Poplar Wood & iron axe?

[jaz]

Hello :)

I began my 3th game and I recognized that I cannot cut down the polar with my iron axe, like I did before in the other games but the chainsaw is only available after the "Hot Spring Villa"-Quest, which comes after the quests for the south block.

Am I overseeing something or is this a mistake after the last patch?

Greetings,
Jaz

From the wiki:
"This tree requires the Fishermans Axe to chop down. "

So, it works as intended. Just need to upgrade the axe and you will be able to cut them.
You also need to upgrade the worktable to be able to upgrade the axe to fisherman iirc.

Aaaaah.. I really did oversee that.
Thank you!

That's strange. I played a couple of minutes ago and cut down poplar trees with my iron axe. I'm on my third character and I have never noticed that there was a fisherman's ax. You always learn something new in this game.

You don't require anything more than the basic axe and lots of attack

Like how attacking a monster with a wooden stick might hit it for 1 damage w/ 1 attack, if you had say 100 attack it might hit for 100 damage

But if you had an iron sword you might hit for 100 damage w/ 1 attack, if you had say 100 attack it might hit for 200 damage

Trees have a defense value you need to overcome to do damage to them

Having better attack value axes means that they do more of the lifting, but with enough strength you can get by that
