The Tree Branch is a one-handed weapon added in Patch 1.04.00. It is intended as a novelty item and as a very early-game improvised option, dropping at random when Kliff chops down ordinary trees with a logging axe. The branch is functional but is not designed to compete with quest-grade or boss-grade weapons in stat lines.

How to Get It
Equip a logging axe and chop ordinary trees in Pywel. The Tree Branch is a chance drop alongside the usual timber yield from a felled tree, in the same way that hides drop alongside meat from felled animals. The drop rate is low but the source is renewable, so spending an evening at any of the standard logging zones eventually produces a copy.
Logging zones near Greymane Camp or in southern Hernand are convenient farming spots because the tree density is high and the player is already nearby for camp resource gathering.
The Tree Branch counts as ordinary loot and goes into the standard inventory rather than the new Sturdy Gatherables Chest, since it is a Weapon-tab item.
Combat Use
The Tree Branch hits with a slow swing and modest damage, slotting into the same one-handed slot Kliff uses for swords and clubs. It is best used as a transitional weapon, a roleplay option, or for screenshots; the in-game stat line is meaningfully below crafted or refined weapons obtained through normal progression.
