High-Explosive Gunpowder goes hand in hand with Ghost Iron Bolts as your 'bread and butter' Engineering materials. High-Explosive Gunpowder is used in any schematic that makes things go boom!
Now these are two items that go boom any Engineer should never be without:
Locksmith's Powderkeg - Even as a Rogue I carry these for comedy effect.
G91 Landshark - Nothing more satisfying than seeing a fleeing enemy being chased down by a G91 Landshark!/Dave the Sloth.
As an engineer, I stockpile these (High-Explosive Gunpowder), Ghost Iron Bolts, and Windwool Cloth to make Tinker's Kit. Tinker's Kit makes Nitro Boosts and Goblin Glider, which I would NEVER be without. :)
That is every comment on this page.
