A nice beginner's axe, the Arcane Forged Axe is sold by Raelis Dawnstar, a local Blood Elf vendor at Falconwing Square. It has a fair DPS rate and a reasonable price, perfect for anyone just arriving to Eversong Woods.
This is a very good weapon to do theoricrafting. Its 2.00 speed and its very small high/low damage difference help alot with maths.
It also, like the other weapons Raelis sells, looks a hell of a lot cooler than a lot of weaponry for many levels to come.
