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.
