The Bomb is the mid-sized explosive, a step up from the Cherry Bomb and a step below the Mega Bomb. Placed on the ground, it blows up and shatters every rock and ore node in a wide circle. That makes it a favourite tool for clearing whole patches of the Mines, the Quarry and the Skull Cavern in seconds. The recipe arrives at Mining level 6, and Iron Ore plus a lump of Coal is all it takes. Bombs are also sold, traded and dropped by monsters, so a steady supply is never hard to find.
The in-game description reads: Generates an explosion. Watch out!
Recipe
Reaching Mining level 6 teaches the recipe. Iron Ore is the main ingredient, and the Mines between floors 40 and 80 are full of Iron Nodes. A single Coal completes each bomb. Coal drops from rocks and Dust Sprites, or a Charcoal Kiln can turn spare Wood into it.
Buying is an option for anyone short on iron. The Dwarf sells Bombs both in the Mines and in the Volcano Dungeon, though at a steep price per bomb. The Desert Trader in the Calico Desert swaps one Bomb for a handful of Quartz. A Crystalarium filled with Quartz copies it quickly, so a few of those machines turn into a steady bomb supply through the trader.
Monsters help as well. Several cave enemies sometimes leave a Bomb behind when slain, so a long day underground often ends with a few spare.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
Using a Bomb is simple: select it, place it on the ground and step well back. When it goes off, every rock in range breaks at once, and ore and gem nodes drop their contents as if mined by hand. A Bomb reaches noticeably further than a Cherry Bomb, so one blast can clear most of a cave room.
The blast does not care who is nearby. Standing too close costs health, so it pays to walk out of range before it goes off. Placed objects in range can also be wrecked, including furniture indoors. Bombs belong in the Mines and on open ground, well away from machines and the house.
Notes
In the Skull Cavern, bombs earn their keep by breaking clusters of rock and ore quickly. Many players carry a stack for clearing iridium nodes, while Staircases are the cheaper way to skip floors. A weapon with the Crusader enchantment can deal with Mummies there without any explosives.
The Quarry is another good target. Rocks there spawn close together every day, so a well-placed Bomb gathers a large pile of Stone and ore in one go.
