Burning Oil is a defensive siege weapon placed over the gates of towers, keeps and Stonemist Castle once the structure reaches the first objective upgrade tier.

Burning Oil can be used against attacking enemies to cause significant damage. It is very difficult for enemies to approach the gate or use a Flame Ram while the oil pot is manned by a player.
