The axe is one of the most useful tools to yield in RuneScape Dragonwilds, and you can upgrade from the basic version pretty easily. Obtaining the first axe is quite simple if you follow the basic quests. There isn't much to be done to obtain it, and it's provided to you early. You can use it to chop down trees, complete the starter quests, and increase your skill levels to unlock new spells. Logs are essential part of completing the first set of quests, especially since you'll need to build you shelter.

Don't try to rush to this area, as the enemies you face here will be harder to navigate around (compared to the threat at the start of the game). To find Copper, look for rocks with gray and orange exteriors. To find Tin, you'll want to mine rocks that have yellow-green splotches on the surface.

You'll be able to get much more logs as chopping down trees becomes easier. There are certain trees that provide more wood, but you can't chop it down with the starter axe. The Bronze Axe will have no problem in swiping those big logs down at ease. While you can take your time trying to craft this magnificent tool, make sure to pick up sufficient Tin and Copper when you are at the correct locations.
