Gold cannonball
Gold cannonballs are a special type of ammunition that can be used in a dwarf multicannon. They are crafted using 4 gold bars and a cannonball mould, requiring players to have a Smithing level of 91. Once smithed, the player will receive 4 gold cannonballs for each set of materials used.
Using gold cannonballs in the dwarf multicannon provides several benefits over the standard steel cannonballs. When fired, gold cannonballs deal the same base damage as steel cannonballs, but they have a unique property that allows them to provide bonus experience. For every gold cannonball that is used, players receive an extra 1 experience point in Ranged. This makes them particularly appealing for players looking to optimize their experience gains while training Ranged skills.
In addition to their experience benefits, gold cannonballs also have enhanced damage against certain monsters. Both players and monsters can take advantage of the enhanced power of the gold cannonballs, but be mindful: they can also be more expensive to use compared to the other types of cannonballs due to the high cost of gold bars.
Gold cannonballs can be purchased from certain players or made in bulk, making them a choice for experienced players who have access to sufficient gold resources and the required Smithing level. The cannon itself can be set up in various locations across Gielinor, and the cannonballs can be used in both PVP and PVE scenarios.
When choosing to use gold cannonballs, consider the implications of cost versus gain in both experience and combat effectiveness. Players often find that while gold cannonballs can be a significant investment, the benefits of optimized training and increased damage against specific foes can make them worthy of implementation in their combat strategies.
Remember that once gold cannonballs are placed in the multicannon, they are consumed upon firing, so plan your usage accordingly and keep a lookout for your supply of gold bars to ensure you can keep your cannon loaded and firing at your enemies!
