A summoning focus gives an extra 20% Summoning experience when making pouches at an obelisk. This increase affects the base experience, and so combines multiplicatively with other experience buffs. One focus is needed for each pouch made. Originally a Treasure Hunter item, they became obtainable as a drop on 6 June 2017 with the release of Menaphos, being found uncommonly from some of the monsters in the Sophanem Slayer Dungeon.

As a Treasure Hunter item, it could be made by combining one of each type of item produced by a crafting catalyst, namely a leather case, gem focus, and a metal setting. Making 1 focus gives the player 10 bonus experience in Crafting (this is unaffected by bonus experience already available or double XP weekends). A whole stack can be made at once.

Trivia

• Crafting catalysts were removed from Treasure Hunter on 24 November 2014. They were added to Treasure Hunter chests on an unknown date in 2019.
• On 26 November 2014, Mod Obeith stated in a reply to the questioning of the removal of Crafting Catalyst, leather case, gem focus and metal setting from RuneScape completely "Crafting Catalysts have been taken off of TH but the items won from there will not be removed. Therefore unused catalysts, uncombined focuses parts and the completed focuses will not be removed so you are free to keep them and use them when you want."
