What order do I setup the Dwarf Multi-cannon ?
To successfully setup a Dwarf Multi-cannon, you will need to first place down the base, then the cannon stand. Next you place the barrel on the stand and finally place the furnace on the cannon. You should now have a complete and working Dwarf Multi-cannon ready to destroy your enemies.
Now you will need to load in your steel cannon balls, which the cannon can hold 30 balls at a time. After these run out you will have to reload the cannon.
Which bows can non-members use?
Standard Short/Longbows
Oak Short/Longbows
Willow Short/Longbows
Maple Short/Longbows
When can you claim on the Dwarf Multi-cannon Warranty?
The Dwarf Multi-cannon can only be claimed back using the Dwarf Cannon Warranty.
A Dwarf Multi-cannon, or missing parts of a Dwarf Multi-cannon, can be claimed if you either die whilst it is set up, or it rusts.
You cannot reclaim your Dwarf Multi-cannon if you are killed and do not have the Cannon as one of your three kept items, you trade it, drop it, or use the High-Alchemy spell on it.
My cannon has disappeared. I was standing next to it and nobody has stolen it. What happened?
The Dwarf Multi-cannon decays after a certain amount of time. When this happens, the cannon will vanish and you will need to go and see Nulodion the Dwarf Engineer. He will be able to supply you with another.
Sometimes my Dwarf Multi-cannon shoots twice, what is going on?
Indeed the Dwarf Multi-cannon is known occasionally to fire twice at a single target.
This is the way the dwarves originally intended for the cannon to work.
The reason it now fires only one at a time is that, with the cannon firing continually at the higher speed, the dwarf engineers could not keep it cool enough, resulting in the barrel melting slightly. The cannon balls would then begin to damage the inside of the cannon, until it blocked up completely and its furnace exploded.
You need not worry though, the occasional double shot will not cause you or the cannon any harm.
How do I train my ranged skill?
Remember, you have the ability to attack your opponent from a distance. Think creatively! When possible, use fences, gates and obstacles to your advantage. You will gain a greater advantage over your opponent by doing so, especially when fighting melee opponents.
Give yourself adequate protection by wearing the best ranger’s armour you can acquire. If you do not have ranger’s armour, then wear any armour that does not reduce your bonuses.
It is a good idea to start with simple creatures. Training on low level creatures requires fewer arrows, and helps to build up you ranged level faster.
As your ranged skill improves, gradually move on to tougher opponents. Before progressing onto tougher creatures, try to get the best weapon available to you at your current level.
Finally, you could consider training against other players in Castle wars, the Duel Arena, Tzhaar pits and the Wilderness.
Someone stole my arrows! will you ban them?
When arrows fall to the ground, you have a fair amount of time to pick them up before other players can see them. Dependant on how you like to train, you will have to decide if you want to slow down training to pick arrows up again.
What affects my max hit?
The things that will affect your maximum hit with ranged are the type of weapon, and the material it is made from, along with the material of your ammunition.
