Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

Cannonballs are one of the few ways to make money with Smithing. They have high demand because of players using them to powertrain, and they are slow to make and give poor Smithing XP, so supply never becomes excessive.

The best spot for making cannonballs is at Neitiznot, because it has a one-click bank and a furnace only one click away; you must complete The Fremennik Isles to use it.

The best place for a mid-level player to smelt is at the furnace in Edgeville.

I don't recommend using a beast of burden, due to the short distance between the bank and furnace. Instead I suggest a foraging familiar such as a magpie, which will provide you a nice bonus in foraged items while you work.

Specific Method Details

Get to Neitiznot via Rellekka in whatever way is convenient (enchanted lyre, home teleport if house is at Rellekka, fairy ring to Miscellania, etc.) Go to the bank.

Take out an ammo mould and a magpie pouch, and summon the familiar. Withdraw 27 steel bars, then click just east of the bank. As you are running, click one bar and then click on the clay forge, and select "Make All". After all the cannonablls are done you can get to the bank by clicking a bankchest, which is visible while still at the forge, saving time. Each run takes about 3 minutes, for a total of 540 per hour. The profitability of the method depends on the current price of cannonballs, which tends to spike up after new combat additions to the game.
