'''Axes are presumably the least useful weapons in this game. <br>Although axes ''' are easy to find and seem just well balanced, they lack favorable features, and there are no named weapons nor magical weapons in this category.

== Axe ==
Hand axes are very common weapons, and likely one of the first you will encounter as they are used by low level [[skeleton]]s. Axes are generated in a wide variety of metallic materials.<br>
Axes deliver '''slashing''' damage, and have decent [[roundness]] but this is offset by their small size giving them a mediocre block modifier of 1200.<br>
Hand axes have an adequate strength modifier, making them "rather sturdy".<br>
They have an average primary material density, meaning changing the material of the axe will have a noticeable effect on its weight. Hand axes feature a shaft made of lightweight [[List of materials#Pine|pine wood.]]
* Balanced weapons do not hold up as well as specialized ones in IVAN
* Somewhat outclassed by daggers which are only slightly weaker but are lighter and much more accurate
* No artifact hand axes in vanilla IVAN
=== Battle-Axe ===
The two-headed variant of the axe, also a common sight in dungeons. Battle-axes are also generated in a wide variety of metallic materials.<br>

* No artifact battle-axes in vanilla IVAN
=== Pick-Axe ===
Pick-axes are [[digging]] tools first and weapons second. You'll find they are the weapon of choice for shopkeepers. Pick-axes are generated in a wide variety of metallic materials.<br>
