Usage
Primary Use
of a barrel in hand will light a 5 seconds fuse to detonate, but can be cancelled by Secondary Use
. The barrel can be picked up whilst the fuse is lit.
The barrel will immediately detonate if shot by a player, struck, caught in an explosion, or upon contact with the outside of a ship hull. The explosion will damage all nearby pirates and Creatures (based on distance) within 9 paces of the detonating barrel, and put 4 holes into the hull of any nearby Ship as well as breaking nearby ship parts such as the Mast or the Wheel.
Rewards
Gunpowder Barrels can be sold to:
- Merchant Alliance Senior Traders stationed at the docks of Outposts for Gold and Merchant Alliance Reputation and Emissary Value (if sailing as a Merchant Alliance Emissary)
- The Servant of the Flame at The Reaper’s Hideout for Gold and Reaper's Bones Reputation and Emissary Value (if sailing as a Reaper's Bones Emissary)
The following is the reward chart for the sold Barrel when not commissioned:
Emissary Grade | Gold (Min.) | Gold (Max.) | Emissary Value |
---|---|---|---|
No Emissary | 100 | 200 | 0 |

III | 167 | 334 | 721.44 |
IV | 200 | 400 | 864 |
V | 250 | 500 | 1080 |
And the following is the reward chart for the sold Barrel when commissioned by the Merchant Alliance:

---|---|---|---|
No Emissary | 500 | 1,000 | 0 |
I | 500 | 1,000 | 2160 |

III | 835 | 1,670 | 3607.2 |

Notes
- Picking up and placing Gunpowder Barrels on a Ship for the first time does not give Emissary Grade Reputation to Trading Company Emissaries. Only selling a Barrel as part of a Trade Good Commission offers Emissary Grade Reputation as Merchant Alliance Emissaries.
- Gunpowder Barrels do not emit a Glint or Glow from a distance.
- Storing Gunpowder Barrels in the Crow's Nest or on top of a sail maximizes safety, preventing the likelihood of being destroyed during a fight and causing minimal damage to the ship (not including the Stronghold Gunpowder Barrel). Be wary that an exploding Gunpowder Barrel on top of a Crow's Nest will break the Masts. Be careful when using this tactic on a sloop, as a successfully detonated Gunpowder Barrel can leave you without a Mast until it is re-raised.
- Ship collision will not detonate the barrel while carried in hand, however sailing into one even slowly will cause the barrel to detonate.
- Gunpowder Barrels can be grabbed with a Harpoon, even from the hands of Pirates and Skeletons.
- A harpooned Gunpowder Barrel may explode if grabbed at an angle that causes its geometry to intersect the ship's.
- When a Player is holding a Gunpowder Barrel, only Skeletons with hands or Cutlasses with weapons can set off the keg. Shots from Weapons or Cannons will not detonate a held Keg.
- Blowing up a Gunpowder Barrel in your hand on a Ship will count as a Cannonball hit, meaning that a player can destroy a Skeleton Ship with a Keg and it will count as a kill.
- Gunpowder Barrels will blow up if they are within the area of effect of a thrown Throwable.
- A Gunpowder Barrel held by a player or Skeleton who is on fire will explode after a short period of time.
