interpret as you may, I personally don't care enough to test it myself :P

 

The cannon hits up to 300 life points with each shot. For 10 life points done by a cannonball, 0.2 Ranged experience is gained. This is different from regular Ranged experience, where 0.4 Ranged experience and 0.133 Constitution experience is gained for each life point of damage.

 

It has been confirmed that equipment attack bonuses and ranged level affect your cannon's accuracy. The attack bonus that affects your cannon's accuracy will be whichever style of attack you're using; if you have 200 ranged bonus using range you'll hit very often, if you have 200 crush bonus but 0 ranged bonus while using a crushing weapon the range will play no effect in your accuracy and you'll hit just as often as if you had 200 ranged bonus using ranged.

 

brings up the interesting question of whether or not void > armadyl if ur cannoning :P

[Obtaurian]

Villandra proved that your ranged level (and thus, level boosts from potions) affects your cannon. I believe you can find her thread on Zybez.

I would say that the pots affect how often you hit, but not how high. The cannon's max hit is fixed at 300 per shot.

[Big_Stingman]

Yes, your ranged level affects cannon accuracy. Thus, pots would increase the chances of hitting.

Exactly

[PereGrin]

I am fairly certain that void does increase the damage that the cannon does. At least from what I have seen, it does.

Wait. Doesn't that contradict itself? 200 range bonus gives high accuracy. 0 range bonus gives you the accuracy of a 200 ranged bonus.

 

Sorry, that makes no sense.

 

Also, I see no reason why void would increase cannon damage, over the 300lp it deals max. Could be wrong...

Are you talking max damage or DPS or how often you hit (accuracy)? Because like others have already stated the cannon has a max it can hit - 300.

[Quyneax]

Wait. Doesn't that contradict itself? 200 range bonus gives high accuracy. 0 range bonus and 200 crush, using crush gives you the accuracy of a 200 ranged bonus.

It's not your ranged attack but your active attack bonus (so, a scimitar on stab would make your cannon less accurate than using slash).

I was whacking level 22 skeletons with an easter carrot, and my cannon couldn't even hit on them. So I can say from experience, attack bonuses do affect cannon's accuracy.
