Axes

This page deals with generic information concerning all Axe type weapons. See here for the Axe item, or here for Axe items craftable by a smith.

Axes are similar to swords in that they require the Swordsmanship skill to use, however they come with a few special twists. Note that these do not apply to the War Axe (which is a Mace Fighting weapon).

You can use an Axe class weapon on a tree to extract Logs and train the Lumberjacking skill. As your woodchopping skill increases, you gain a Damage Increase bonus in combat when using an Axe - up to 35% at Grand Master. Or is it 30%? 10%?? No idea, suspect Lumberjacking page may be wrong and quick web search gives conflicting information...

Lumberjacking is also gained when using an Axe in melee combat.

Aside from the standard cutting properties associated with bladed items, Axes can also be used to chop up certain House Addons.
