How to obtain it.
The Forever record lists Rhahk’Zor, the first Deadmines boss, as its source. This is a bind-on-pickup drop, not a guaranteed tool on every run.
Deadmines · Route, maps and quests ↗Put your find to use.
Bring the axe when you specifically need one of the four supported ores for a recipe or quest.
Stand near a supported vein and use the item on it. Its spell record lists a five-second cast and five-yard range.
Check the remaining charges afterwards. Save them for a defined need rather than taking every possible detour.
Check these limits first.
- Thirty charges do not establish thirty fully emptied nodes or a fixed ore yield.
- Gold, Mithril, Truesilver, Thorium and higher-tier new ores are not named in the effect.
- Bag use, pick requirements and recharging have not been independently tested here. “Without Mining” does not establish a bypass for every weapon rule.
- Gathering and smelting are separate. The axe does not teach smelting recipes.
Keep it, try it or pass?
Useful for a character with two other primary professions and a limited need for early ore. Its charges and restricted ore list make it unsuitable as a permanent Mining replacement. Do not change professions solely because of this drop.
