Where To Get A Woodcutter's Axe

Discover where to find the essential Woodcutter's Axe in No Rest for the Wicked. Learn about random spawns in The Shallows and alternative purchase options.

Alright, so you're looking for the Woodcutter's Axe in No Rest for the Wicked? This is a pretty crucial tool for gathering resources, so let's get you sorted. You'll primarily find it in the very first area you explore, called The Shallows.

The tricky part is that loot in this game is randomized. That means the exact spot where the axe appears will be different for everyone. It could be just lying out in the open, or tucked away inside a chest. The best advice here is to really explore every single nook and cranny of The Shallows. Don't be afraid to backtrack to the beaches either, as sometimes items can respawn there even after you've already passed through.

If you've scoured The Shallows and still come up empty, don't sweat it! There's a reliable backup plan. Head over to the Mess Hall and look for a vendor named Fillmore. You can buy an axe directly from him. He's located just north of The Shallows. Fun fact: if you're heading towards Sacrament, Fillmore might even join you on your journey, so he could be on his way to town with you anyway.

Once you've got your axe, look for any thin-looking trees. Just walk up to one and interact with it to start chopping. You'll need to hit them about half a dozen times to bring them down. Don't worry, these trees will respawn after some time, so you can always come back for more materials.
