Compare these two →Weapon Progression
Wood Axe progression is three separate tracks. This page only summarises them and sends you to the chain that actually holds the detail.
- Weapon Level
- Progress belongs to the Wood Axe itself. Using another weapon does not advance Wood Axe Weapon Level.

Progressive Challenges and Weapon Prestige are separate tracks. Each page lists its own requirements, so check the exact wording there.
Wood Axe progress not moving?
- • Make sure you are using the Wood Axe itself.
- • Weapon Level belongs to each weapon separately — kills with another weapon advance that weapon’s own track.
- • On a Progressive Challenge, check that the tracked action matches word for word.
Challenges Using the Wood Axe
Story Challenges are few and exact, so they are listed by name. Progressive Challenges and Weapon Prestige Challenges are whole chains, so they link out to their own pages instead of being copied here.
