Axe Man's Master Slayer Guide says these are decent exp with a cannon, but they seem really slow to me. I am currently burthing these assignments, but should I keep them? :?

if you want support for burthorping them i support, i used to melee pray them but still toooooooooo boooring.

If you have a cannon Black Demons are the way to go.

 

 

 

Melee them while you're supported by your cannon.

 

 

 

The tasks still take a long while, but you'll get loads of xp.

 

 

 

Something like this:

 

 

 

I agree with doing them. Just a few moments ago I powered through an asignment of 150 using just a cannon and mithril bolts. Huge range exp (I think I got just below 100k range exp?), a range level that trip (87 :P ) and you'll get a nice amount of rune drops, at least 3-5 in my experience.

 

 

 

If you're looking for some range levels and have a spare ~1.5kish cballs left (bit less if you're meleeing I guess) then never burthope black demons, great task :)

 

 

 

In my opinion, these guys are fastest exp for slayer after dags and kalphite. If you set up your cannon correctly it should shoot up to 7-8 c balls per revolution + what you hit with your weapon.

You say if you set it up correctly, where exactly would I need to put it? I like the idea of having a task I can rely on for decent ranged exp.

Obviously the exact position is pretty important, if you get it perfect you'll be shooting all the demons that sort of que up to attack you. If you don't you still will shoot nearly all of them :P Here's where I do it which works really good for me, you'll have 4 demons that attack you and one that retreats in the background that gets killed every now and then. (forgot to change the picture from saving as a bmp again ).

 

 

 

 

I can't recall what the [bleep]y thing is called :XD:

Ok that sounds good, on average would you say this to be faster than meleeing with a cannon for support?

Melee would probably be faster there but it's pretty hard because of their accurate ~16 hits, or you have to spend a good amount on p pots. Go for it if you want.

 

 

 

Edit: Actually, forgot it's single combat so it's probably not faster.

If you want melee exp. use a dragon halberd while standing in the range safespot.
