Think of others while using a cannon. Try to use the least crowded area or world you can find so you aren't disrupting the play of others. This also helps you avoid confrontations from less mature players.

Special atacks are for certain types of weapons lots are dragon weapons. There are many types of special attacks, from temporary boosts in stats, to strikes dealing extra damage. In the combat interface you will see a special bar for that weapon. If you click on it and attack anything that you can it will do the weapon's special attack. When you use a special atack it uses up an amount of energy from that bar different weapons uses up different amounts of energy, it will return back to you after time goes by. Remember, though, Special Attacks, and weapons that have Special Attacks, are members only.
