The Sharpened Volcano Fragment is a promotional melee weapon for the Pyro. It is an obsidian axe with glowing lava flowing along the blade's extreme edges.
The Sharpened Volcano Fragment ignites enemies upon contact, at the cost of 20% less damage compared to the Fire Axe.
Although the damage penalty of the Sharpened Volcano Fragment is not too severe, this weapon's function is unclear as it is only usable on a class which already has a close-range high-damage source of fire. This makes it a useless weapon in normal games, with its ability only shining in Medieval mode, which disables guns. Being a melee, it also has a naturally higher Critical hit rate than other weapons, which is a useful but unpredictable advantage it has over the Flame Thrower.
The Sharpened Volcano Fragment was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011.
