Black Metal Axe — Transmog Set Guide
2 viewsOverview
The 
Black Metal Axe is a one-handed axe from the very first release of World of Warcraft. It is a low-level item of uncommon quality, but its stark, grim model makes the look sought after by fans of classic aesthetics.
In appearance it is a heavy blade of dark, almost black metal on a short haft, with no glow and no magical ornamentation. This brutal minimalism fits well into "old-school" warrior, rogue, and hunter looks.
Source
The axe drops from one specific creature, so farming it will require patience.
- The source is Flesh Eater, a rare enemy in the Duskwood zone.
- The drop chance is very low — about 0.16%, so the look almost never drops from a single kill.
- The item only becomes soulbound when equipped, so until then it is tradable and sometimes appears on the auction house.
The Flesh Eater does not spawn constantly, and time passes between its respawns. If you kill it and the axe does not drop, you will have to wait for the creature to appear again.
Visual Fit
- It suits harsh warrior looks in dark, steely tones without bright effects.
- It pairs well with leather and mail sets in black-and-gray shades.
- It is fitting for rogue and hunter looks that call for a compact one-handed axe of a stern design.
- A great choice for "realistic" sets without magical glow, where the weapon should look like a real battle weapon.
Tips
Farming is easier on a high-level character — the Flesh Eater dies instantly, and the main difficulty is its rare spawn and low drop chance.
Before a long hunt, check the auction house in your region: the axe is tradable before being equipped, and sometimes it is easier to buy than to farm.
Duskwood is open with no prerequisites, so you can reach the zone right away.
If you are searching for the Flesh Eater manually, sweep through its spawn points across the western and central parts of the zone without lingering too long in one place.
The axe works as a look for any class that uses one-handed axes, so you can farm it on whichever character is most convenient.
Once obtained, you only need to add the axe to your appearance collection once to permanently unlock the look on your account.
