Time for a Dwarven Cannon?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That lovely little fairy Slayer Master Chaeldar saw fit to assign me to slay 100+ Greater Demons. Nice of her (if it's a her... I can't even be sure).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's just a darn lot of Greaters. So, I'm now considering purchasing a Dwarven Cannon, smelting some cannonballs, and going to work on my range in the Brimhaven dungeon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would this be a good, bad, neutral idea?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I figure:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Brimhaven's dungeon is pretty much out of the way, so I hopefully won't inconvenience my fellow players by bringing a cannon. The two times I've been there, nobody was messing with the Greaters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. If I have to kill 150 of 'em, I'm figuring around 1.2-1.4K cannonballs = ~250K gp. The drops in the Tip.it bestiary seem pretty good, but how likely am I to get a Dragon Spear or a Shield Half? No too likely, I imagine. Just wondering if I can come close to getting like 100-150K in drops along the way to lessen the financial hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Level 3 clue scroll, of course, could prove to be very, very profitable, and I figure with 100+ Greaters, I'd be sure to get one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS - that's about 26K range xp using a cannon. Only enough to go from 60-61.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advice?

The only problem is the dogs, you'll waste a ton of cannonballs on those. Apart from that, it seems like a good idea.

I was hoping I could put the cannon right in the middle and avoid the dogs as best as I could, but you're probably right that they would, eventually, wander into range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That would probably add another 200-500 cannonballs (40-100K). Still feasible, I suppose. And a little more range XP, I guess.
