For the Beta: you can cannon tasks still, you'll get the slayer xp, which seems reduced, but you won't receive any range xp while using it. The kills take much longer too, meaning xp/hr is reduced even further. I'm thinking of grinding out 99 range and summ then just soul waring for slayer even though that will take forever.

It's still early, they'll most likely nerf the xp/damage and such, and the Ranged xp might be glitched. But we'll see.
I'm going to try and get as much Slayer xp before the Beta comes out, hopefully getting to around 94-95, maybe higher. (depending on how much I can play during my summer holidays, still 1 week of exams left) If it turns out the Combat revolution thingy is really bad XP I might also consider doing Soulwars.
Although I can't imagine it'd be so bad. 1 Zeal is around 1.2K Slayer xp, which means you can only max get 10K Slayer xp from Soulwars per hour. (I average about 6 Zeal per hour because I often go in half-way through the game) It would also mean that I'd need around 4K Zeal from level 94-99, which equals 2 99's in either str/def/att, and to get those to 99 took me around 2-3 months of no-lifing each. I personally don't want to go back to Soulwars ever again, I did my 6K Zeal for the combat stats, and that's enough for me. But if they really nerf the XP that bad.. I guess I'll have too..
I'm getting around 20-40K Slayer XP per hour (depending on what tasks I get). Actual Slayer is way more fun then Soulwars in my oppinion, so unless the xp-rates of Slaying with a cannon will go down to 5K Xp per hour (which I doubt it will) I'll stick with Cannoning tasks :P

I hope the ranged xp is glitched, 2 months to grind out 85-99 range doesn't sound too fun. If slayer xp is still faster than sw with a cannon, then I'll be happy to spend the cash to get slayer up, I don't know how those level 3 skiller can just sit there all the way to 99 slayer, or how that one guy got 200m attack via sw, who is now getting slayer up I think.
Edi: Also, have you tried recoiling anything in the beta? I tried to find a weapon that had negative stats but all the common items had at least 3-4 base attack. Items I tried were Easter Carrot, Flowers, and Mouse Toy.

Recoiling seems to be glitched, even if you don't deal any damage you still get XP... :|
It's also rediculous that you have to be in combat before being able to use spells like Weaken and Confuse on NPC's.
Once I find the time I'll post a thread about it in the forums... :@

Yea, Pluto said that recoils give hp in my quest thread, I'm about to go check it out.
You can make the cannon give ranged xp, you just have to mark the target before it dies. However, for some reason the when the cannon kills a marked target, which I hit a zero on to mark, it gives hp xp.

Hope they fix the cannon/recoil glitches soon.. Still got an exam on Wednesday so didn't have time yet to construct a thread.
Thanks MysticManiac :)
Got my second Elite Clue Scroll this morning, Iron Dragon Mask loot! :D

Gratz. :D
Reading through the FAQ:299-300-419-63838512 and found this:
Are Rings of Recoil meant to give Constitution XP?
This is probably to do with the way we changed how XP works (now being granted on death instead of on hit). So, not an intentional change, but one we are happy to leave in.
Looks like slayer is screwed come Beta going live, unless they change it. :( Although, if you can find someone to help you out you could maybe still do it via Social Slayer. Have them kill the tasks that are a pain, and you would kill the ones that are cannonable. That would seem like the only decent solution assuming recoils aren't changed.
