Sulfur×1Crafting it takes 12 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 10× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Ground Grenade
Ground Grenade is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Using Ground Grenade Well
Level 38 for 2 points puts this near the back of the elemental throwable line — Frag Grenade at 25, Shock Grenade 27, Ice Grenade 29, Incendiary Grenade 31, Water Grenade 33, Grass Grenade 35, then Ground at 38, Dark Grenade 40 and Dragon Grenade 42. Every one of them costs 2 points and every one of them hits for 750, so the levels you spend climbing the line buy element coverage and nothing else. Until 38 there is no thrown Ground damage at all.
The element material is a single Ore, which makes this the cheapest of the elemental grenades to keep in stock. The rest of the line wants something you have to hunt or process — Electric Organ, Ice Organ, Flame Organ, Cryogenic Coolant, Hardwood, Corrosive Solvent or Horn — while ore comes off any rock node a Mining Pal is already working. In practice your ceiling is Gunpowder supply, one per grenade, not the ore.
Ground is the element that punches through Electric, so these are what you stock before going after Orserk, Grizzbolt, Beakon or any of the Lux variants like Relaxaurus Lux and Mossanda Lux. Since the damage is a flat 750 blast on a few seconds of fuse rather than a hitscan shot, they work best thrown ahead of a charging boss or into the ground it is about to occupy — and the same detonation delay means you can lob one, swap back to your rifle, and keep firing while it cooks.
Alternatives and Upgrades
Grass Grenade matches it exactly at 750 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Frag Grenade Mk2 at 4,000; below it is Ice Grenade at 750.
