'''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.
There are 3 three types of weapons [[weapon]]s in 'axesAxes' [[Skills|skill category]]:The * an axe, * a battle -axe* a pick-axe == Types of Axes == === Axe === Hand axes are very common weapons, and likely one of the pick-axe which is useful for diggingfirst you will encounter as they are used by low level [[skeleton]]s. Axes are generated in a wide variety of metallic materials.
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.]]
They come in [[Copper]], [[Bronze]], [[Iron]], [[Steel]], and more rarely, [[Meteoric Steel]], [[Mithril]], [[Adamantine]] (broken only), and [[Ommel Tooth]] variants.
Hand axes are attached to [[Loricatus]].
* 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
