Gunpowder
A material essential for crafting most kinds of ammunition, and available for purchase from numerous vendors (listed below).
It is manufactured from materials readily available and easily prepared on Raana: potassium nitrate ("saltpeter") extracted from dung & urine in straw beds with wood ash, and this mixed with charcoal (as fuel) and sulphur (to reduce ignition temperature). So you can make it yourself: if you purchase a sawmill (e.g. Darkmere), and install a Burner ($150,000), this will convert 20% of your daily harvested Wood units into gunpowder units.
- Purchase from: Walton's Smithery, Belial Guns, Haruki's Store, Transit Department, traveling merchants at Hunter's Oasis occasionally.
- Base Cost: per unit from Walton's' ($5), in 200-unit kegs ($280) if you can find them, or in barrels of 5,000 units ($30,000 if Ikaanos Prosperity <5, $25,000 if 5–14, $20,000 if 15–74, $17,000 if 75–89, $14,000 if $90+, and $1,500 cheaper at Haruki's, and $1,500 cheaper again there if you have removed the Black Scorpion from Raikan).
- Sell to: Redhaven Market
- Sale Value: $2 per unit, +$1 if Prosperity <5, -$1 if Prosperity 75+.
- Obtain from: Mass-produce in a Sawmill with a Burner; sometimes get as a reward from Torilei (25 units) and Hannes (250 units) in Drenner Village; occasionally find a few units when scavenging in old industrial areas.
- Uses: Manufacture of ammunition: 9mm (1 unit per), shells (2), 30-06 (2), 7·62 (2), ·45 (2), ·50cal (3), grenades (4). Also used to make charges to blast through doors (500 units required).
