Cannon - Worth It?

Featured Replies

In your opinion, is a Cannon worth it for Slayer Tasks?

 

I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Cannon to speed up my tasks, but I'm having doubts that it will cost too much. :?

 

 

 

My stats are in my sig and I have a moderate amount of cash in my bank.

 

I'm not a super serious slayer, but it is my favorite skill.

 

 

 

So, should I buy the Cannon? :?:

imo, No. Do slayer normaly and get all your combat stats to 99. Then when your maxed..CANNON.

Definitely get the cannon.

Think about it. Some tasks are better to cannon then others, so if you get 99 combats and get 0 range xp, you'll be forced to cannon bad tasks.

I'm kinda leaning towards getting the Cannon because of the speed benefits as well as the Range experience.

 

 

 

2 questions though:

 

1) Does the Slayer Profit cover the cannon costs?

 

2) Which tasks are the cannon best used on? (I've got a Abby Spectre Task which I will Cannon [if I get] in Smokey Well)

It will, but even if it doesn't, do it. The speed it increases your slayer xp by makes up for the lost profit. And my slayer guide should help you, but Dark beasts and Dags are what I can think off the top of my head.

Dagganoths and Kalphites are the ones I cannon. I'd do dark beasts, too, if I had the slayer level. >.

Cannoning abberant spectres is a good choice. If you get lucky with the drops, you'll be able to pay back for the cannonballs and finish the task really quickly too.

All serious slayers should buy a cannon, use a cannon vs the following monsters:

 

 

 

abby spectres

 

bloodveld

 

suqah

 

black demons

 

kalphite

 

dagannoth

 

 

 

You can use it vs dark beasts and wyvern too which will help speed up slow tasks.

 

 

 

I may have forgotten a few monsters to cannon so dont flame me :P

Very well worth it. I use a cannon at abby specs in the polliv dungeon, and all I do is wear full prayer gear and bring 1 ppot while cannon does my task for me :thumbsup:

It's more efficient if you make over 400k an hour or so.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
