Hi all, I usually make steel bars and sell them for 600gp, I am, however investigating the possibility of making these into cannonballs to sell for 190-200 each. my questions are these:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems to take a lot of time to make cannonballs from steel bars, is this time well spent or could i get better exp/money from just smelting the bars? (I am smelting at port phasmatys so the bank run isn't very long at all and it can be taken that i have as much iron and coal as i can physically use- that isnt a factor either).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, is there as much of a readily available supply of buyers for cannoballs as there is for steel bars. It's all very well having all this moneysworth of stuff but if i can never sell it, what's the point?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance, Jasquith

Cannonballs are actually pretty hard to sell, and they take a LONG time; the only choice is whether you are in it solely for the money, or if you want more smithing xp as well. If just for money, stick with steel bars.

Because of how slow they are to make, cballs are really slow exp. They're decent cash, but not worth it IMO because the exp is so slow.

Yeah, there's much quicker ways of making money and when you consider the lack of experience, making cannonballs just isn't worth it :(
