Lvl 2 Axe is the iron tier of the axe ladder, forged through Smithing at Frostmere or at Harun's forge in Dunes West. It is the same item as the Iron Axe of the copper → iron → silver tool progression. Its benefit is a 10% faster swing than the base Axe — yield and Woodcutting XP are unchanged by tool tier.
Use
- Equip the Lvl 2 Axe in a hotbar slot (keys 1–6), same as the base Axe.
- Use it on trees in the Wilderness to gather Wood.
- Each swing yields 1 Wood; the 20 Woodcutting XP is granted when the tree is felled — the same as every axe tier. Tree size changes how many hits it takes to fell the tree, not the yield per hit.
Acquisition
- Forged from scratch through Smithing — no base Axe is consumed.
Crafting cost
Requires Smithing level 10.
| Material | Amount |
|---|---|
| Iron Ingots | 40 |
 Wood

1,000 |
Each Iron Ingot smelts from 6 Iron Ore + 6 Coal, so a full craft works out to roughly 240 ore and 240 coal end-to-end.
Durability
The Lvl 2 Axe has 4,000 total durability and spends 1 durability per swing, regardless of tree size.
