Dragon axe

The Dragon axe is the second best axe available, tieing to the Inferno Adze in it's ability to cut, and is only available to members. As with all axes, it is both a weapon, requiring 60 Attack to wield, (like other Dragon weapons), and a Woodcutting tool, requiring 61 Woodcutting to use. It is a rare drop from Dagannoth Rex, Dagannoth Prime, or Dagannoth Supreme, all of whom inhabit Waterbirth Island. If broken by an Ent, it can be repaired at Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge for 1,800 coins.

As with all dragon equipment except the platebody, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.

The dragon axe is more efficient than the rune axe at cutting trees; it is about 15%  faster than a rune axe. However, there are still debates on whether the rune axe is as effective as dragon axe if used on trees that are below Yew.

Like other dragon weapons, the axe has a special attack called "Clobber." This lowers the target's defense and magic by the amount of damage dealt during the hit. This attack also uses up 100% of the special attack bar.

Trivia

 * When it was released, the dragon axe simply was considered a more expensive, red-coloured, Rune axe with better combat stats as it cut logs at the exact same rate (which Jagex actually confirmed in the knowledge base earlier). This was later updated, making the dragon axe the best Woodcutting axe in the game, it is now about 15% faster than a rune axe. Now it is popular among members for cutting trees such as Magic, Yew, Maple and Willow due to the faster cutting speed.
