Axe4
Weapon · WeaponMelee2★Axe4 is an early melee weapon: 64th of 79 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 75 against the 2,400 of Laser Sword.
Wearing it also carries the effect Logging Yield Up Lv. 3, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
At 25 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. It sells for almost nothing, so do not bother hauling it to a shop.
Every Tier of Stone Axe
The same piece exists at 4 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 20 to 60, a 3x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Stone Axe | 20 | 150 |
| 1★ | Metal Axe | 30 | 250 |
| 2★ | Axe4 (this one) | 75 | 400 |
| 2★ | Refined Metal Axe | 60 | 300 |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Metal Spear at 80 attack; step down and it is Nightglow at 70. That gap is the honest measure of whether an upgrade is worth the materials right now.
