Explosive

Explosive is a special cannon round that causes a great explosion on the deck or against the hull of the vessel it strikes. Effectively, it's a small bomb.

Explosive rounds are very heavy and can only fire short range - one shot at a time. Also, it takes a much longer time to load them, countering for the great damage they can inflict.

Currently, it is the strongest cannon ammo yet.

A pirate can learn the skill to use these rounds at Cannon Skill Level 17. Increasing the Explosive skill increases the overall damage even more.

They can be purchased at any gunsmith, once the skill has been learned. However, even with large cannonball barrels, a pirate can carry no more than 12 explosive rounds at a time.

To use Explosive rounds, you must be at a cannon and then press 6 or click

Game Note
Many EITC heavy warships also use explosives such as the Corsair, the Behemoth and the Juggernaut ships. Behemoths and Corsairs have the most powerful explosives that can destroy even a War Galleon's hull in just a matter of seconds. The Treasure Fleet ships are also known to be using explosive ammo.
