cannons give 1/4 of ranged xp, not even half. But they are still the fastest way to raise Ranged. But also very expensive. Cannon is usually used to raise Slayer fast, as it allows to complete most of the Slayer assignments 2-3 times faster.

where did you get that from? Cannons give half the xp, not 1/4. They just don't give you hp xp. Plus, cannons are good a dagganoth's under the lighthouse and a few other multi areas.

They can be useful to train alongside with while already ranging. An example of this would be to range Black Dragons with a Rune X-bow in the Taverly Dungeon, and have your cannon setup to help with that range exp even further.

 

 

 

Downsides are the cost for the cannonballs, and that you will not recieve HP exp. Cannons are usually used to get from a low range level to a moderately high level quickly. This is because 1-70 range isn't even 1M exp, so that is less than 300k HP exp lost in 70 levels, whereas 98-99 range is also around the same amount of exp, but is only 1 level worth.

 

 

 

If you decide to use a cannon I suggest only to use it while your range is low, as you are at more of a gain than a loss due to no HP exp.

You are very wrong, cannons give 1/4 xp. For every pt of damage a c-ball does you get 1 range xp!

Please refrain from posting unless you are sure. Tip.it's site guide says:

 

 

 

When using a cannon, you will not receive hitpoints experience and the range experience obtained from it is only 1/2 of the experience obtained using regular ranging weapons. A list of some good training spots (multi-combat areas, of course) using this weapon is provided below:

So to sum it all up, cannons are a waste.. Might as well drop money on the ground and save time. As I said before.

Not a waste for people who want to get slayer lvls up FAST. I hear it earns 20K slayer exp an hour, just using your cannon. Unlike your combat skills, cannon damage in slayer gives the FULL exp that you would usually get by killing a slayer-assigned monster.

It helps a lot to speed up your slayer training ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ otherwise I would not recommend using one for normal range training, i.e. at experiments. A waste of $$ if you ask me.

best for slayer, that is all imo
