Where to Find Flame Thrower
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is treasure chests in the Feybreak at 19.2% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Ammunition Flame Thrower Uses
Flame Thrower fires Flamethrower Fuel, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Flamethrower Fuel | ×10 | Crude Oil ×2, Refined Ingot ×1 |
Schematics That Unlock Flame Thrower
Flame Thrower is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. 4 schematics grant the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. The fastest route is treasure map digs (tier 4), and the reason is the ladder rather than the top rung: that pool stocks every tier, so the common copies it hands you fuse upward into the one you want. Counting them, a top-tier Flame Thrower schematic works out at roughly 56 containers against the 68 the 4★ drop rate alone suggests. Spare low tiers are progress, not clutter. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
