How to Get Gunpowder in Nightingale

Learn how to craft Gunpowder in Nightingale! Discover where to find Sulfur and Coal, the necessary crafting station, and alternative methods for acquiring this vital resource.

Alright, so you need Gunpowder in Nightingale? It's a pretty essential item, especially if you're looking to craft your own ammo. Don't worry, it's not too complicated once you know where to look. We'll get you set up with everything you need.

First things first, you'll need to craft it. The main way to get Gunpowder is by using the Refined Masonry Bench. Before you can even think about crafting, you'll need to grab a few recipes. Head over to the Essence Traders in the Provisioner Realms and make sure you pick up the recipe for the Refined Masonry Bench itself. While you're there, it's a good idea to also grab the recipes for the Refined Saw Table and the Brazier, as you'll need those for other crafting steps later on.

Once you've got those recipes, head back to your base and build the Refined Masonry Bench. After it's built, you can access its menu and select the Gunpowder recipe. To craft it, you'll need two Sulfur and two Coal.

Finding Sulfur and Coal

The good news is that Sulfur and Coal aren't super rare. You can find both of them pretty commonly inside caves across all the different realm types. Your best bet for finding them in higher quantities is in realms with lower scores, specifically in the 10-40 range. This is because they share spawn rates with other materials, so fewer other ores mean more Sulfur and Coal for you.

How to spot them:

• Sulfur: Look for yellowish rock formations inside caves.
• Coal: This appears as a hard black surface, though sometimes it can look a bit whitish due to the game's lighting.

Coal is a minable material, and you'll often find it in low-score caves and dungeons, no matter the realm score. Sulfur is found in a similar situation. Keep an eye out in those caves in your lower-score worlds and also in dungeons within higher-score realms.

Larger underground dungeons are also great spots! These places are often packed with mineable ores, gems, Coal, and Sulfur. Realms like Forest Gloom and Herbarium are also known for having lots of caves and dungeons, so they can be a good source for these materials too.

Crafting Gunpowder

Once you've gathered two Sulfur and two Coal, head back to your Refined Masonry Bench. Use the materials to craft your Gunpowder. With this, you can start crafting ammunition, provided you've also unlocked the necessary Augmentation and the specific ammo recipe for the gun you want to use.

Alternative Ways to Get Gunpowder

There are a couple of other ways to snag some Gunpowder:

• From Enemies: Keep an eye out for enemies that throw flasks. These particular foes often drop materials that can be used as Gunpowder.
• Looting in Provisioner Realms: You can occasionally find Gunpowder, along with other refined materials like Oil, by looting landmarks and Points of Interest (POIs) in Provisioner Realms.

So there you have it! With the Refined Masonry Bench and a bit of cave-diving for Sulfur and Coal, you'll be crafting Gunpowder in no time. Happy crafting!
