The dragon felling axe is a type of felling axe requiring an Attack level of 60 to be equipped, and a Woodcutting level of 61 to be used. Players can create the axe by using a felling axe handle on a dragon axe while having a hammer in their inventory, and standing next to an anvil with level 61 Smithing; this process is irreversible, but the felling axe itself remains tradeable.
Dragon felling axes will chop at the same speed as a normal dragon axe. If the player is carrying Forester's rations however (either in the inventory or inside a Forestry kit), they will receive 10% more Woodcutting experience each time they successfully chop a tree and gain a 20% chance not to receive logs when chopping trees (or tree roots in the Rising Roots Forestry event), at the cost of consuming one ration. This also results in a 20% chance to not receive anima-infused bark from tree roots.
If the player has no rations on their person, the felling axe will function like a regular dragon axe. Like all felling axes, the dragon felling axe is 2-handed.
The dragon felling axe has a special attack, Lumber Up, that it shares with the dragon, infernal, 3rd age, and crystal axes and their variants. It temporarily boosts the player's Woodcutting level by 3, consuming 100% of the player's special attack energy. The boost degrades every 60 seconds, with the player's Woodcutting level returning to normal after 3 minutes. Using Preserve can increase the duration by 50%.
The special attack can be used to allow players to chop with the axe itself starting at level 58 Woodcutting, although it cannot be used without the level 60 Attack required to wield the axe.
Note that any levels boosted above 99 with the special attack will be treated as 99. Therefore, you will start to receive diminishing returns with the special attack at level 97 and 98[1], with visible boosts past level 99 only influencing the pet and clue nest chances.[2]
