Powder Keg

Powder Kegs are kegs of explosive materials which have various uses in the Guild Wars universe.

Prophecies
In Prophecies, powder kegs are used in missions in the Shiverpeaks. These kegs are needed to destroy vital gates and siege weapons, or to gain access to bonus areas.

Factions
Powder Kegs in Alliance battle are used to destroy gates to the fortresses in Kaanai Canyon and Ancestral Lands. They can also knockdown players and set them on fire. Powder kegs can be collected from the three equipment stations for attacking sides, and will respawn after a short time. If the opposing side attempts to pick up a keg, it will disappear.

Eye of the North
In the Depths of Tyria, powder kegs are used to destroy certain rock barriers in various dungeons. These kegs are supplied by Dwarven Powder Keg Stations, Budger Blackpowder or Dwarven Demolitionists. Some kegs may not have any other effect other than breaking down these barriers.

In Drakkar Lake, outside of Sifhalla, Budger Blackpowder will accompany players for the fee of 100. Budger will offer an unlimited amount of kegs to party members who talk with him. These kegs can be used to inflict 50 damage and knockdown, per keg, on enemies adjacent to the keg's explosion. Budger Blackpowder will follow you anywhere as long as you do not enter an outpost or mission area. These kegs however do not inflict any such effects on enemy bounty givers such as the Norn accompanying resurrection shrines. The bundle's explosion is treated as AoE damage and as such causes enemies to scatter.
