'''Pyrotechnics''' is a special event crafting system that allows players to create and launch firework rockets using the '''Alchemy''' skill. Craft components at a forge, assemble rockets of increasing power, and put on a spectacular show with multi-stage aerial displays featuring unique burst patterns, color palettes, and cascading effects.

==Overview==

The system revolves around two phases: crafting '''components''' (firework stars and fuses) and assembling those components into '''rockets'''. Star color is determined by the type of metal ingot used, and each rocket type produces a distinct aerial display — from the modest pop of a Bottle Rocket to the massive multi-stage grand finale of a Block Buster.

==Getting Started==

# Obtain a '''Pyrotechnics Kit''' from the event vendor or quest reward.
# Gather raw materials: '''metal ingots''', '''wool''', '''black powder''' (or sulfurous ash), and '''black pearls'''.
# Craft '''Firework Stars''' at a forge — choose your ingot type to set the star's color.
# Craft '''Firework Fuses''' (no forge needed).
# Combine stars and fuses into '''rockets''' at any location.
# Place the rocket on the ground, double-click to light the fuse, and stand back!

==Components==

Components are the building blocks for rockets. Craft them first, then combine them.

The ingot type determines the star's color palette. Higher-tier ingots require higher Alchemy skill to work with. Each color produces a unique set of hues when the rocket explodes.

Fuses control the delay between lighting and launch. The more fuses a rocket requires, the longer the fuse burns before liftoff.

==Rockets==

Rockets are assembled from firework stars and fuses. Larger rockets require more materials, higher skill, and produce increasingly spectacular displays. Each rocket has a signature burst pattern with multiple stages of color and effects.

==Rocket Details==

===Bottle Rocket===
The simplest firework. A small peony burst in your chosen star color, followed by a brief white crackle. Quick fuse, low altitude, easy to make — perfect for beginners or rapid-fire displays.

'''Stages:''' Peony burst → white crackle sparks

===Sky Shield===
Named for its signature effect: a blanket of white sparkles that covers the sky like a glittering shield. The initial crossette burst sends sparks scattering, then dozens of white streaks shoot upward and outward, each leaving a lingering sparkle on impact. A second wave fills any gaps before a blue ring frames the whole canopy. Finishes with white sparkle streaks drifting slowly downward.

'''Stages:''' Crossette → blue crossette layer → white streaking canopy → white sparkle blanket → blue ring frame → falling white shimmer

===Little Boy===
A warm, cheerful display. Opens with a dahlia burst in your star color, then a secondary peony blooms in gold and orange tones. Shooting golden streaks radiate outward from the center, trailing sparkles. Finishes with a scattering of white crackle sparks.

'''Stages:''' Dahlia → gold peony → radiating gold streaks → white crackle

===Moon Shine===
An ethereal, layered display. The initial ring in your star color is followed by a larger expanding ring in aqua and silver. Moonbeam streaks shoot outward, each leaving a white sparkle on impact. A green bloom flower fills the center of the rings, then purple willow tendrils cascade down through the whole display. Finishes with multi-color crackle pops mixing all three palettes.

'''Stages:''' Ring → aqua expanding ring → aqua moonbeam streaks → green bloom fill → purple willow cascade → multi-color crackle

===The Penetrator===
A punchy, aggressive display with deep color contrasts. The chrysanthemum primary is followed by a deep red peony punching upward through it. Purple streaking bolts radiate outward in all directions, each leaving a purple sparkle on impact. A tight red dahlia bursts at an offset, then a gold crackling finale scatters sparkles across the sky.

'''Stages:''' Chrysanthemum → red peony → purple streaking bolts → red dahlia → gold crackle finale

===Big Betty===
A heavyweight six-stage spectacle. Opens with a massive willow cascade, then a gold chrysanthemum punches through the tendrils with a thundering double boom. Eight golden streaks radiate outward trailing sparkles. Dual red bloom flowers burst on either side, flanking the center. A blue willow reprise cascades from even higher up, draping over everything. Finishes with white sparkle rain — falling streaks and lingering sparkles drifting down through all the color.

'''Stages:''' Willow → gold chrysanthemum + gold streaks → dual red bloom flanks → blue willow cascade → white sparkle rain

===Block Buster===
The ultimate firework. A double flash announces the initial bloom flower burst, then a simultaneous red peony and gold ring detonate at different heights. Twelve blue streaking bolts radiate outward with crackle impacts. Three green chrysanthemum bursts spread across the sky. A purple willow cascades from high above. An aqua crossette crackles across the display with aqua streaks. The grand finale unleashes white sparkle rain falling from above while fourteen multi-color sparkle pops from all six palettes scatter everywhere, punctuated by a triple boom. Lingering white shimmer fades last.

'''Stages:''' Double flash → bloom flower → red peony + gold ring → blue streaks → triple green chrysanthemum → purple willow → aqua crossette + streaks → multi-color sparkle rain + triple boom → white shimmer

==Tips==

* '''Mix your star metals''' across multiple rockets for the most colorful show. Valorite stars produce aqua tones, Bronze stars produce reds, Verite produces purples — each rocket's primary burst uses whatever star color you chose, while the secondary stages add their own contrasting palettes on top.
* '''The fuse count affects timing.''' More fuses mean a longer delay between lighting and liftoff. Plan accordingly if you are coordinating a group display.
* '''Rockets are consumed on use.''' Each rocket is a one-shot item — craft extras!
* '''Maker's mark''' is supported. If your Alchemy skill is high enough, your name will appear on the rocket.
* '''Coordinate a finale.''' Have several players light Block Busters and Big Bettys in sequence for overlapping multi-stage displays — the staggered timing creates a wall of color.
* '''Bottle Rockets are great openers.''' Their fast fuse and quick pop work well as a rapid-fire lead-in before the big rockets go up.

==Materials Summary==

For a complete set of one of every rocket (assuming all iron stars):

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:1em auto;"
|-
! style="background:#333; color:#FFD700;" | Material
! style="background:#333; color:#FFD700;" | Total Needed
|-
| Ingots (any type) || 76 (38 stars × 2 ingots each)
|-
| Black Powder || 54 (38 for stars + 16 for fuses)
|-
| Black Pearls || 38 (1 per star)
|-
| Wool || 32 (16 fuses × 2 wool each)
|}

'''Star breakdown:''' 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = '''38 stars'''

'''Fuse breakdown:''' 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 = '''16 fuses'''
