The Sharpened Volcano Fragment is a promotional melee weapon for the Pyro. It appears as an obsidian axe with glowing lava flowing along the blade's extreme edges.
This weapon delivers 20% less damage than the standard Fire Axe, but has the ability to ignite enemies upon contact.
Players can currently receive the item by pre-ordering RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011. Players that do so will receive a Genuine quality version. Some time following the RIFT pre-order period, the weapon will become available via crafting and weapons received during the pre-order period will be made tradable. However, crafting this weapon will not result in the Genuine quality prefix.
