The Gilliam Axe is a one-handed weapon in Crimson Desert. With an Attack Power of 14 and a Critical Rate bonus at Level 1, it shares identical base stats with the Bekker Axe. The two axes function as interchangeable options at the same power tier, giving players flexibility in which one they pick up first depending on where they explore.
One-handed axes in Crimson Desert offer wider swing arcs than swords, making them effective at clipping multiple enemies in tight spaces. The Gilliam Axe's Critical Rate bonus ensures that a portion of those hits will deal increased damage, which is especially valuable during crowd-control situations.

The exact acquisition method for the Gilliam Axe has not been fully documented. It is likely obtainable through enemy drops, open-world exploration, equipment merchants, or crafting at a Blacksmith with the appropriate recipe. Players exploring the regions of Pywel should keep an eye out for weapon racks and loot drops that may contain this axe.
The Gilliam Axe supports up to 10 refinement levels at any Blacksmith. Refinement increases the base Attack Power. The 3 Abyss Core slots allow customization through a Witch vendor. Because the Gilliam Axe shares the same stat profile as the Bekker Axe, upgrade strategies that work for one will work equally well for the other.
Axe | Attack Power | Secondary Bonus |
|---|---|---|
10 | Crit Rate Lv.2 | |
14 | Crit Rate Lv.1 | |
Gilliam Axe | 14 | Crit Rate Lv.1 |
14 | Crit Rate Lv.2 | |
18 | ATK SPD Lv.1, Crit Rate Lv.1 |
The Gilliam Axe and Bekker Axe are functionally identical at 14 Attack Power with Critical Rate Level 1. The Lambert Axe offers the same base damage but with a higher Critical Rate at Level 2, making it the stronger pick if available. The Silver Wolf Axe is the top-tier option with both Attack Speed and Critical Rate bonuses on top of 18 Attack Power.
The Gilliam Axe performs well in dual-wield configurations where fast cleave attacks can hit multiple targets. The Critical Rate bonus means occasional high-damage spikes during extended combo chains. Pairing it with Abyss Cores that boost Critical Damage turns those spikes into serious burst damage. The axe also works as a reliable off-hand weapon alongside a faster sword for varied attack patterns.
