How to get Gunpowder in Nightingale

There are three methods that you can follow to get access to Gunpowder. The various methods have been discussed below:

Defeating Enemies

There are certain kinds of enemies in Nightingale that look like goblins and are wrapped in bandages. These enemies also have horns growing from them. They can be found in groups and one amongst them usually throws grenades at you which in turn creates a red smoke. The enemy who throws grenades at you has a chance to drop Gunpowder in the game.

These enemies can be found quite early in Nightingale.

Crating

If you want, you can also craft Gunpowder at a Refined Masonry Bench. All you will need is access to Sulfur and Coal. Both of these materials can be obtained from exploration, primarily through caves. It is the easiest method to get access to Gunpowder, but getting access to the raw materials does take time.

Essence Traders

The final method to get access to Gunpowder is from Essence Traders. However, you will need access to T1 Essence which is hard to come by. Therefore, even though you can use this method, it is not recommended.
