Thinking of how much profit you make at the end of a task is not ideal.

Because the bottom line is, you'll roughly get the same amount of money from drops whether you cannon or not.

 

think of it as a matter of how much time you will save, and how much money in cballs will it cost to save that time.

and maybe consider whether you want melee/ranged xp and what not (I personally don't consider this, but you can)

 

I pretty much cannon everything cannonable

Cballs are pretty cheap to start with, and they're currently at some of the lowest prices they've been at in a long long time.

 

They say cannon accuracy is a mapped from the accuracy of the weapon you're currently using.

Meaning 1 cannonball shot will save you roughly the same amount of time, whether or not the cannon is firing at 5000 cballs or 1000 cballs per hour.

based on this logic, I set up a cannon anywhere I can.

 

One thing to note, is that a cannon his a solid 300 dmg max hit, regardless of what weapons you are wielding.

So the higher your max hit, the less worthwhile the cannon becomes.

(cannon shots are thought to be a map of your accuracy, so your accuracy *might* not be of relevance)

if you have rapier, ext, and maxed equipment, you should be able to make so much money monster hunting, that a cannon is ALWAYS justified even if it's in a single combat zone.
