Description

The Serpent Axe is an axe with two skins. The Tyrian skin is larger and dye affects the whole axe, while the Canthan axe is smaller and dye only affects the serpent symbol and yellow pieces of the axe. Note that there is no difference between the inventory icons except the Tyrian skin icon will show no coloring from dye. The axe head resembles a boot. The blade is engraved with the image of a serpent (the same as the Guild symbol), hence its name.

Other axes with this appearance:

• Cho Wei's Axe (Unique Item)

Location

• Serpent Axes are a random drop. Most max Serpent Axes are from either chests from GW:EN (inscribable and Tyrian version confirmed) or Shing Jea (Hard Mode - Canthan version). Uninscribable Tyrian versions drop in the Prophecies Campaign also - players have claimed to have obtained them in the Fissure of Woe.
• Lower level Serpent Axes (white and blue) are a common drop from monsters on Shing Jea Island.
• Serpent Axes may also drop in the Nightfall Campaign but this has yet to be proven.

Dye

• Dyed red by default.
