Iron Axe

Tool

A sturdy iron axe made for cutting down trees.

Notes

The Iron Axe is a tier 2 tool used for cutting down trees, training the Logging skill with each use. It deals 1.5 damage (with reduced effectiveness against animals) and has 1500 durability, consuming 20 calories per swing. A practical tip: pairing this axe with the Logging specialty reduces the labor cost per chop, and the axe can later be recycled into Scrap Tool when no longer needed.
