Jeff Delu Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Basically, I'm going to kill black demons with a cannon and range to get 99 range, some effigies, and charms. I'm just making sure a hand cannon+void setup is the best before I spend like 20 hours there. Also, my firemaking is only 77. I'm perfectly fine with getting 99 firemaking before doing this because fm is really no effort now and it's something I'll have to do eventually anyway. However, if the difference in explosion rates is negligible I'll just skip that for now. Oh yeah, also if you have any other suggestions for getting 99 range do let me know :P 2496 total achieved June 30, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Paul Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Are you more interested in charms, effigies, or ranged xp? Hand cannon would be a terrible choice at 77 FM... It is most definitely not negligible. Have you considered cannoning - dwarven cannon, not HC - cave crawlers?

HexiledRazz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The explosion rate is still pretty hefty till the 90s as far as i know. It's suggested to get at least 92 fm before you even think about using the hand cannon anywhere. But even then, it's not very worthwhile to use considering that your cannon will be doing most of the work. Just use a MSB or knives. The accuracy should be enough for black demons(I believe).

Quyneax Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you are getting 99 firemaking first, or could at least, I'd recommend doing so and using handcannon.

Jeff Delu Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Just out of curiosity, if I weren't to get my firemaking up what would the next best option, and how much different would it be in terms of range xp/hour approximately. 2496 total achieved June 30, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You're not 99 fletching yet, so you could cannon and stand in a safespot while fletching broad arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Delu Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 At the loss of some range xp, charms, and effigies which are the reason I'm killing these in the first place. Surely there are many more opportunities to fletch with less loss. 2496 total achieved June 30, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
