Adamant cannons are a type of cannon that can be built on a boat, requiring level 30 Ranged to operate. It can be built at specific facility hotspots on the boat, requiring level 69 Sailing and 61 Construction to build, granting 986 Construction experience.

The adamant cannon attacks every 7 ticks, and can fire up to adamant cannonballs (including granite). Crewmates with at least level 3 Privateering can be assigned to operate the cannon, as long as the player has the required unboosted Sailing level.

Only one cannon can be built on a raft and skiff, while a sloop allows two.

Extra Info

  • Cannons benefit from the player’s ranged accuracy and strength bonuses. Ranged strength bonuses from the weapon, shield, and ammunition slots are excluded from this calculation.
    • Take precaution with items where the applied strength bonus is conditional, eg. a charged Dizana's Quiver.
