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.
Others who crafted the weapon any time between March 1st and March 15th had theirs converted into vintage versions of the weapon on March 15th, thanks to the March 15, 2011 Patch. The same happened with the Sun-on-a-Stick.
