the +8 mithril axe "Arga"

+8 broad axe

Speed brand
+40 Will

Desirability

With a base damage of 13 and a min delay of 0.467 once you account for the speed brand, Arga isn't capable of the raw brutality of a two-handed axe, but does swing marvelously fast and allows you to wear a shield. The willpower boost is minor, but welcome. Couple it with some solid slaying sources and this cleaving weapon can be extremely effective throughout the game.
