. If you want to spend a little less you can make Bull Ants using Gold charms at level 40. If you want to use your Green charms you can make Beaver pouches at level 33 and Macaws at level 41.
These two do cost a bit more and give less experience per shard then Vampire Bats.
Level 46 - 49:
Pyrelords until 49. This will require 118 blank pouches, crimson charms, tinderboxes and 13,098 spirit shards. Totaling at 327k. If you want to use some of your Green charms along the way, make Magpie pouches. These cost a bit more and are slower.
Level 49 - 64:
Yes, you read it right. This is going to be a long way. Bloated Leeches are the fastest because of their good experience and easy to gather tertiaries.
You will need 1,466 blank pouches, crimson charms, raw meat and 171,522 shards. This will cost 4.28 million If you want to use other charms besides crimson and you want to keep your costs down you can make Spirit terrorbirds (Gold Charms - level 52). If you want to use Green charms you can make Ibis pouches at level 56. This pouch is slower and more expensive.
Level 64 - 74
Now we're going to make some Stranger Plants. Get 2,448 blank pouches, crimson charms, bagged plants and 313,344 spirit shards. Getting to 74 will cost 7.83 million. If you want to use some other charms along the way you can make Bunyip pouches (green charms - level 68), Fruit Bat pouches (green charms - level 69) or Arctic Bear pouches (gold charms - level 71).
Level 74 - 83:
Now we are going to make Granite Lobsters. This will take 4,843 blank pouches, crimson charms, pieces of Granite (500g) and 803,938 spirit shards. This will be another 20.1 mill.
You can also use your other charms on Forge Regents (green charms - level 76) or Giant Ents (green charms - level 78).
Level 83 - 92
You are almost halfway, don't give up now! Spirit dagannoth until level 85, and then Swamp Titans. You will need 1,605 blank pouches, crimson charms, dagannoth hides and spirit shards until level 85 (costing you 40k), and then 8,746 blank pouches, crimson charms, salamanders and 218,650 spirit shard until level 92. This will cost 5.5 million.
If you want to be (a lot) more cost efficient you can go with spirit dagannoth all the way, saving you a couple of mill!
Note: At level 89 use all your blue charms on Geyser Titans.
Level 92 - 99:
Congratulations! You are now halfway of being a master of Summoning.
You will now make Wolpertingers until 95, then Iron Titans and then continue with Pack Yaks. Getting to 95 requires 5,569 blank pouches, crimson charms, raw rabbits, wolf bones and 1,130,507 shards. That will cost around 28.3 million.
Then Iron Titans until level 96 requires 2,187 blank pouches, crimson charms, iron platebodies and 433,026 spirit shards, costing you 10.8 million.
The final step until 99 requires 7,931 blank pouches, crimson charms, yak hides and 1,673,441 spirit shards. Ending with a 42 million cost.
If you were wondering, you spent around 120 Million+ coins using this method!

Level 40 - 52
Here there are two ways. The first is to continue with Granite Crabs, this is slightly more expensive. The other way is to go with Bull ants. The problem is, is that the tertiary (Marigold) is expensive, and hard to make yourself (in bulk).
For Granite Crabs all the way you'll need 4,002 blank pouches, gold charms, iron ore and 28,014 spirit shards. This step will set you back 700k.
The faster and more cost efficient way is to make Bull Ant pouches. 1,638 blank pouches, gold charms, marigolds and 18,018 spirit shards are needed. This will cost 452k.
If you want to use some of your Green charms along the way, make Magpie pouches. These cost a bit more and are slower.
Level 52 - 74
This is going to be a slow way, but it really saves a lot in costs. Spirit terrorbirds are the way to go now. 14,220 blank pouches, gold charms, raw bird meats and 170,640 spirit shards are needed. This long and hard step will take 4.28 million coins. You can also use Bloated Leeches to level. These are a lot faster, but do cost a lot more.

Note: As soon as you hit 86 you can use all of you spare blue charms to make Rune minotaur (most cost efficient) or you can make Geyser Titans at 89 (Best experience). This isn't described as a main method since the blue charms are not common drops.
Level 83 - 99
We will choose Spirit Dagannoths because of their good experience gain and their amazingly low spirit shard cost. 28,403 blank pouches, crimson charms, dagannoth hides and spirit shards are needed to get to 99! This will cost a mere 740k!
If you feel like dagannoth hides are too hard to gather, you can try to use Spirit terrorbirds. These are 6 times slower to make, but the tertiary is a lot faster to gather. An amazing 151,482 blank pouches, gold charms, raw bird meats and 1,817,784 spirit shards are needed. 45.6 million is the price you will pay for getting 99 Summoning. On your way you can also make Granite Lobsters (crimson charms - level 74), Swamp Titans (crimson charms - level 85), Wolpertingers (crimson charms - level 92), Iron Titans (crimson charms - level 95) and Pack Yaks (crimson charms - level 96) to speed up your training (but spend more cash). If you want to use other charms besides crimson you can make War Tortoises (gold charms - level 67) or Unicorn Stallions (green charms - level 88).
Note: When you hit 86 you can use all of your blue charms on Rune Minotaurs or use them at level 89 on Geyser Titans. Rune minotaurs give more experience per shard, but Geyser Titans tertiary is a lot less expensive.
This way has cost you around 26.4 - 71.3 Million.

If you want to stick with War Tortoises (slightly slower and more costly, but easier to gather tertiaries) you'll need 161,035 blank pouches, gold charms, tortoise shells and spirit shards.

This slow but cost effective step has cost you 2 - 5.9 million!
