  Unless, you know, Nexon never fixes the glitch and you don't have to spend any gold at all. This is very likely, considering it seems to be an NA-exclusive feature and the NA team is... you know.

  
  
  But seeing how the glitch works, it should take little to no programming knowledge to fix.
  The first issue is them actually realizing the glitch exists.

  Doubt it. TMs =/= SMs. Shadow Crystals don't work in TMs.
  
  Still, it'd be worth trying.

  Nope, tried it. Doesn't work in dungeons either(of course <.<)

  So I finally got my little sister's character through that first Buchanon mission of G11 (the one where you can't bring an RA). Honestly, these things aren't not as great as I was lead to believe. Don't get me wrong they got the job done but on hard mode, they're very inefficient, they aggro quick enough but often will just swarm one thing, and it takes them so long to clear a single wave of monsters that their summon time is almost up by the time you get to the next one. if it weren't for the glitch, this mission would have cost me several hundred k to a mil to finish with the amount of resummons I had to do. All in all, I'd say they're nice but don't overestimate them.

  Someone who kept dying spammed like 6 or 8 HM lions on a run of Golden Apple Adv earlier, which only served to drag out the boss.
  
  Dragged it out so long that people hard to start using Demi and I got crashed out... ;-;
  
  I can see how this would be useful, especially for some Generation SMs, but when wealthy noobs use it and get in the way...

  You can summon them in Falias, regardless of whether you're doing a Gen quest or not.

  No dungeons or Theater Missions.
  
  Only Shadow missions and Falias (guessing since you can summon Adniel there it's considered the shadow realm).

  So are only HM and Elite glitched? Cause I remember someone said ADV are too.. So did you guys buy stacks of 5 or 1 of each to use? I want to spam SMs's today to level up. xD Since I was banned a week.. and I rebirth on Saturday. I like to hit my designated level that i usually rebirth on.

  HM and ADV are glitched, not elite. As for question 2, I've only used the stacks of 5.

  The stack count doesn't matter. If you'll read the previous posts...

  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]No-one has figured out the details of the glitch yet? Really? I find that hard to believe...
  
  Well, just so it's easier to understand, here's what happens.
  
  The only summons that are glitched are Adv and HM Lions.
  When you use an Adv Lion, instead of subtracting an Adv Lion scroll, the game attempts to subtract a HM Lion scroll.
  When you use a HM Lion, instead of subtracting a HM Lion scroll, the game attempts to subtract an Elite Lion scroll
  So basically, someone at Nexon was tired, or not paying attention.[/SPOILER]

  
  
  It's the item itself that's glitched.
  
  Also, as tsukkz said, it's Adv and HM lions, not HM and Elite. If Elite was glitched, it'd be luls.
