Iron Axe

The Iron Axe adds Building mastery +4 while it is on your toolbar, twice the Bronze Axe. You forge it at the Iron Anvil, with a Hardening Bucket built against it, from 2 Sticks, 2 Iron Details and an Iron Ingot. The recipe comes with Iron Instruments I (80 red, 15 blue), which also gives the Iron Shovel, and needs Smithing mastery 6.

Notes

  • It replaces your older axe on the toolbar, which holds one axe at a time. Building also counts the pickaxe beside it, so an Iron Axe and an Iron Pickaxe give Building 8.
  • No trader sells it; the town Smithy only buys it. It never wears out.
  • Studying it costs 5 Science and gives 60 red and 10 blue.
