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 who pre-ordered RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011 received a Genuine quality version of the weapon. The March 1, 2011 Patch made these weapons tradable. It was originally stated that normal quality versions would be available via crafting after the pre-order period ended. However, the details on this are still unknown. Note: crafting this weapon will not result in the Genuine quality prefix.
