This is a guide to become a bomb maker, this is one of the worst/best items to trade, depending from which perspective you look at it from (best because of the amount of items you get, worst because someone can destroy every little thing you own during the trade), and this is very efficent for the raiding crowd.

1. Begin by doing what you normally do (don't forget to make a tribe) up to around the point when you have enough skills to make a bomb, doing this will get you some skills that aren't completely necessary for becoming a bomb maker but they're always good to have! Note, fishing skills are recommended but aren't necessary as there aren't many sources of food around the areas mentioned in part 2.

2. Settle at Magma Island/Canyon Island as there's Coal and Sulphur handy. Canyon is more recommended as there are many more trees.

3. With the Masonry skills you've [hopefully] gained through doing what you normally do craft castle walls to block anyone from getting into the island you're settling at. Engineering is also important as you need this to make a gate to get in and out of your home.

4.Now, it's time to set up a station to build bombs! Place a Lumbermill and a place you prefer to store items in and you're set. With the leaves from the trees you'll gather, make some hemp and then some rope.

This should tell you the recipe of bombs.

Now, you should have a safehaven where you can make and store bombs safely. Having friends to help you along with making bombs is good, but never forget about betrayal! Note, if you have allies, they probably won't wanna wall themselves in this area and just make bombs, so unless the friend's mind is set to making bombs, they won't want to team with you for long.
