Anvil metallurgy and woodcutting performance

Crafted from 8 Tungsten Bar units and 3 wood pieces at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Tungsten Axe provides 55% axe power with useTime 26. This chopping capacity allows adventurers to fell large trees and desert vegetation in fewer strokes than starting copper and tin axes, speeding up wood gathering for housing construction. It rapidly clears dense surface groves, underground mushroom stems, and desert cacti to stock crafting lumber.

Tier parity with gold and lumber reforge strategy

The Tungsten Axe matches the 55% axe power of the Gold Axe, giving tungsten worlds parity in timber harvesting without requiring gold tier smelting. It outperforms the Silver Axe by 5% chopping strength. Applying a Light modifier cuts down the swing cycle, providing a noticeable speed boost when clear-cutting forest patches for arena space.

Trivia

  • Matches the axe power of the Gold Axe despite being fabricated from lower-tier tungsten ore.
  • Consumes 8 tungsten bars and 3 wood pieces at an anvil.
