Ammonium nitrate is a members-only quest item. It is used in The Dig Site quest along with nitroglycerine, ground charcoal, and arcenia root to make a chemical compound. It is obtained by using the chest key to open the chest inside the Digsite Dungeon. The key is consumed upon opening the chest. If you search the chest while your inventory is full, the ammonium nitrate drops to the floor.

After the player blow up the obstacle with the chemical compound during the quest, the chest disappears, preventing them from obtaining more ammonium nitrate.
