Hi there, explosive jars are rather expensive to farm meteors and as you mentioned have the issue of rolling away. You could use explosive arrows instead. One explosive arrow is enough to break a meteor. Aim at the base of it. If you don’t crack it open with 2 arrows, just move to another one as this one might be bugged. Furthermore with 1 dragonpoweder you can craft 1 jar but 10 explosive arrows, hence arrows are much cheaper to use.

I have built a wedge of two fences downhill directly at the meteor, and placed the explosive directly between wedge and meteor, so that it cannot roll away.
That was before the advent of explosive arrows, which are much better.

Try throwing it with the heavy attack. Otherwise they will bounce or roll. I use 3 grease orbs and 1 demonfire orb.

Light fuse and run away.

And then the explosive tips over and rolls away, even if placed on a foundation first. At least to my experience.

Static is talking about the explosive jar, which needs to be placed and can not be thrown :wink:

question can you make explosive arrows? if you can they are cheaper than jars and work most times on starmetal nodes.
