Chop-it-all axe
I am pretty disappointed with it. The special effect is dull, faint and extremely unimpressive. The item model itself is very nice but it hasn’t lived up to my expectations as a whole.
I personally buy the axe for the infinite uses, not for any silly animation.

Like all the other BL tools it’s soulbound. Since I have 9 characters and play them all off and on I won’t bother with them.
Here’s my opinion:
- Animation/movement: Neither underwhelmed not overwhelmed; perfectly ok
- Effect: Happy enough with it
- Look: Awesome, it is aesthetically pleasing and a little understated, just like I wanted it
- Harvesting duration: I wish it was a little shorter – the quicker gathering is really what adds the most value to the sickle
- Value for money: Price is appropriate, value for money is a little worse than the sickle’s, see above.
- Soulbound status: I would be happier if I could hand it down to an alt if/when a new harvesting tool is released whose effects suit my main character’s style better. Maybe the un-soul-binding could be tied to the purchase of a new tool somehow? When you buy a new one, it comes with an unbind-ticket? Anyway, that’s in the future for now.
All in all, I’m happy with it, and I will buy it tonight for my main. It doesn’t make me squee, but I’m relieved that it is something that isn’t completely out of character for my main, such as a chainsaw would have been.

What drew me to the harvesting sickle, besides the awesome animation, was the shorter harvesting duration. I absolutely love how I can harvest quicker with it – it’s very satisfying. I agree with Pixelpumpkin, the duration adds the most value to those items, or at least as much as the animation and the unlimited uses.
I have my 800 gems ready, but I’m unsure if I should get the axe because of that. :/

I agree with the duration. I was hoping for one long swipe with the axe (longer than 1 usual chop, but shorter than 3 chops) with a lightning bolt that felled the tree. That would be very satisfying animation and would give us shorter harvesting time. Give me that and I’ll buy a few more!

I have 8 toons (commitment issues lol). I would like the tools to be account bound in the way the new zenith weapon skins from achievements are.
