Axe of Legend
The Axe of Legend (also known as the +2 Axe) is a weapon found only in the Nintendo-port of Ultima IV.
Description[edit]
Zircon of Minoc had long had visions foretelling the arrival of a hero who would need his artistry. When the Stranger happened upon the Cave of the White Stone while passing through the Serpent's Spine mountains, the caretakers of the shrine therein would bequeath unto to the hero the Scale of Exodus, which the smith could use to forge the Axe of Legend.[1]
Once forged, this weapon could only be equipped by fighters, making it a good choice for Geof should the Stranger not be of this particular class.
Mechanics[edit]
The Axe of Legend deals just slightly more damage than the Magic Wand, but only at close range.
From a tactical point of view, a fighter equipped with this weapon is still inferior to a mage or druid equipped with a wand, or to a tinker or paladin equipped with a Magic Axe.
