Dont expect this to be added. 99.99% of suggetions are rejected.''' Ok, so I was thinking about the tools in the game one night in bed and got the idea of a new axe. The Halberd. It is like a battle axe (search on google images to understand what I mean) I wasn't sure if it would be an axe that could chop down trees so I will cover the woodcutting part first and then the melee part of the axe. (I will cover the speed in both parts)

the Recipe would be: Large handle + metal/stone + metal/stone. Then for mithril + R gold, for Bluesteel + R chromite. I have decided on this recipe as it would add a use for the large handle that isn't the battle club. also these things are pretty big.

'''Yes, they are pretty big. But theyre long, not fat.'''

'''Part 1. Woodcutting. '''So if the halberd could chop down trees it would be the opposite of the hatchet, high success rate but slow reload. I was thinking to make up for the slowness there could be a chance to chop a whole large tree down in one. '''A whole tree? High succes rate AND x2 quantity of wood choped? Sounds OP to me even with the slow reload. And we already have a tool thats high success rate and slower reload. Its called an Axe.'''

'''Part 2. Melee. '''The halberd would do more damage than it's sword counterpart but like I said before, it would take quite a bit of time to reload about 5 seconds? I'm not sure as I'm trying not to make it sound op or pointless at the same time. It would also have range a bit shorter than a spear.'''Wait what? a tool that cuts down trees easily, does more damadge and has more range than a sword, and  only costs 1 handle and 2 or 3 seconds more? Say goodbye to spears, swords, axes, and hatchets.'''

Tell me what you think and what should be tweaked.

Change the recipie from large handle to medium.

Add anvil to thhe recipie for the metal ones.

'''It shouldn't do more damadge than a sword. Spear damadge would be more reasonable when you factor in reload time and range.'''

'''Bluesteel halberds would be imensely heavy. 6-7 seconds?'''
