Do you use a cannon on slayer tasks?

Featured Replies

A simple question really. Do you use a cannon on slayer tasks?

 

Personally, I rarely ever use it, mainly because of cost, but also because of the fact that it slows my melee training. I know that you can cover the cost of cannon, but its still an annoyance, especially to keep loading the dang thing.

 

 

 

Thoughts?

I don't use one. I train strength via slayer currently so there's really no point.

You could use one on tasks where its really busy *cough* kalphite's*cough* but I dont have one. Theres nothing I hate more when some high level comes along to kalphite workers sets up his cannon and all of a sudden no kalphite workers left. Luckily some areas are Kalphi (said kalphite by accident) Cannon banned or slayer would be hard

Yes, i use it on most tasks that you can make atleast half of the money back.

 

 

 

Except for things like kalphites, i use it on them.

 

 

 

Well really i use it whenever the guide tells me to <3:

Did you know half the worlds population is below average intelligence?

No, waste of money IMO.

Ive actually cannoned nearly all of my multi-combat tasks as i liked the fast range exp on the way to 99 range.

 

 

 

Also if you can make 350 k + an hour , with 83 slayer you can do this easily ;) then its worth time wise to use a cannon.

I can't afford it. I'd rather just tough it out and stay longer than waste most of my money for quicker xp.

I only used cannon on slay tasks from 65 - 85.

 

 

 

I had the worst luck ever. I was about level 106 at the time, my best drops were usually rune and the only drop that topped that off was an obby cape drop so when I heard people were getting abby whips with ease, I invested all my time and money into getting that 85 slayer.

 

 

 

Once I got it, I never used cannon on slay tasks ever since as it was a waste of money really - unless you can afford it and are going for 50M+ slay exp

I find it expensive and quite annoying and although I need range xp I'd rather get it differently lol.

I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed.

I prefer getting HP xp, but I've used it a few times in slayer comps.

For me, Slaying is a way to train my melee stats. The Slayer level itself is not a goal, so I'm not wasting millions on cannonballs.

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.
