Guns play a crucial role in dealing significant damage in Nightingale, but acquiring ample Gunpowder is essential to keep them running efficiently. Procuring Gunpowder swiftly and effectively is vital knowledge for players.
Gunpowder acquisition is not straightforward, and regardless of the method chosen, players must invest effort. Here’s how to obtain Gunpowder in Nightingale.
How to obtain Gunpowder in Nightingale
In Nightingale, Gunpowder can be acquired through three different methods: defeating enemies who drop it as loot, purchasing it from an Essence Trader, or crafting it yourself. Each approach presents its challenges, so it’s advisable to utilize all three methods regularly to ensure a steady supply of this vital resource.
How to get Gunpowder from enemies
Gunpowder can be obtained from certain enemies, notably the pale white goblin-like creatures adorned with torn brown bandages across their bodies. These foes, often found in groups with black and red smoke, may drop Gunpowder upon defeat.
Encountered early in the game, these enemies are typically found guarding structures. While not all of them drop Gunpowder, it’s worth engaging them in combat for a chance to obtain this resource.
My initial encounter with Gunpowder was while battling these enemies at the Antiquarian Site of Power, an early location in Nightingale where players visit to obtain the Antiquarian Card.
Although relying on a random drop rate makes this method less reliable, it remains a viable option when combined with other methods.
How to get Gunpowder from Essence Traders
Some Essence Traders offer Gunpowder for sale, typically priced at 15 T1 Essence. However, not all traders stock Gunpowder, so players should check the Traders tab in the Guidebook to verify availability before visiting.
Essence, a valuable resource in Nightingale, is required for this method, making it relatively costly and challenging, especially in the early stages of the game.
How to craft Gunpowder in Nightingale
Gunpowder can also be crafted at a Refined Masonry Bench using two Sulfur and two Coal. To craft a Refined Masonry Bench, players need three Carved Wood, three Mechanical Gears, and two Metal Tips.
Sulfur and Coal, essential ingredients for Gunpowder crafting, are commonly found in mines and caves throughout the game world. However, obtaining these materials relies heavily on luck, making it prudent to explore alternative methods to ensure a steady supply of Gunpowder.
