Silver Axe Theory

[TheLostEmpire]

I was just thinking a little while ago about the silver axe. It makes every tree it cuts down have a 100% chance of having a special pattern. However, it lasts maybe a few more hits than a normal axe. It takes three hits to cut down a tree. I have not been able to test this theory myself so I was wondering if anyone would try it and post back here for the results.

Theory:

Use a normal/Golden axe for the first two hits and then use the silver axe for the final cut.
Would this triple the amount of special tree stumps that you can get?

The only flaw I can think of is that by only using the silver axe once does not activate it's ability, and that the amount of hits does not matter and the axe would still break after x amount of trees. I don't think the later would be the problem as my normal axe usually breaks regardless if the tree was chopped down.

Can any one test this?

It will take time, but I will test it. Actually I was thinking the same thing as you and was going to do the exact same thing regardless

Update: I chop a tree 2 times with regular axe and then final chop with silver axe and the result is a rare stump. confirmed!

Awesome thanks so much! The amount of rare stumps has been tripled. Hopefully more people will learn of this neat trick.

Nice find! Will definitely be doing this when I plant rare stumps around my camp locations c:

Heck ya! And I am pretty sure that this extends the life of the silver axe as well. Big benefit as long as you have room for 2 shovels

Sweet! This is a great find!

Awesome! I'm gonna use this whenever I get a silver axe.

Yeah, best combo is gold axe with silver axe but i always save and buy all my regular axes (since I dont have gold, ill never know when ill need an axe!)

AWESOME! This will be beneficial to me as I intend to make a mushroom farm. I am still waiting to see another silver axe though.
