Project Gorgon Explosive Runestone Guide

Explosive Runestone in Project Gorgon is a consumable item that explodes when activated, usually killing the person who uses it. It is mainly used in crafting research, certain skill interactions, and Work Orders rather than as a practical combat tool. It has a base value of 200 councils.

If you are wondering whether you should actually use it on yourself, the answer is usually no.

What Explosive Runestone Does

When activated, the Explosive Runestone detonates. It is described as an anti theft device used by paranoid merchants.

It is classified as a consumable item and appears in categories such as Alchemy Ingredient and Vendor Trash. While it technically can be activated, its real value comes from crafting systems and turn ins.

How To Get Explosive Runestone

There are several ways to obtain Explosive Runestones.

Bartering:

Trade 3 Tattered Red Book to The Sand Seer
Receive 1 Explosive Runestone

Drops:

Rakshasa in Rahu and Ilmari desert
Drakeworm in Ilmari
Onkara War Trooper
Random high level mobs in Gazluk Plateau

There are no crafting recipes that directly produce Explosive Runestone.

Crafting And Skill Uses

Explosive Runestone is used in multiple skill systems.

It can be used in:

Alchemy
Artistry
Fae race skill
Fire Magic
Weather Witching

Intermediate Runecrafters and Fire Mages use them in research. It is more of a component item than a frontline combat tool.

Work Order Turn In

There is a repeatable Work Order involving Explosive Runestones.

You can:

Turn in 10 Explosive Runestone to Gremix
Receive 4651 councils
Requires Industry Level 35

If you farm high level mobs that drop these consistently, this Work Order can become a steady council source.

Is It Worth Farming

Explosive Runestone is not a core power item. It is a utility and crafting component.

It is worth collecting if:

You are leveling Fire Magic or related crafting skills
You are working on Industry and Work Orders
You need it for specific research chains

If you are purely focused on combat progression, it is not something to prioritize using directly.

Final Thoughts

Explosive Runestone in Project Gorgon is a niche but useful item. It explodes on activation, has a 200 council base value, drops from specific high level enemies, and plays a role in several crafting and research paths.

Treat it as a crafting resource and Work Order material rather than a combat ability, and you will get the most value out of it.
