The crystal axe is an item used in Woodcutting. It requires 71 Woodcutting and Song of the Elves to create and use, with 50 Agility and 70 Attack required to wield it. It possesses the same special attack as the dragon axe, and gives the player a 15% increase in efficiency chopping logs over the rune axe, surpassing the 10% increase of the dragon axe. This makes the crystal axe approximately 4.5% faster than the dragon axe.
Players can create a crystal axe via a singing bowl by combining a dragon axe, 120 crystal shards and a crystal tool seed. Doing so requires level 76 Smithing and Crafting to sing the crystal (the levels can be boosted), and grants 6,000 experience in both skills. If the player does not meet the Smithing and Crafting requirements, they can have Conwenna or Reese sing the crystal for them for an extra 60 crystal shards, for a total of 180.
The crystal axe does not consume charges for certain activities where it provides no benefit compared to other axes:
- Chopping tendrils in the Tar Swamp and Abyss
- Chopping jungle and fixing the village fence during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame
- Chopping ents
- Chopping the meat tree, roots obstacle or saplings in the Chambers of Xeric
- Finishing off growthlings during the fight with Bryophyta
- Splitting arctic pine logs
A dangerous death in PvP causes the crystal axe to revert to a dragon axe, which will be then dropped for the killer. All crystal shards will be lost should this happen.

Special attack[edit | edit source]
The crystal axe has a special attack, Lumber Up, that provides a visible +3 boost to Woodcutting (meaning that from level 72-75 Woodcutting, you can use the special attack to obtain magic logs from a magic tree). This consumes 100% of the player's special attack energy, though it cannot be used without the level 70 Attack and 50 Agility requirement to wield the axe.
Degradation[edit | edit source]
When created, the crystal axe starts off at 10,000 charges and degrades like all crystal equipment, with one charge being depleted for each item that is chopped using it; once the axe's charges have been fully depleted, it can still be used to cut wood, but will act like a dragon axe. Wearing an elven signet while using crystal equipment will provide a 10% chance to not consume charges. Certain actions that require an axe, but do not benefit from the extra effect of a crystal axe, will not consume any charges.
In order to add charges to the crystal axe, crystal shards must be used on it (this can be done before it is inactive as well), with each shard granting 100 charges, up to a maximum of 20,000. Dismantling a crystal axe will return the dragon axe and crystal tool seed to the player and doing so will lose all crystal shard charges that were previously loaded.
