The name of this quest may or may not be be a tribute to Bruce Springsteen.
He's made a song called Dancing in the Dark, where he utters out this infamous line.

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Whoops, I put my comment on the wrong page. In an effort to be relevant:
The Budd that we're stealing gunpowder from, is definitely the same Budd that jumped off of the ship you were on, and appears to be the same crazy Budd from Grizzly Hills, and earlier, ZA. He may not be sane, but he is well-traveled.

Stupid Captain... Why would you start a fire in an air pocket in a cave! It will suck in all the oxygen!... He'll kill us all!

Did anyone get quest Raw Materials before this?

Comment by 684644

why the f would some1 build a camp underwater?

Comment by Hoticehunter

Weird... after turning in this quest, I got the error message: "You can't do that while mounted". I was on my flying mount at the time I turned the quest in. Does something happen after turning in the quest that I missed out on?

As soon as you exit the cave go directly south over the ridge at the cave's mouth and you'll see the camp.

Someone looted the keg immediately as I arrived and when it respawned, I was unable to interact with it. Abandoning the quest and reaccepting allowed me to loot it.

Comment by Whiterock

In order to getPay Attention! you must completeGirding Our Loins before acceptingHelm's Deep.
Better Late Than Dead andThe Abyssal Ride are NOT needed to takeGimme Shelter! and followups, however that would make you unable to getGood Deed Left Undone.
Lady La-La's Necklace have 0% drop chance beforeOphidophobia done and 100% after, however anyone can share you this quest as long as you are 80+lvl.
Anyone can takeVengeful Heart and do it's followups as long as they are 80+lvl. Quests above are NOT needed for it.

<<Feedback here, please>>

Can't Start a Fire Without a Spark

Get the Keg of Gunpowder from Budd's Dig.

	Keg of Gunpowder (1)

Description

Mack's still out of it, and I fear we may lose him if I can't get this fire started. With the wood being soaked, we'll need something special to get it going.

There's an abandoned camp nearby with a barrel of explosives in it. There's no way I can recover it on my own.

Would you mind hauling it back for us? For Mack?
