Talk:Dwarf multicannon

I need help!
I just bought a Dwarf Cannon from the Grand Exchange in a set. I completed the quest. How do you set it up? If you know, put it below in the space. I need help. Thanks.
 * Can you leave a Dwarf Multicannon to fend on its own?___________________________________________________________________________________

can you set cannons up in pest control?--Andy mci 20:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot


 * Can anyone confirm that cannons aren't allowed in the slayer caves cuz I'm pretty sure I saw someone using a cannon in the caves awhile ago...00:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Can this be used in the wilderness? --Wiiwantxbox 21:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

It may be, but I doubt it is. Another possibility is that you may use it in early wildy, but not deep. But it would make PK'ing way too easy and I doubt you can.

Cannons CAN be used in the wilderness, they will just not fire at players.

You should really change the 400 charges thing. I just had around 3.5k runs until the decay warning came up.

Yes, the 400 comes from the Runescape guide, but the number of shots before the warning seems to be inconsistent.

?
how do you open up the cannon if its just a dwarf cannon set it says you can use it and drop it but how do u open it to get the pieces? To open all sets, right click on a person in the grand exchange and setlect "sets." You will get an interface showing a bunch of different armour. From there, click the "exchange" option on the cannon set.Mjc3 18:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Must you do the quest to use the cannon? I was under the impression that you only needed the quest to buy it from the npc. What if u buy from a fellow player?

yes you need to do the quest to use the cannon.

Does the cannon's damage depend at all on range level?

Yes, you do not need a certain level to use it but, it will hit high numbers more often if you are a high level.71.122.245.55 22:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The Grand Exchange price is currently 530k. to set up a cannon put down the cannon base then but down the cannon legs, then the barrels, then the furnace

If i set up the cannon at green dragons and died while it was on the ground what happens i really need to know plz

Than your cannon just stays there, and if it is away (that can) than you just can get it bij nulodeon for free ;)

Logging out
I was wondering whether if you log out with the cannon set up, does it go to Nulodian? Or is it lost? (I'm assuming it doesn't automatically appear again when you log in)

As an avid Slayer with poor internet connection, this information would be really useful for me to know. --Alex1908 18:56, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you log out or the cannon decays, you can get it back from Nulodian. --nekobawt 23:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Anyone know where the best place to use this cannon and still make money if you but the cannonballs would really like to know as i need to lvl my range and am quite poor so would like to make money not lose
 * The best place to use the cannon depends on what monster you want to use it on. Lots of different monsters have decent cannon spots. --nekobawt 23:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

God Wars Dungeon
Can this be used safely in the God Wars dungeon, say on the bodyguards for each general? I know it says the actual generals will destroy it, but you could still make a nice profit off the bodyguards. Anyone tried this? 24.129.79.94 03:05, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Cannons cannot be used in the boss rooms, and, if you can set one up anywhere else, it would be pretty suicidal. Alex1908 22:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Whats the max hit? Apollo81001 22:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Hey i brought my cannon for a good deal because its worth it.I practice on lvl 42 moss giants while im using my dharoks greataxe they both hit major 30's

What effects the max hit and the accuracy of the cannon?
My ranged is 47, should I buy a cannon? If yes, plz say what I should train on for exp. Blackhole252talk You should try training on anything that drops good stuff i use my cannon on slayer and on barrows i make a lot of money this way and yes buy a cannon

One thing that seems to affect the effectiveness of a cannon is the effectiveness of the weapon you are weilding. I used a cannon while weilding a bronze axe and it hardly hit more than about 3. I wielded a whip and it went back to normal. O3 Depleter 13:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Factual correction
It is possible to set up the Dwarf Multi-Cannon in the Wizard's Tower. If you want I can provide a screenie or animated gif for use/proof.

Yes it is possible I tryed it and if not made already correct this error. Also remember to sign your post with four tilde (~) in any talk page. Thanks - 03:10, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Multiple Cannons
Are we allowed to use more than 1 cannon?


 * The limit is 1 cannon per person. [[Image:Zaros_tally.PNG‎]]  Oli4burggraa  Talk[[Image:Runecrafter_hat_y.PNG‎]]  08:34, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I think you can own as many as you like, but you can only setup one at a time. Given that most times you loose it you can get it back for free, I don't see that there is any point in owning more than one. O3 Depleter 14:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Decay
I think cannon decay is on a timer, and not based on number of shots, because i got the warning message when it wasn't firing. Maybe there is a minimum number of shots for it to decay, or to start the timer or something. --98.238.208.25 15:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick Question
By using the cannon, can you gain attack exp? -  Chasingu   19:47, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it only gives you Ranged xp. . 19:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh ok. Thanks. Otherwise I would have bought it and it would have been a waste. - [[Image:White party hat.PNG|20px]] Chasingu  Guthix logo.svg 19:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is a timer. You get the warning message after 20mins and then it decays 5 mins after that. When you get the warning message, if you pick up then cannon then re-assemble it the timer resets. You have a point,it depends on the state of your cannon. for me it decays after like 4k cannonballs. If by chance it does decay you can get it back from a guy whos name beggins with n

Update to cannon in 2008
"However, in August 2008, an update was made[source needed] to the dwarf multicannon that expanded the target regions"- This was not an announced update so it won't be found in the archives. Does anyone remember what announced update it came with though? (Might actually have been late July, I can't remember.)
 * I read through every update post in August 2008, and I didn't find it. I'll look through all of 2008, however it will not be found in the Patch Notes archive, since those only started being archived in January 2009.  03:07, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Importance of putting the cannon link on pages where is cannot be taken.
Hey,

I bought a cannon and used it. Thought I might take it to slayer tower and searched the page for cannon. It had no reference, so I took it. This was annoying to find I couldn't use it. Shouldn't it be displayed on the page in which it cant be used?

I agree, dude. It seems the page doesn't include a full list of locations where u can't take it. The list should be expanded (if possible). And yes, the pages for locations where u can't take it should display that either with a template or just a small trivia reference. 23:05, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Kill stealing
Is it just me or are you guys getting tired if training somewhere, and some whiny little runt puts up a cannon..it makes everyone else have to world hop - istnick

Cannon for slayer
This would probably need a whole separate page, but if someone could please compile a list/chart of all the slayer tasks and say whether there are any creatures of each task which can be attacked by cannon, and if so where to find some. I have not slayed in a while as i wish to keep my combat relatively low, but am planning on starting to slay again. When i do, I would like to use cannon on as manyh tasks as possible. If such a list already exists somewhere I'd appreciate a link to it here, Thanks.

Drops?
Do Cannons pickup drop automatically, or do you have to go after them? ~Enlightment~ ~Fighting Vandalism and Watching Unregistereds~ 00:39, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * You have to manually pick up the drops yourself. 00:41, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks alot, and thanks for the rapid response :) ~Enlightment~ ~Fighting Vandalism and Watching Unregistereds~ 00:43, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
