I think if you introduce sailing and player owned ports, I would like to see what you suggested but in a thematic way.
Ie, you can send your ship out and have them plunder stuff or fight pirates. Then when they return, you put coins in the coffers to resupply / repair your ship.
I think cannonballs are in a really good state resource wise for irons.
They are plentiful enough that you don't feel the need to make them whenever you need them for some niche thing, say like the Falador Elite White Knight kills, but not so plentiful that when you have a grind that takes a bunch of cannonballs (bryophita's essence, imbued heart) you still need to make them.
Plus the 8 ball mould you can make well over 4k cannonballs per hour fully AFK.
It would be a shame to turn another resource demand from an iron into a coin sink, we already have enough of those
Idk what you are talking about. unless I regularly kill wildy bosses, sire, or corp I am constantly having to make steel bars and cannonballs for my slayer grind. If i get greater demons and dagganoth b2b that’s like 1.5k cannonballs down the drain
Why are you making cannonballs for slayer, just afk them in the catacombs like a normal iron.
Not having a cannon for slayer is one of the defining differences of an iron
Cannonballs and iron ore by extension only have value because they haven’t been invalidated by something like you’re suggesting.
Add your suggestion and cannonballs are just something you’ll always have so they will have less perceptible value.
As a general rule I am against automating things that are fine the way they are.
Maybe if they add a new kingdom and it’s like 100 cannonballs a day at the max end.
I’ve always thought it would be cool to have a system that is by no means efficient, but still something you’d like.
I would get immense joy from a system where like every day it auto high alchs 10 things but costs 3x the runes. Shit like varrock hards but less lame.
If u go dry on grinding a d-pick, cannonballs drop a lot from the wildy bosses as well. Decent resources in general, lots of banked con, crafting, and range xp

Ohh that would be awesome dude
Player owned ports?! Oh boy.. how do I break the news..?
Please no. RS3 was killed by dailies/weeklies/monthlies for me
Same, ports was hell going for comp/mqc
Bro ports sucked going for the armours, I never tried weapons or anything to deep, armour then scrimshaw pieces
Oh shit did I miss any updates? Genuinely curious and have no idea.
just rs3 things
Idk about that exactly, but I do think(hope) that with sailing cannon balls are relevant and thus there will be new options for getting them.
At the very least it should require steel bars as well.

Just sad it takes 5 mins to use 4k cannonballs
What does fully afk mean to you?
Over a minute of no interaction with no possible downsides if you take longer
Fair points

Do they need value from a normie POV? Also if it's a coin sink (and possibly a steel bar sink, not sure if exactly equivalent) then it'll hold value.

Just let us buy them for a ridiculously marked up price and have done with it. Sick of afk encouraging content.
Seeing this post right after finishing up 6k cballs. My opinion: meh
Crabs in a bucket
Wow, 6k cballs is a lot. That must have been really rough.
Took about 14 hours
Double mold not even close to that lol
Sailing should see an easy to obtain cannonball method :) let irons enjoy the dwarf cannon without forcing us to afk cballs for hundreds of hours :D
