January 28, 201115 yr Is the dwarf multi cannon an effective way of training range? I cannon for slayer tasks but never really thought about maybe camping at something for 99 range. I'm not too fond or range as a skill but I am going to get a few fire capes to make a few of my goals and having 99 range would make this a bit easier. So would it be a good way of training range to camp at dag's or something like that? how about chaos druids for herbs?
January 28, 201115 yr You could do a ton of cave crawlers (fast ranged xp & effigies) or black demons (medium ranged xp & effigies & good charms). Daggnoth don't have many drops, chaos druids have rather low health. Abberant spectres are a good break-even option. Finally, wallasalkis can be decent with a cannon, but no more than decent I think. They drop blue charms quite often, and skeletal boots/gloves & armour which make it break-even with a yak.

January 28, 201115 yr I would only cannon cave crawlers (effigies/herbs), ab specs (herbs), wallasalkis (blue charms) or scarabites/black demons (crim charms) in your case. It's going to be expensive but yes you could do it. ~It's Super Effective!

January 28, 201115 yr Author Yeh I may think about doing cave crawlers once I get yak, seeming as banking would take the xp/h rate down dramatically. What would the cost be like compared to chinning?

January 28, 201115 yr Chinning is loads cheaper, faster as well, and probably worth it.

January 28, 201115 yr Author Hmm, so there is not really much way to profit with a cannon when trying to get fast range xp. However I was thinking about chaos druids, because the only have 200lp they should all be 1hit so each kill would cost around 270gp, but with FOG herb gloves and/or a macaw familiar you should profit hugely yes? Even without the gloves / familiar you should profit. Is the xp horrid though?
January 28, 201115 yr Yes. Also, one-hit kills would still only happen 30% of the time.

Is the xp horrid though?I'd assume the exp to be pretty bad, especially since you're wasting damage potential by killing monsters with low lp (Like killing chickens with cmaul).

Do ab specs still profit? I faintly remember profiting on slayer tasks while cannoning, but ns anymore. Otherwise, nowadays the only profit you'll get is via xp potential. ~It's Super Effective!

January 28, 201115 yr Author Damn, ok thanks for the help guys. :) I will just stick to slayer and maybe chin if I get inpatient (highly possible)
January 28, 201115 yr Aberrant Spectres would probably profit with a cannon, or come close, depending on how herb prices are. They also wouldn't be too awful for effigies, although I'm yet to test it. http://www.[Caution! Jagex Rule Violation].com
January 29, 201115 yr Unless you dont need the lp xp, i suggest chinning. You gain twice the xp per damage, and you still gain lp xp too. Barrows: Verac- Helm, Brassard x 2,Torag- Body, HammersKaril- CrossbowGuthan- BodyAhrim- Hood, Staff
January 29, 201115 yr The werewolves in Canafis are decent to camp cannon at. Come to my Clan chat (I'm there if I'm online) if you wish to borrow a Green H'ween mask, Blue H'ween Mask, Red H'ween Mask, or Santa for a reasonable price.
