Description
The Forever tooltip adds a use effect that gathers Copper, Tin, Silver or Iron veins without the Mining profession. It has 30 charges, and the axe stays after those uses. This item-level-23 two-handed axe requires character level 18 and gives +10 Strength. The Forever database lists , the first boss, as its drop source.
Effect
If both profession slots are already taken, the axe provides a limited source of ore without learning Mining. It cannot replace the profession: charges run out, and smelting still needs a separate solution.
