About

Gunpowder can be purchased in the Providence Stalls in 50g batches for 15 Silver Pieces. Unlike other powders, Gunpowder cannot be stored in a Dry Goods Bag, but instead 500g of Gunpowder can be stored in a Powder Horn, which can also be purchased in Providence for 500 Silver Pieces.

24g of Gunpowder makes 16x Boomsticks making each Boomstick worth about 1 Silver Piece. A Boomstick can be used to blow up a Boulder. To blow up a Boulder select your Boomstick from your inventory and right-click it on a source of Fire, such as a lit Torch or Fireplace. This will turn your Boomstick into a Lit Boomstick. You must now quickly select your Lit Boomstick and right-click it onto the Boulder you wish to blow up.

WARNING! Letting a Lit Boomstick explode in your inventory will do Blood damage to you.

Blowing up a Boulder will scatter it's Stones in a short radius around where the Boulder was. You can then pick them up if you wish to save them.

A Boomstick can also be used to blow up Shellback Shells. To do so lit the Boomstick as usual and right-click the Lit Boomstick on the Shellback Shell to receive 9x Shell Fragments. You will also get a very light Bleed debuff.
