Bronze axe (Chambers of Xeric)
The Bronze axe is a melee weapon and a tool utilized for cutting down trees in Old School RuneScape. Within the prestigious Chambers of Xeric, the Bronze axe can be found as loot in the various chests scattered throughout the raid. This weapon is a low-tier axe, categorized as a Level 1 Woodcutting tool, making it accessible to novice players who are just beginning their journey in the world of Gielinor.
When wielded, the Bronze axe provides a +1 attack bonus, making it slightly effective against low-level monsters. Its primary purpose, however, lies in its utility as a woodcutting tool, allowing players to harvest logs from trees for use in various crafting and fire-making activities.
In terms of woodcutting efficiency, the Bronze axe enables players to cut logs at a moderate speed, but it will quickly be outclassed by higher-tier axes such as the Iron axe or better. Players will often seek to upgrade their axes as they progress in skill level to enhance their ability to gather resources more efficiently.
The Bronze axe can also be equipped in the player’s weapon slot, permitting players to equip it while engaging in combat, though it is generally not preferred due to its lower damage output compared to other weapons.
Upon entering the Chambers of Xeric, players should be aware that the Bronze axe, while offering minimal combat capability, serves as a tool that can be utilized for quick access to woodcutting supplies during the raid. Notably, certain combat encounters may require swift access to resources for prayer restoration or crafting ammunition, making the Bronze axe a potentially strategic item despite its low tier.
Once obtained, players are able to store or trade the Bronze axe within the loot system of the raid, ensuring that it can be a shared commodity amongst teammates who may need it for various tasks.
