Pirating requires you to have weapons, and while you’ll likely be getting involved in some cutlass swinging in Windrose, using flintlock pistols, as well as canons, are needed for much-needed range.
Obviously, the key ingredient to firing these is Gunpowder, and when you’re starting to craft these weapons, you’ll need a lot of it, especially if you’re playing with others.
It’s not exactly easy to secure, but we’ve got all you need to know.
How to get Gunpowder in Windrose
First off, you are actually able to secure some Gunpowder early on if you take down other pirates.
If you manage to defeat any of these enemy crews, there’s a chance that either they’ll have some on their body ready to loot, or there could be some hiding in crates in their camps.
Either way, this is pretty luck-based, and won’t exactly provide you with enough to keep you going.
Now, this is where crafting Gunpowder comes in. But you will have to advance through the main quests to get to this point.
In fact, you will need to have defeated the first main boss of the game, Thomas Richards, and reached the Foothills.
This is mainly due to the fact that Sulfur is required, and can only really be found in the Foothills area. You’ll need to mine it, so bring an Iron Pickaxe, and you’re looking for the large, cream-colored mossy rocks.
Once you have Sulfur in your inventory, you’ll need Ash. You’ll likely have some of this already if you’ve done a bit of wood burning, since it’s a by-product of Charcoal. If you don’t have any, though, get a Kiln going as it’s the easiest way to ramp up your stores.
With both of the materials, the key to mixing them together is the Millstone. You can make this with Millstone Parts and Wood, and when that is up and running, you should see an option to make Gunpowder.
Now you can make essentially an infinite supply for when you need to take on whoever wants a fight. No more relying on swords to do the dirty work.
