DarkX99 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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? :?: 99 WC - 12/20/08! =D99 Defence - 6/19/09! 44,012 to reach it! Aiming for 2000 Total Lvl!

deadngone Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 imo, No. Do slayer normaly and get all your combat stats to 99. Then when your maxed..CANNON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuashakent Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Definitely get the cannon. imo, No. Do slayer normaly and get all your combat stats to 99. Then when your maxed..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.

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) 99 WC - 12/20/08! =D99 Defence - 6/19/09! 44,012 to reach it! Aiming for 2000 Total Lvl!

Inuashakent Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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.

yuyu13 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Dagganoths and Kalphites are the ones I cannon. I'd do dark beasts, too, if I had the slayer level. >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibberEsh Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaffeDennis Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Sorry to hijack but what tasks are good to cannon? Any that are multicombat i guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z0diark Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycai Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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: 95/99 Summoning95/99 Slayer [hide=This is what you look like when you play RS too long][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
