Dynamite :(

[JustLada]

can someone please tell me where to find dynamite? I don't understand what the mechanics of the game are, 4 hours of searching for dynamite on the map

I have lvl 22 and I'm at the beginning of the game

If you're at the beginning of the game, you're unlikely to find any dynamite. It appears in Act II and becomes craftable in act III. You have to backtrack with it if you're talking about Act I areas.
There are few with set appearance in mines, some bosses and scrap piles in those areas drop them randomly too.

You won't find dynamite until you are running around Old Arkovia north of Devil's Crossing in Act II

game has plenty of fun exploration secrets, in case with dynamite just push story and you eventually will find it.
P.S. don't forget to put some notes or just memorise zones you wanted to check once you obtain dynamite

Grind Stanton Mine.
Then take the Old Arkovia Rift and grind Cronley's men all over the outside, but steer clear of the Bruiser area.
In the same area grind Hanneffy Mine.
In the same area grind Cronley's Hideout, but there is no need to fight Cronley again unless you want to.
While doing all of the above make sure to break all of the piles, boxes, and such.

I know most people write to craft the dynamite, but I like to grind and after....
Loging in grind, logout, login grind, logout, etc....
Doing that 10 times gets me 20 plus dynamites.
You're going to get plenty more further into the game, but that'll cover you for what you need initially. 😊

I've been doing this so much, in all of my hours of playing, I have 1000 dynamites stashed in my Hardcore shared stash.

EDIT: Of course everything is RNG but, I just did what I suggested in HC (Hardcore) Elite and got 12 dynamites in that run.

As someone on their first playthrough too that is further along than you, I wouldn't worry about it until you get to another big hub/city at Homestead and then you can craft it relatively cheap.

Running through the mines to pick it up in the wild isn't really worth it IMO (at least to me). Use it for the 1-2 story/progression spots (where I think dynamite is provided in the area) and just either write down other places or not worry about it until second play

everything is much simpler, just go to the game in the Crucible. A local blacksmith is immediately able to craft dynamite, and a local inventor is able to detonate objects and roll set items.

The game gave me dynamite but I thought I had to keep going up and I used it there. Then I found out there are lvl 32 enemies and I can't kill them. I'm in ACT 1 and I can't find another dynamite. I can't craft it with the blacksmith yet. the game navigates me to the mines, but there is nothing there, I have killed and searched everything and nothing

If you have Ashes and FG after killing the warden you can warp to the first area of FG from the portal that appears at Devil Crossing and craft plenty at the blacksmith there. That's what I always do.
Re-run the last portal at the Wardens lab to gain 12/13 aether crystals.

the reason people say to craft dynamite is saving time,
it took you 10 runs to get 20 dynamites (of which only 10 was guaranteed btw)
in 1 single crystal run you can get the equivalent of 10 dynamites, ie needing 2 runs vs your 10 runs to get the same 20 amount/be done with the same task.
*heck if you do Immolation run it will only take 1 actual run since it has slightly more, even if it takes a bit longer than lab run

while it's perfectly fine some are ok with or even like grind/doing 10 runs where 2 is needed, it's probably also important to remember perhaps not all do, and the various "hacks"/tips & tricks exist for one reason or another

Lvl 32 in act one (if you are 10 lvls below that level) is highly unlikely unless you are trying to visit higher lvl locations. Are you sure you are going to the correct area? Some places even in act 1 are intended for later. You don't need dynamite to progress in the early story (only needing to blow 1 barricade)
Have you visited the mines, killed Cronley (main quest) and moved to the area with the undead?

what Blake said about FG/Forgotten Gods expansion, you cant' craft Dynamite in Devils' Crossing, has to be other blacksmiths
and like Striker says the quest isnt' directing you to go to level 32 areas in act 1, it's directing you to Act 2.
Level 32 areas is for later/coming back when higher level etc
act 2+ the dynamite mines

The mines which are in the portion of the map west of town always have dynamite, the game never tells you to go west of town until act 2.

If you're just starting the game and are new and want to use dynamite in act 1, you will die horribly in every conceivable scenario and repeatedly. Just keep playing the game and it'll work itself out for you in pleasing and fun ways.

But up there in the lab is the first boss and I couldn't find him so I thought he was in the dynamite area and now I don't have dynamite and I can't continue with the main story

So I'm in ACT 2, but I've been in the mine and there's not one enemy left.
