Fireworks shows are a fun addition to any celebration! With the New Year upon us and the current celebration of Wookiee Life Day, we thought it might be an additional fun way to celebrate the season. Making special occasions even more special, fireworks bring an extra special touch to weddings, parties and events of all kinds! To help you make a great impression at your next event, we have some tips for shooting off fireworks and even setting up your own firework shows! For some of you this may be a great refresher and for the newer members of the community this is something you are sure to want to experience for yourself.
Using fireworks is a wonderful way to enhance player made content with events. Coupled with storyteller props, an event promoter can create a stage for the spectators or even celebrate monumental accomplishments: whether it be on the PvP field when an enemy is defeated or a wedding to celebrate the union between two characters.
There are eight fireworks available for fun and celebration. Anyone can purchase fireworks in-game by visiting their friendly neighborhood Trader and ask to have some crafted.
Shooting Off Fireworks

How to launch Fireworks and Show Packages:

• Put the firework in your inventory (and not inside another pouch or other container).

• While you are anywhere outdoors, double-click the firework of choice while it's in your inventory.

• Click on the firework of choice in your inventory and select Launch from the radial menu (press "~" to access radial menu options).

You can also drag-n-drop the firework to your toolbar and fire it off from there.

If you are planning a really big show, set up several rows of Show Packages on your toolbar and launch them in sequence.
A long fireworks display is the perfect way to end your next party or event!

Fireworks Show Packages
Fireworks can be used one at a time, but you can also combine the eight types of fireworks to create Show Packages. Show Packages make it easy to set off grand displays.
Setting up your Fireworks Show Package
All you need to do is:

• • Have the Show Package and the individual fireworks in your inventory (uncrated).
  • Right click on the Show Package and from the radial menu, select Show Data.
  • Next, select Add Event to add your individual fireworks to the show package.
  • All Traders begin learning to make Fireworks in the first box of their profession. Fireworks and Show Packages may be created individually when using a Generic Crafting Tool.
  • A factory schematic for Fireworks may be made using a Weapon, Droid and General Crafting Tool, Weapon, Droid and General Crafting Station and then used in an Equipment Factory to create factory crates of fireworks.
  • 6 units of Mineral for the Canister
  • 4 units of Chemical for the Booster Charge
  • 2 units of Chemical for the Burster Charge
  • 2 units of Gas for the Effect-Generator

A popup window will appear (see below).
In the pop-up window, you may add fireworks from your inventory to add to the show: .

VOILA!
This will add one charge of the firework to your show. You may also Remove Events from the show through the radial menu.

You have even more options under Show Data to arrange and re-arrange the order of the fireworks (Modify Events) in the Show Package.

Play around with the different delays and effects to really make an impressive display.

The maximum delay is 100 seconds the minimum is 0 (.10 seconds).

Trader Tips

Show Package Firework

Firework or Show Package resource requirements:

The Overall Quality of the resources used determines the Experimental Effectiveness for the number of charges in each firework. So, with experimentation and better resources, you can make more firework charges. The simple ones can be made as a novice artisan; more advanced types can be made as you rise up the Artisan Engineering branch. At Engineering III, you can also make a Fireworks Show Package, which holds various fireworks and can be programmed to fire them in sequence.
