Judging the Axe is the repeatable step of the Story of Axes chain: you bring the God of Mountains an axe from a Dark Axe Stump and he tells you whose it is. You keep trying until he hands you the Tree Cutter's Steel Axe.
How it works
- Accept The Story of Axes from the God of Mountains. It must be in progress to start Judging the Axe.
- Kill Dark Axe Stumps for an Axe (it drops about 60% of the time).
- Talk to the God of Mountains and start Judging the Axe. He takes your Axe when you accept.
- Hand the quest in. You get one of six axes at random:
- Tree Cutter's Steel Axe, the right one (about 10 in 100)
- Chil Sung's Steel Axe, Tree's Steel Axe, Chil Nam's Steel Axe, Steel Axe for Tree Cutters, Broken Steel Axe (about 18 in 100 each; none of these is the one)
- Repeat from step 2 until you get the Tree Cutter's Steel Axe. While you hold it you cannot start the quest again.
- Take it to the Tree Cutter in Tiger Forest II to finish The Story of Axes (49,000 EXP and a Storybook on the Story of Axes).
Common problems
- The quest does not loop. It does now. Each attempt costs one Axe, so every try needs a fresh one.
- I got the wrong axe. That is normal; the other five are decoys.
