1122Overview3344A decent alternative to a stone axe. But it won't cut through hardwood.5566Copper Axe is the second-tier chopping tool in Windrose. It is a faster and more durable alternative to the Stone Axe for soft Wood, but per its own item description it still cannot cut Hardwood. Players who need Hardwood for mid-game carpentry or shipyard recipes have to wait for the Iron Axe tier.7788Item Info991010PropertyValueCategoryTool, AxeRarityUncommonDurability140ATK255 (Crude)Item Level3Weight0.8Stack Size11111Crafting12121313StationIngredientsOutputDurationWorkbench Lvl 15x Copper Ingot, 5x Wood1x Copper Axe1s1414Loot Sources15151616The Copper Axe is a craft-only tool with no current guaranteed loot source surfaced by the in-game loot tables. Because its ingredients come from the same Copper Caves chain that also feeds armor and station upgrades, crafting is always the practical route.17171818Vendor Availability19192020The Copper Axe is not bought or sold by any vendor.

The axe is optional if you already have a stack of Stone Axes and no pressure on Wood supply, but the upgrade is cheap and the durability jump makes long chopping sessions much less disruptive.37373838If the goal is Hardwood, skip this tier entirely and save the Copper Ingot for Iron Axe prerequisites. A single Copper Axe never feels wasted, but sinking five more copper into a second one instead of moving up to Iron is rarely the right call.39394040Tips41414242Batch your tool upgrades: every time you smelt a fresh 10 Copper Ingot run, set five aside for a tool (Axe or Pickaxe) and five for station or weapon work.The Copper Axe does not have a durability repair option in-game, so pair it with a stack of spare Wood and Copper Ingot for quick re-crafts during long sessions.Its 255 Crude damage is identical to the Iron and Swamp axes. The ATK rating on axes is flat across mid and late game, so do not expect noticeably faster kills from the upgrade path.43434444See Also45454646ToolsCopper PickaxeStone AxeIron AxeSwamp AxeCopper IngotWorkbench47474848Game Data49495050Properties51515252PropertyValueItem Level3Weight0.85353Crafted By54545555Crafted at: Workbench56565757IngredientQuantityCopper Ingotx5Woodx55858Unlocked By59596060Discovery: unlocks alongside one-handed weapons and copper toolsCoastal Jungle progressionCopper Ingot production61616262Disassembles Into63636464MaterialQuantityCopper Ingot×5Wood×5
