It actually puts on quite an amazing show. I can hardly keep 'em in my vendor.


Just drag it up to an empty slot in your hotkey bar, and launch it from there, muuuuuuuuuuch easier.


There's also a longer 'set up' delay for the package than for individual fireworks.

Don't forget to kneel before you launch fireworks...

I also found that I can only launch mine at night. I don't know if this is common knowledge or not.

A single firework can launch anytime..


I had problems with my first launch of a massive package..


Seemed it took me like 10 times before it went off.. So i tried again, and it worked first time..


It might actually only work when its a certain time of day in game.

You can sell them for any amount people will be willing to pay for them.


Fireworks have no PRACTICAL value, of course, so this will vary widely depending on how many non-artisan pyromaniacs you have around you, and how much disposable income they have.

just create a fireworks package... then when you click on it in your inventory you can get an add event sub menu.. which then brings you back to your inventory asks you to select a firework.. once youve added a few you can then launch the fireworks package..


to get it to launch i do the following:


drag the package to an empty spot on my toolbar.


kneel


then hit the corresponding toolbar key.. seems to work great....


check my website gallery for pics of the package going off..

I've found that double-clicking on the fireworks package works best. I've never had one fail to launch whether I'm kneeling, standing, sitting, or even running

Be sure to load crafted fireworks into the package...

Yes, they work and no, you are not an idiot. I found these very annoying because at first they weren't implemented and then they were sort of hard to figure out.


The part I didn't get at first is how to load the events. Here is the whole thing in order.


1. Make some fireworks to use to make the show packs.


2. Make the showpacks using the fireworks you made.


3. Make some more fireworks to load into the showpacks. For best results, make a variety of types.


4. Next, use the "add events" function on the showpacks to load your fireworks into the show. You will see the fireworks in your inventory. As you load one into the show, you will see the number of uses decrease on the individual fireworks go down.


5. As you load the fireworks, vary which types you load. Also, both the showpacks and the fireworks you are loading have to be in your inventory -- not your backpack.


6. You can load up to 20 fireworks in each showpack. The best part is it counts as one item in your inventory!


7. Launching is still a bit tricky as far as I am concerned. You cannot have anything equipped. The showpack has to be in your inventory. It does help to kneel first. Sometimes the launch function on the showpack works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you have to try several times. Have your sound on -- when it takes you will hear the "fizzzzz" of the fuse.


I haven't tried the double-clicking approach yet. Will try that next time.


Hope this helps!
