It seems like none of the Binding Contract familiars from Archaeology require any progression in the skill to summon, despite the requirements to make the contracts are:

  • 68 Archaeology
  • Dagon Bye Mystery
  • Slayer level to kill and "bind" the demon (with non-slayer demons requiring a slayer level equivalent to their summoning level)

Shouldn't the Binding Contracts at least require level 68 Archaeology & completion of Dagon Bye to summon? It doesn't make sense that something like a Ripper Demon is far superior to a Steel Titan despite having a noticeably lower Summoning level requirement to use, as well as not having ANY Archaeology requirements

This is an intended design feature to allow players who have progressed through Archaeology, to the point of being able to make Binding Contracts, to be able to sell the familiars to those that haven't and make money.
