Troll Slayer Task

[InfamousDuck]

I'm thinking about getting a cannon for a slayer task to kill 121 Trolls and for future tasks, just wondering about how many cannonballs it would take and where a good safe spot. My range level is 56.

 

 

 

Thanks.

Trolls aren't in multi.

 

 

 

Therefore cannon = epic fail

Therefore cannon = epic fail

 

Try to be informed before you call something epic fail, ice trolls are actually good to cannon and arguably better than normal trolls.

as far asa i remember hellhounds arent multi either but a cannon makes ur task last like 3times shorter...

 

 

 

the ice trolls are much better to cannon, u can even gain money while cannoning these.

The creature in runescape called "Troll" to which his question referred exist solely in single way combat area.

 

 

 

Cannon in a single way combat area is a failure.

 

 

 

Therefore to cannon trolls = fail

 

 

 

My commentary offered no view on the ice troll, only on the troll.

He was clearly talking about a troll task, and you can cannon ice trolls for a troll task.

[teatonev]

You can also cannon normal trolls from a safe spot behind the southern tent on death plateau. Not as good as ice trolls but much simpler.

And?

 

 

 

I don't know a lot about ice trolls therefore I did not comment on them in my answer knowing that others would no doubt be able to give better response in regards to them I 100% solely addressed trolls themselves.

 

 

 

NOTHING in my response said you couldn't cannon ice trolls because I said NOTHING about ice trolls, so there was no need for you to call me un-informed or w/e

Your post basically told him to dump the cannon and don't cannon his troll task. You could at least have mentioned ice trolls instead of making it seem like there's no way to cannon a troll task. Besides, as teatonev posted, there is a way to cannon trolls. So yes, I think I did have the right to call you uninformed.

He also pointed out it is ineffective or not as ffective, as with all single way combat the cannon is largely more hassle than it is worth.

 

 

 

Also assuming that I meant all trolls when I simply said Trolls is down right stupid. If I meant all trolls I'd of said all trolls.

 

 

 

I mean if I said "filling a bmw series 3 with diesel = fail" you wouldn't assume I meant all bmw's

 

Or if I said "black roses as a gift = fail" you wouldn't assume I meant all roses

 

 

 

So why would you assume I mean all trolls when I said specifically "Trolls" and shock horror in-game there is many types of troll one of whihc is called "Troll"

So, if someone asked whether filling a newly bought bmw with diesel is a good idea, you would reply with "filling a bmw series 3 with diesel = fail"?

 

 

 

According to this guide, doing troll tasks with a cannon at the death plateau isn't ineffective, it's faster experience than without a cannon. Again, uninformed.

actually its surprising how wrong your original post was. Many ppl cannon reghular trolls. because the trolls cannot attack u behind the tent the cannon will attack ALL of the trolls slowly killing them. I have seen so many experienced players do this. The cannon simply hits one then the next in a fast circulation while u sit back and every now and then kill a stray that wanders in and collect all the runes and granite shields drops:P

[pureprayer]

Paw give it up.

[hyjack01]

Actually, it IS possible to cannon 'normal' trolls in multi. On my last troll task I went to the far north of Death Plateau. Just stand in the gap in between the 2 thrower trolls and you are in multi. I used my cannon and a Geyser Titan there. Sometimes you're attracted out of this small multizone and the throwertrolls can do some nasty hits, but it IS MULTI and it is faster 8-)

[sadukar123]

Paw give it up.

 

He's right you know. As long as you aren't attacked by anything, single combat zones are multicombat to cannons.

[Sy_Accursed]

Well despite what others may say I have yet to see Aanyone use a cannon effectively in any single way combat spots.

 

 

 

Yes if you are completely in a safe spot and don;t get attacked by anything it can work, but compared to being in mutli way and actually getting into the fight yourself the xp is rubbish and it is highly time consuming.

 

 

 

Factor in the fact that these spots are almost never empty and it means in single combat zones you lose 1/2 or more of the spawns to other players and this further crushes the xp rate.

 

 

 

Therefore taking all things into account for the most part trying to cannon standard trolls = epic fail

 

 

 

If you happen upon an empty world yes it may work, but you're far better off cost wise and xp wise in the long run saving cannon for multiway combat areas unless you are using an obscure location that is never has anyone else there.

Have you even read the part about trolls in the link I posted? Both normal trolls and ice trolls are faster to kill with a cannon.

 

 

 

Factor in the fact that these spots are almost never empty and it means in single combat zones you lose 1/2 or more of the spawns to other players and this further crushes the xp rate.

 

 

 

I don't think you've even been to the normal troll cannoning spot. Fact is, cannoning is faster xp (at least, axe man jack says this, and he seems like a reliable source).

I think this is indeed the case for axe man jack's spot, as only people who've read his guide will use it.

 

I think you are making up all kinds of improbable scenario's just to prove your point now.

 

 

 

Enlighten me, how can something be 'for the most part epic fail'? It's either epic fail or not.

[pgmr185]

Paw_Claw, a little bit of advice.

 

 

 

When you find yourself in a hole, it's probably best to stop digging.

I'm not creating improbable scenarios.

 

 

 

I've done slayer and spent a lot of time training with clan mates while they do slayer tasks.

 

 

 

I have not once seen a cannon used in any single way combat zone other than an odd person wandering in setting up firing 30 or so, doing barely any damage as others were already on the spawns then picking the cannon back up and leaving or start to train normally.

 

 

 

I have not read any great stories or guides about cannoning in single combat as great xp or faster than normal training.

 

 

 

All the times I've been around and seen questions asked about assorted monster its only ever been recommended by others to use a cannon in multi combat zones.

 

 

 

Now what I'm saying is yes I can see how if you're not in the fight and a training spot is utterly deserted apart from you that cannoning in single way combat may yield decent xp, but equally I know for a fact that if anybody else is there training away it seems to make cannons useless and anyone who is using them gives up quickly.

 

 

 

Therefore it is easy to conclude that using a cannon to train on trolls, not ice trolls just trolls, is quite likely to be unsuccessful as it would require an empty training spot and trolls are usually fairly busy but also require a specific technique that it seems is quite obscure and not widely known since most I've seen to try cannoning in these places give up whihc suggests it isn't working for them.

[homowz]

man, just stop talking... you are wrong and just admit it!

 

even with 3pll at hellhounds(wich is a lot) you easely kill 2times as fast.

 

also the trolls: ive killed 400+trolls for slayer and trained my str from 85-90 at the trolls and never were there more than 3pll around. since there are like 20 trolls on the plateau, i dont see ur problem. You can easely range them and at the same time have ur cannon kill around 3-4 at the same time. that would mean finisching a task in at least 1/3 of the time used if you would just melee them(if counted the moments when there would be a troll attacking you and the time spend refilling the cannon)

You could have a point, but axe man jack's slayer guide (which I posted a link to) clearly states that cannoning normal trolls, even in single way combat, is faster xp than just meleeing them.

 

 

 

You have not read any great stories or guides about cannoning in single combat as great xp or faster than normal training?

 

What about this thread, the link I posted and hellhounds?

 

 

 

You bring up a lot of points, but you're completely ignoring the facts.

 

 

 

Besides, I think the OP is long done with his troll task.

[sadukar123]

If you spent a lot of time doing Slayer it wouldn't be level 69...

[Troacctid]

The creature in runescape called "Troll" to which his question referred exist solely in single way combat area.

 

I would point out that there isn't a monster in Runescape called "Troll."

 

 

 

There's "Mountain troll" and "Troll general" and "Ice troll" and "River troll" and "Undead troll."

 

 

 

No "Troll."
