Talk:Dwarven army axe

Function of Axe not working in quest
It seems that some of the functions of the axe aren't currently compatible with parts of quests that would be suited for it. The example I can currently point to (which is where I first met this hitch) is Mountain Daughter. If one tries to use the Army Axe to aquire Half a Rock from the ancient rock in the mountain camp, it will only appear with the message "Nothing interesting happens." I have progressed in the quest far enough to use a normal pickaxe to get the rock.

I wonder if there are any other situations that the Army Axe would potentially be useful for in quests, which currently do not work? Legends Quest? 72.47.157.158 23:37, July 5, 2011 (UTC)Kallen


 * Shilo Village where you can chisel the stone tablet. "Nothing interesting happens" when attempted to use the DAA rather than a chisel. However, it does work to remove the gems from the throne in The Golem -- Da Pratsta Wut? 23:29, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Having done Legends Quest, and using the army axe, i can conclude that it works error free. (note) Axe appears as bronze pickaxe when smashing the boulders*

Different sizes of axes?
Seems like people are getting different sizes of axes....any explanation to this?


 * Yeh, change your attack style, it will change the look (and size). Samantha Epices 15:17, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Can't cut sapphires. But you can cut everything else. Bug im guessing.

I've cut a sapphire with the Dwarven Army Axe. --Void Knight 10:10, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Use in Abyss
Though it can be used to get through any obstacle in the Abyss, the player always spawns close to a rock, or a gap, but never a boil or tendrils. Wouldn't that make wielding a higher-leveled pickaxe more useful to give a higher chance of mining the rocks? 01:04, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Speed?
In terms of mining & woodcutting speed what hatchet/pickaxe is it compairable to?

steel 122.111.55.173 09:00, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably bronze as it's an item for new(er) players. 09:10, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's been confirmed that it is relative to steel by a Mod on the forums. -- Da Pratsta Wut? 23:31, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Using as a tinderbox
Is there any way to use the tinderbox function while the axe is equipped? So far I've only been able to burn wood while it's in the inventory, which kind of defeats the point of having it as an "equippable tinderbox".

Edit: OK, I've just found that you can drop some logs and then second button click on them and hit "light logs" and then after that you can unequip the dwarven army axe and use it like a tinderbox. Although it does take more clicks to do it that way as the default action is equip.

 * Use logs on the axe instead. Logs first option is use. 18:27, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, using the logs with the 'axe' is the fastest way... unfortunately it won't be able to use it for fletching.
 * Generally Ihave to say it's a great idea... only (now it seems to be) impractical. 22:20, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

can the axe be used by a free-player when the membership expires?


 * I doubt it, since it's a member's object. 03:12, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Pathetic IMO
Really jagex, on your quest to get more paying members you infact put more off than attract. Something this versatile does belong in p2p. But at that low level, doesn't deserve to be p2p, infact most p2p features require at least 30-40+ in any given skill level. Besides, even though f2p is a demo, I do belive at least 1 spec weapon wouldn't be that bad, especially with it's low attack rate. ~G.S. Coletane
 * You understand Jagex doesn't actually read this and your entire message was pointless, right? And FYI if anything this item is too powerful even for p2p compared to its requirements. 10:53, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
