Unlike most websites that hav skill guides I don’t believe there’s any point in puting loads of information that your nether going 2 read on it’s pages

*Dwarf Cannons:
You must have completed the Dwarf Cannon Quest to use the cannon. This is the most powerful and expensive ranged weapon in the game. The cannon consists of 4 pieces that you can set up and load with up to 30 cannonballs. Once loaded and fired, the cannon will rotate and shoot a cannonball at every nearby NPC. Cannonballs can be made using a steel bar and an ammo mould. One steel bar yields 4 cannonballs. You can buy a cannon from a dwarf near the Dwarven Mine entrance for 750k or in separate parts.
