trevor92223 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 A dragon wc axe gives you about 15% more the chop speed, so if you're in it for the long run it's definitely worth the investment, best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troacctid Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Q) Tyky95 - How much better is a dragon axe compared to rune? Is the dragon axe really worth having? A) Mod Mark - Yes! I chatted to our balancing department about this today and learnt the following: Dragon axes are approximately 5 to 10% better than rune axes. This depends entirely on what sort of tree you are hitting and what your current Woodcutting level is, but its roughly 5-10% better. Having a better axe means more logs and therefore more xp. The nice thing about dragon axes is that they are rare enough to hold their trade values this means you can be relatively safe in the knowledge that you can buy one and resell it. Any extra logs you did get from using it would more than pay for any money you might lose from a shifting resell price, assuming you used it efficiently while you were trying it out. Mod Roderick Even if you only notice a small difference between two tools, over time the difference will really add up. It's always pleasing to find threads which discuss such issues, where people take the effort to test items and publish their findings on the forums. Yeah, the d axe is worth it.
