The Sharpened Volcano Fragment is a promotional melee weapon for the Pyro. It appears as an obsidian axe with glowing lava flowing along the blade's extreme edges.

This weapon deals 20% less damage than the standard Fire Axe, but ignites enemies upon contact.

Players who pre-purchased RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011 received a Genuine quality version of the weapon.

People who crafted this weapon before March 15, 2011 will have their axe upgraded to a Vintage variation.

Blueprint

Reclaimed Metal Axtinguisher Sharpened Volcano Fragment
Item icon Reclaimed Metal.pngx2 + Item icon Axtinguisher.png = Item icon Sharpened Volcano Fragment.png


[[Pyro Token|Template:Dictionary/items/pyro token]] [[Melee Token|Template:Dictionary/items/melee token]] Scrap Metal Possible Results
Token pyro large.png + Token melee large.png + Item icon Scrap Metal.png =
Item icon Axtinguisher.png Item icon Homewrecker.png Item icon Powerjack.png Item icon Back Scratcher.png
Item icon Sharpened Volcano Fragment.png

Note: The second blueprint simply makes a Pyro's melee weapon; there is still a chance of getting the Axtinguisher, Homewrecker, Powerjack, or Back Scratcher instead. There will be a 20% chance of crafting this item using the second blueprint.
