Gunpowder is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is created in a Mortar and Pestle Mortar and Pestle and is used for crafting weapons and ammunition.

Crafting

Gunpowder is used to craft the following items:

* Some types of Blue Coloring Dyes

Crafting Method

One easy method to create massive amounts of gunpowder is to chop a large quantity of wood, place the wood in a campfire/forge (not a standing torch as they burn wood much slower), and use an ankylo to mine flint and stone needed for the spark-powder ingredient. Once full of flint and stone, the wood should have finished burning and produced charcoal, giving the second ingredient needed to make the gunpowder.

Notes

Since Charcoal Charcoal is acquired at such a low level, it is advised to store it, if you have the means, to save having to waste burning wood later on without cooking anything.
