Nord Axe

A finely detailed axe, for finely cutting down your enemies.

Nord Axe is a one-handed axe with no bench recipe of its own: Cast: Nord Axe is poured at a level 4 Black Forge from 20 Bloodgold, 10 Timberwood and one Mould: Nord Axe, then hardened into the finished weapon at a Frost Foundry, which burns Liquid Frost for 50 seconds to do it. It deals 176 slash and 90 chop, blocks for 66 and trains Axes. Its tool tier of 6 is high enough to fell any tree in the game, so it works as a felling axe as well as a weapon. The primary is a three-swing chain at 16 stamina with double damage on the last hit; the secondary is an overhead chop for 1.5 times damage at 28 stamina. Upgrades to quality 4 add 10 slash and 3 chop each, on 400 durability.

How it's made

No bench makes this outright. The station recipe below only upgrades it; the piece itself is cast from a mould and hardened at a Frost Foundry.

2. Pour the cast at a level 4 Black Forge
3. Harden it at the Frost Foundry

50 seconds burning Liquid Frost turns the cast into the finished Nord Axe. Upgrades then happen at the Black Forge, level 5 and up.

Each quality level adds 13 damage and 50 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount, quality 3 twice that and quality 4 four times, so the last level is more than half of the total.
