Mithril cannons are a type of cannon that can be built on a boat, requiring level 20 Ranged to operate. It can be built at specific facility hotspots on the boat, requiring level 57 Sailing and 50 Construction to build, granting 816 Construction experience.

The mithril cannon attacks every 7 ticks, and can fire up to mithril cannonballs. 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. Oarswoman Olga is the first unlockable crewmate meeting this requirement at level 65 Sailing (boostable), so players wishing to assign crewmates to a cannon before this level may wish to maintain a steel cannon instead of upgrading to mithril.

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.
