    Lightbulb [OSRS] Cannoning Ice Trolls - Ranged Guide

    Intro
    Tired of getting slow/difficult exp with cheap and traditional training methods or spending your load on cannonballs or chins? Try out ice troll cannoning! Get 60-80k range exp per hour and make your money back from cannonballs along with a slight profit. This can also help with knocking out troll slayer task really fast.

    Requirements
    Quest: Dwarf Cannon, Freminnik Trials, Freminnik Isles (started)
    Minimum Skills: 60 range or 60 Atk/Str, 40 defense, 43 prayer. These are definitely the bare-bone minimum requirements. Skills higher than this will definitely increase the profit and exp per hour.
    Suggested Skills: 70range or 70 Atk/Str, 60 defense, 43+ prayer.

    Equipment and Inventory

    You must always use the freminnik round shield! The ranged female throwing trolls will hit max 5s instead of 2s without it. This will definitely increase damage taken significantly. Also they are believed to pierce armour (not confirmed).

    I suggest using a range setup. You will be running around a lot to pick up drops, so this will minimize it when you assist in attacking the trolls.
    Ranged:
    Find a good mix on ranged attack bonus and prayer bonus. This will depend on your prayer level, defense level, ranged level, and how much you are willing to spend on prayer potions.
    Here is my setup
    Melee:
    An advantage to using melee is that you will be able to use armour like proselyte without using range bonus, this will definitely want gp gainz 420 higher. Again, find what suits you in terms of defense, attack, and prayer bonus.

    Banking/Getting There

    Bank at the bridge south in Jatizso. There is also a fish shop and fishing spots there if you are out of food. I actually teleport to my house in relekka and then run back to jatizso to use the altar and save on prayer potions.

    Doing the do

    • The best place to do this is the highlighted island north of Jatizso.
    • Setup your cannon in the middle of the island
    • Check the outer rim for drops often
    • Stay keen on your health and prayer
    • Make sure to always keep melee prayer on
    • Keep the cannon filled up
    • Kill the ranging trolls first, as they are the ones doing damage to you
    • The gaurds will help you out against the trolls, but they are pretty shit


    Drops
    They drop a lot of alchables, so make sure you bring plenty of high alchs. I usually get 125k cash from alchs with 750 cannonballs.

    Big bones (100%)- Leave
    Coins - Leave or take
    Balls of Wool noted - Leave or take (you will get like 150-200 an invy if you take)
    Coal Noted(3) - Take
    Raw Shark noted(2-12?)- Take
    Seaweed noted - Take
    Herring noted - Leave
    Law Runes - Take
    Nature runes - Take
    Earth runes (60)- Leave or take
    Mithril sq shield - High Alch
    Adamant Axe - High Alch
    Adamant full helm - High Alch
    Adamant med helm - High Alch
    Steel med helm - Leave
    Black warhammer- High Alch
    Mithril warhammer - High Alch
    Adamant warhammer- High Alch
    Flower Seeds - I take the limp and cactus seeds
    Herb seeds - They seem to drop middle level farming herb seeds. I usually get at least 1 ranarr seed a trip, sometime many more.
    Unids - Pick them up to see what they are, keep what you want
    Granite Shield - Take
    Rune Kiteshield - Take/High Alch
    Rune warhammer - High Alch
    Rare Drop Table

    Looks awesome man! Thanks for taking the time to make it. I know this isn't a botting guide, but it is a botting website, so I might suggest you blur your in game display name.

    I'm gonna have to give this a try once I'm done trying to amass cannonballs. Is there any others places that offer the same xp/h and gp return rate? This has me wanting to attempt trying to make a loot/alch script to use with cannons..

    There is definitely places with better xp/h rates, but definitely not as good gp return rate. This is the best place I have found.

    Thanks, good to know. Anywhere that generates the amount spent to train would be plenty enough for me right now, even if I have to cover my own food.
    I just restarted a character on OSRS and am gonna be trying my hand at a few personal scripts. I'm a bit rusty.

    I remember reading a tutorial on this back in 09. I was really eager to complete fremennik isles. Ah the memories.
