}}__NOTOC__
[[Budger Blackpowder]] is a dwarven explosives specialist. He is mentor to [[Undrath Blastrock]] and the assistant of [[Ennis Granitestrider]]. Ennis Granitestrider and he seek to destroy the Forge operated by the [[Stone Summit]] deep within [[Sorrow's Furnace]].

He escorts players during the quest [[the Forge Heart]] and provides ample explosives in the form of [[Dwarven Powder Keg]]s.

In [[Guild Wars Eye of the North]], he is first encountered in Drakkar Lake, offering an unlimited supply of [[Powder Keg|powder kegs]] for 100 {{gold}}. If you hire him, he will follow you, even into neighboring [[explorable area]]s. He will not attack or use any skills, and enemies will not [[target]] him. His powder kegs are somewhat useful as they deal 50 [[armor-ignoring damage]] to adjacent foes and also [[knock down|knocks them down]] (if able). The powder kegs are actually [[bundle]] items. Dropping them triggers a countdown and the powder kegs explode in about 3 seconds. The explosion does not affect allies.

==Dialogue==
Sorrow's Furnace:
:''Do you know why me power kegs are so good? I use griffon guano to give 'em that extra kick!''

Far Shiverpeaks:
:''"You look like you could use a bit of powder for your journey. I'll make you a deal; pay me 100 [[gold]] and I'll follow you and provide you with as many of my kegs...the powder kind...as you need."''
::{{yes}} Hire Budger Blackpowder for 100 gold.
::::''"Say, why don't we go find some things to blow up, eh?"''
::{{no}} I'll be on my way.

Approaching the [[Dwarven Miner]]s in Drakkar Lake (after hiring him, with [[the Big Unfriendly Jotun]] completed):
:''"Aye there, laddies! Keep up the good work. The powder we're making from this ore is some of the finest I've ever seen."''

Epilogue:
:''"Ha! Now THAT was an explosion. It was so beautiful it made me weep."''

Responses when getting a powder keg:
:''"Can you believe they waste my precious powder on something as mundane as ore mining?"''
:''"Do you know why my powder kegs are so good? I use griffon guano to give 'em that extra kick!"''
:''"Nothing sounds as good as a little boom-boom, eh?"''
:''"Once, I gave someone a keg, and they used it as a chair. Not pretty."''
:''"One powder keg coming right up! Careful, now...."''
:''"Watch where you stick this stuff. You could put an eye out. Or a whole head."''
Response if you try to get another keg within four seconds:
:''"Back for more, eh? Give me a moment to fill another keg."''

During [[Heart of the Shiverpeaks]]:
:''"We are going to show those Destroyers not to mess with people of Tyria!"'' {{sic}}

==Notes==
* In the Southern Shiverpeaks, he uses [[Flame Trap]] constantly, and it activates on casting, knocking him down but causing no damage.
*As per the [[Game updates/20090611|June 11th 09]] update, he only gives kegs every four seconds now instead of instantly; thus effectively stopping [[Keg Farming]]. The four second wait time causes enemies to scatter.
*Voice response:
:''"Hail, human."''
:''"There is much to do."''
:''"What news of the war?"
:''"You seek the Dwarves?"''
:''"You need me?"''
