Cannon or black mask?

Featured Replies

I am currently saving up those gps, and I am wondering which to get with them: A cannon or a Black mask? I will be doing a lot of slaying so I am leaning towards the black mask, is this wise? What would you advise?

Depends...

 

 

 

A Black Mask is good for monsters you'll be meleeing. A Cannon is good for exploiting monsters like Kalphites and Trolls for fast experience. I'd say get both, if you can.

If you have to save to buy just one of the items...

 

 

 

Its the black mask all the way.

 

You could buy a cannon, but what about cannonballs?

 

Just get the mask and slay till you can afford a cannon and cballs without breaking the bank.

 

 

 

Good luck

I would say get the Black Mask first, solely because if you have exactly enough to buy a cannon- what are you going to do about cannonballs? Just do slayer with your Black Mask until you can afford a cannon and some cannonballs.

 

 

 

Hope I helped.

I'd get the black mask if I were you. For one, its cheaper, you need to get cannonballs for the cannon as well (Which are close to 160gp a pop), and secondly, most people get really ticked off when you walk into an area and start cannoning all their kills, which is why I don't like using one.

If you are going to train slayer, get a black mask. Period.

 

 

 

Single best item that will help you train. You can cannon, but it only works on a handful of tasks, where a black mask helps you on all of the tasks you chose to melee.

Black mask. Not only do you have to lay out for a cannon you also have to buy cannonballs and these go fast.

 

 

 

Also very few tasks are cannonable in the grand scheme of things so only get a cannon when you can comfortably afford one.

 

 

 

A black mask on the other hand is pretty much an essential slayer item.
