If I am to understand this correctly.

If you add granite dust, both the dust AND the cannonballs (Just regular cannon balls WTF?) are now untradeable.

Why the heck should regular cannonballs be untradable? Granite-coated cannonballs, makes complete sense. Can someone please clarify for me if I'm misunderstanding this? I'm voting no if the upgrade makes regular cannonballs untradable. It'll kill a whole market of moneymaking, and make the cannon worthless for anyone who isn't willing to smith for 6 hours to make their own ammo.

you are getting wrong, regular cannonballs will remain tradeable on if you add the dust they will become untradeable, which I think it makes no sense, since the point of slayer is making money, and they are restricting that.... but that is just my opinion

Many of the items on this list are useless. Purely filler drops. Voting no to ring/gloves/hammer as I would like to see more useful items on the drop table. (the enhancements for the bandos boots are almost useless enough as is, but its better than nothing I suppose which can't be said for any of the other drops). The fact that the cannonballs aren't tradeable is ridiculous. Make them tradeable.

Reminder: gargoyles are already great money, especially for the level.

It's funny how divided the community is regarding the cannonballs.
The accounts who use it most are not the ones who can collect it themselves.
However, I think the cannon is already a bit too strong. Forcing people to get their own cannonballs is definitely a plus, if it were to be made stronger.

Also, 'granite cannonball' doesn't sell it for me.
Why would granite dust stick to a cannonball, and if it does, why would it increase it's damage? Is the dust going to cut you?
How about changing it to magnetic dust, but also require you to have a higher tier of nails, probably adamant or rune. You'd make a spiky cannonball.
Since it's an additional requirement you could get away with the boss dropping more dust. Additionally, it allows for a new drop (on other monsters) that isn't interfering with most other drops while still being valuable.
The only problem is that now the cannon can magically shoot a bigger and spiked ball.

@Goves

Looks like you are forgetting that it's going to be a t50 weapon - and for t50 it's overpowered. It can't have same attack speed as a scimitar. Makes already-passed granite longsword completely pointless, which won't have a special attack.

In general it seems like jagex has given up on non-fast weapons, and even strongest & slowest weapons still have 3,6 seconds/attack.

HI, I have a question about the Bandos Boots potential upgrade. If I upgrade the boots, will I still be able to use them as a Bandos item in the God Wars Dungeon so that I will not get attacked by the Bandos followers? Thanks.

I disagree about using a item to upgrade Bandos boots. It should just drop the boots as a drop. The Bandos boots should just be updated to be more useful.

Edit: The ring should not have a level requirement, it's only useful for super low level players, as mid level players would easily choose a more useful ring.
