Nord Greataxe

A mighty axe fit for a mighty warrior.

Nord Greataxe is a two-handed axe with no bench recipe of its own: Cast: Nord Greataxe is poured at a level 4 Black Forge from 20 Bloodgold, 10 Timberwood and one Mould: Nord Greataxe, then hardened into the finished weapon at a Frost Foundry, which burns Liquid Frost for 50 seconds to do it. It deals 188 slash and 40 chop, blocks for 76, and trains Axes. The primary attack is a three-swing chain with double damage on the last hit at 22 stamina a swing; the secondary sweeps for half damage at 11 stamina and multiplies stagger by 4. Wielding it costs 20% movement speed. It upgrades to quality 4, reaching 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 Greataxe. Upgrades then happen at the Black Forge, level 5 and up.

Upgrade recipe
Station Black ForgeLevel 4

Listed at the Black Forge for upgrades only; the base amounts are what the cast above already cost. Per-level costs are in the table below.

Past quality 4, the Forge of Potential will take it one level further for 1 Bloodgold Battle Idol plus 45 Bloodgold and 22 Timberwood. No other station asks for the idol.

Each quality level adds 12.5 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.
