In order to create the Golden Axe, you will need to morph the Woodcutter’s Axe recipe by adding a Goldoterion.

These are the requirements you need to meet in order to synthesize a Golden Axe:

1. Obtain a Goldenite: You will need the Goldenite to create the Goldoterion.
2. Collect an Amber Crystal: The Goldoterion recipe also requires an Amber Crystal.
3. Synthesize the Goldoterion: The Goldoterion is the third morph in the Ingot tree.

Gathering the Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need to obtain Goldenite and an Amber Crystal.

Goldenite

There is plenty of Goldenite available in the Nemed region. Use a Woodcutter’s Axe with Gathering Rank 2 on any of the boulders around the region to obtain the Goldenite.

Amber Crystal

The Amber Crystal is also available in the Nemed region.

Fast travel to Nemed Forest – Dragon Tree. Use a Woodcutter’s Axe with Gathering Rank 2 on the amber-colored crystals to obtain the ingredient.

Synthesizing the Golden Axe

Once you obtain the ingredients, return to the Atelier and synthesize the Goldoterion.

The Goldoterion is the third and final morph in the Ingot recipe tree:

• Ingot into Startium (requires Arknite).
• Startium into Creaminea (requires a Degenesis Stone).
• Creaminea into Goldoterion (requires Goldenite).

After that, select the Woodcutter’s Axe recipe. Unlike the other gathering tools, this morph does not have a minimum Quality requirement.

Start by adding a Lumber-category ingredient to the Effect 2 loop.

Insert Eiche in the Effect 1 loop, which requires Ice Element Level 3. After that, follow the synthesis flow and continue to the loop below this one.

Insert a Thread-category ingredient in the Traits loop.

Add Eiche to the Effect 3 loop.

Add Eiche again to the second Effect 1 loop. This loop requires Ice Element Level 4.

Use the Goldoterion in the Recipe loop to complete the morph. This loop has a Fire Element Level 2 requirement.

You can start the synthesis right away, and then add all effects later via Item Rebuild.

In order to max out all the Golden Axe’s loops, you will need the ingredients listed below:

• A Goldoterion ingot (Lightning Element Level 3 loop).
• A second Goldoterion ingot (Lightning Element Level 5 loop).
• A third Goldoterion ingot (Fire Element Level 6 loop).
• A Lumber-category ingredient (Wind Element Level 2 loop).
• Another two Lumber-category ingredients (Ice Element Level 4 loops).
• A fourth Lumber-category ingredient (Lightning Element Level 4 loop).
• A fifth Lumber-category ingredient (Ice Element Level 5 loop).
• A Gemstone-category ingredient (Fire Element Level 3 loop).
• A second Gemstone-category ingredient (Lightning Element Level 4 loop).
• A third Gemstone-category ingredient (Lightning Element Level 5 loop).
• A fourth Gemstone-category ingredient (Ice Element Level 5 loop).
• A Woodcutter’s Axe (Lightning Element Level 3 loop).
• A second Woodcutter’s Axe (Lightning Element Level 6 loop).

While the Woodcutter’s Axe morph does not have a minimum Quality requirement, the Golden Axe recipe itself requires at least 300 Quality in order to max out all loops.

Once complete, the Golden Axe will have these effects:

• Masterful Chopping (Gathering Rank 3).
• Gathering Up XL.
• Add (Lumber).
• Add (General Goods).
