Dragon axe

The dragon axe is the fastest woodcutting axe available. It is both a weapon (requiring 60 Attack to wield) and a Woodcutting tool (requiring 61 Woodcutting to use). It is a rare drop from Dagannoth Rex, Dagannoth Prime, and Dagannoth Supreme, which inhabit Waterbirth Island. The dragon axe is approximately 5-10% more efficient at getting logs than the rune axeundefined.

Since Cerberus was released on the 27th of August 2015, players may turn a regular dragon axe into an Infernal axe by adding a Smouldering stone to it. This requires 85 Firemaking and will grant the player a 33% chance to burn logs for Firemaking experience whilst cutting. Creating the infernal axe is an irreversible process. The infernal axe will be able to burn 5,000 logs before degrading, requiring another smouldering stone or dragon axe to charge it.

The dragon/infernal axe possesses a special attack that provides a visible +3 boost to Woodcutting (meaning that from level 72-74 Woodcutting, you can use the special attack to obtain magic logs from a magic tree). The special attack requires 100% of the special attack bar, though it cannot be used without the 60 Attack required to wield the axe. It formerly had a Melee-oriented special attack, which lowered the opponent's Defence and Magic by 10%. If the player has a woodcutting level of 58 or higher, the dragon axe's special attack will allow the player to use it as a woodcutting axe, as the player's level will temporarily be raised to 61.

Trivia

 * The Dragon axe's special attack, Clobber, formerly lowered your opponent's Defence and Magic by 10%, until it was updated on 27 March 2014 to boost a player's Woodcutting level by 3, much like the Dragon pickaxe.
 * As with all dragon equipment, the Dragon axe is unique in appearance to its lesser metal counterparts; the Dragon axe's blade looks more like a dragon's wing (similar to the dragon halberd's) than a regular axe blade.
