Axes

Axes are tools which are used to cut trees. Since axes are tools, they can be dropped by pressing the backspace key. They will also be dropped when the player resets or dies by any other means, such as falling into lava in the Volcano or death by Chop Saw. But if the player falls and dies in the part destroy limit, the axes are still in their inventory (if it was not hold out during the fall). When they are dropped, the axe will emit yellow sparkling effects (not by pressing the backspace key) and only the player which owns the axe, and any player who is Whitelisted can pick it up.

Occasionally axes can glitch out and fall into the void and can't be recovered.

''There is probably a limit on the number of axes you can have on your load/save.This is currently being tested. This only affects one kind of axe (e.g. If you have 999,999 fire axes and 2 alpha axes, only the fire axes would disappear).''

The limit has so far been observed to be less than, or equal to 40. A recommendation would be thirty, or less of one kind of an axe to be safe. The player's inventory does not count towards the total amount of axes (being tested), but the axes in their inventory will be deleted alongside any axes on their save/load.

These axes are standard axes that they can buy and obtain from Wood R Us or random people's land.

Basic Hatchet
The Basic Hatchet is the first axe in the game. It is the starter axe for every player, however it is very slow in speed and it takes up to ten hits to subdue even an Oak Tree. It is dark grey in coloration and has the signature dark yellow band at its handle. The basic hatchet also replaced the stone axe.

You cannot cut some elm trees with this axe. '''The axe can be found and bought at the Wood R Us store. It is the most common, and as well cheapest axe in the game. It is located on the shelf closest to the front desk.'''

Special Axes are collectible axes that are rare and most of them are unobtainable through regular means of purchasing. They are thrown into the marketplace board. You can buy them among players, but all Special Axes risk going extinct in the game.

Duplication usually keeps the axes populated, though.

Alpha Axe of Testing
The Alpha Axe is a rare axe. It has a white handle with a symbolic pink strap. The Alpha Axe has a worn, pink blade (it is unknown if the pink is supposed to be painted or if it is the actual material of the Axe). The Alpha Axe is slightly better than the Beta Axe and slightly less effective than the Rukiryaxe and the End Times Axe, and is uncommon (due to it going off sale.) It is common for long-time players to have one on display.

The Alpha Axe can no longer be obtained, as it was removed from Wood R Us. Before, it was obtainable If you went to the far right corner, and slip between the two sawmills where you sell wood and go towards the direction of the store you will see the Alpha Axe box. But you have to grab it quickly and pick it up before you die. Because it is just like in the volcano, you lose health the longer you're in there, except you lose it faster than in the volcano. The Alpha axe was removed in its retirement stand as of early 2016. However, many users are willing to sell these axes to players, just be aware of the risks when buying.

Cost During Alpha Testing: $500

Chop Size: Large 

Chop Speed: Fast 

Boxed Rarity: Insanely Rare

Unboxed Rarity: Very Rare

Beta Axe of Bosses
Beta Axe of Bosses, often simply referred to as the 'Beta Axe' was purchasable at Wood R Us for $1,100. It was removed after the Beta Stage closed, similar to the Alpha Axe when the Alpha Stage closed. Like the Alpha axe it comes in a stylised box, the Beta Axe has a blue equivalent entitled "BETA AXE".

This axe is distinguishable by its blue band and the handle's dark finish. It has a fairly decent cut-rate making it a decent axe for the money. The Beta Axe is good for a many of the tougher jobs, such as cutting lava wood, or other generally tough trees or wood types.

Cost During Beta Testing: $1,100

Chop Speed: Quick 

Boxed Rarity: Rare

Rukiryaxe
The Rukiryaxe, or the Shark Axe, as it is also commonly called, is currently the second best axe in-game for all woods except Lava Wood. It is generally easy to obtain, but it requires at most $8040 money. The Rukiryaxe is not available for regular purchase.

After purchasing all items needed to obtain this Axe, then the player must go to the Snow biome, and blast their way inside with dynamite if they wish to use a vehicle. Upon arrival, they must turn right and follow the Rock cliffs. After a while of continuing along the wall, the player will notice a small cutout in the mountains. Getting nearer to the right edge, the player must spy around for a transparent red eagle that can be found on the side of the wall.

Fire Axe
The Fire Axe is an axe which came inside the Fiery Gift of Lumber that was available at Wood R Us for $14,400 Money from December 17 to early December 25, 2015. This item was a 2015 Christmas Gift. The axe was primarily designed to cut Lava Wood, hence its name Fire Axe (See below paragraph) its rapid cutting rate for the wood and slow cutting rate for every other wood. It is advisable to buy one of these as well as the your existing axe, especially if it is a Rukiryaxe you have alongside it, as this Fire Axe is hopeless when it comes to chopping down other trees like: Pine, Oak, etc. On a lighter note, the axe is very good at subduing Lava Wood, more so than with any other axe. If you prefer to travel up the Volcano Obstacle with a cheaper axe, like the Steel Axe or perhaps the Hardened Axe, it is advisable to keep a fire axe at home and chop it up later with that fire axe instead of a Rukiryaxe, or any other axe you may use. If you use the trick of leaving straight before you die, or have a 100% success rate (and full frames), you should take it up with you. This axe now questions if it is easier to go to the Swamp and get Gold Wood, or go to the volcano and get Lava Wood.

Candy Cane Axe
The Candy Cane axe, or referred to as the Candy axe, is an axe which came inside the Sweet Gift that was available at Wood R Us for $6,000 Money. This item was a 2016 Christmas Gift. It is unknown what the true use of this axe is, since when used on any tree, the axe simply falls out of the user's hands, much like how any normal axe falls out of a user's hands when cutting Phantom Wood unless it is an End Times Axe. However, due to its price, it is probable that there will be a use for this axe, and like the Fire Axe, it might be able to chop a specific tree in a future update.

Gifted Rarity: Extremely Rare

Boxed Rarity: Fairly Rare

Gold Axe
The Gold Axe is one of the most illustrious tools for processing wood in the game. This axe has the highest hit damage to trees and is capable of chopping down almost all trees in a single hit. Currently, the only users permitted to use this axe are personally given it by Defaultio, meaning it is unobtainable to regular users.

The axe is only obtainable to Defaultio's close friends that play Lumber Tycoon 2. People who hack to get the axe usually get it, but when they leave, the axe disappears and would get banned from the game. Normally, when some players hack to get the axe, they drop it when they are about to leave.

Cost: $500K-$1M
