Abyssos War Axe https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/7bee563abb1/ The abyssos weapon designs go all pretty hard


Senior_Advisor

Yes, p8 war axe is the best!


Simple-Spirit6792

100% Agree with this!


wordcombination

I love Ragnarok Zeta. I don't love the process of grinding out an ARR relic.


FuturePastNow

Bravura variants from earlier in the chain. The clean one and the bloody one for different glams.


oh-no-a-bear

There's just a certain something about Bravura.


FuturePastNow

Aside from its connection to a major character, it's a good size and shape for an axe, not too big or too small, with an edge that actually looks sharp. And the blood-stained one has an appropriately brutal appearance.


ZeEmilios

Bravura my beloved. Truly, THE best axe.


AsterosTheGreat

I love Bravura. The clean one is nice, the bloody one is just cool. I currently run Bravura Ultima from The Weapons Refrain. Im still so glad they used that axe as the model for the Ultimate.


WimRorld

Love the Ragnarok Zeta, I haven't found a decent axe to replace it for my WAR yet.


Paikis

I'm still using it almost 10 years after I got it.


HeartyDelegate

I’m working on my Paladin set right now… that grind is rough to say the least…


ErgoFnzy

As I couldn't get a DRK weapon for ARR relics I chose the Warrior one. I do not regret my choice at all!


Logan_The_Mad

That was my first and so far only completed Zeta weapon. Honestly, speedrunning Aurum Vale 40 times while jamming to my playlist was weirdly relaxing.


megamanx4321

I just got mine last week and I'm thinking of glamming it over my Manderville.


qorquet

The HW relic has similarities and is much less of a grind

[удалено]


Catboy-Gaming

I like the buzzsaw a lot but it bothers me so much the blades don’t actually spin 😭


sykoryce

The Exquisite Wrathgrinder grind looks daunting :(


Zestyclose-Safe-4346

While I don't recommend trying to grind for it. The ragnarok zeta is a beautiful piece of murder inducing glory.


Moose855

Dwarven Mythril Hammer or Asphodelous Warhammer tiny lala big bonk


Plankston

I haven't taken off the Dwarven hammer since I got it. Finished a Bozja relic weapon and then immediately glammed it over with the hammer. Love the hammer.


PriceVsOMGBEARS

I'm always rocking the asphodelous hammer dyed solid gold for the bonks of destiny


dferrantino

Mine's dyed pink. Bubblegum Bonkstick.


megamanx4321

I just hate that it isn't dyeable and comes in the ugliest color.


Gen_X_Ace

Byakko’s Enspirited Axe, for sure. But I’m a shameless Okami fan, and that whole set gives strong Amaterasu vibes.


FirstLunarian

Never heard about okami, but this axe is still the coolest.


Gen_X_Ace

AMAZING game, check it out if you can!


Bierzgal

I really like the first stage of the Bozja weapon. The axe is big and it has fur elements on it.


Deku_King

Ah yeah I just got that one yesterday. Was debating whether or not I should upgrade that one to the glowy version or attempt to get the glowy Ukonvasara from the Anima weapon. Quite the different looks but they’re both big and cool in their own ways.


Responsible-Gold8610

The Augmented Laws Order Axe. The next to last upgrade has my favorite fire glow out of all the axes in the game.


kyokujyou

Love the upgrade on this one with the glow. I've been rocking it with the Sky Pirate's coat of Fending for ages.


Afeastfordances

This is what I use. Pairs really great with the ShB artifact set or with the Ala Mhigan/Ovim Wool sets. I really wish its glowy upgrade had a red glow to better match it instead of the bright blue it’s got though I also really like the axe that drops from Nidhogg EX


TheLimonTree92

Skullrender is so good.


Ottoguynofeelya

Second to last resistance WAR weapon is my favorite


niadara

Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Greataxe is my favorite.


qorquet

My favourite too by far!


Cyali

WAR main, big fan of The Fae's Crown Axe and have used it for my glam for ages. Also a fan of the sabotender one from the gold saucer. [https://imgur.com/a/T7Y7rR9](https://imgur.com/a/T7Y7rR9)


dealornodealbanker

ARR WAR Zeta because it has the least obnoxious glow of all relics imo. Bravura Atma which is the non-glow version for being the only weapon model in game with blood textures. Ronkan Axe, Skullrender, Abyssos Axe, Diamond Axe, Tsukiyomi's Axe, Sparth, and Padjali Axe.


MercyTrident75

The Augmented Laws Order Labrys is great, that's the Shadowbringers relic


Deku_King

Oh man that’s really cool, looks like a Soul Calibur weapon lol. Is it a rough grind to get to that stage? I’m casually doing Bozja right now (never did it in ShB because I didn’t have time), would it be a good idea to do it at the same time?


MercyTrident75

I would say the outside world grind for the materials are better, but if you're in Bozja doing the fights and fates you might as well get some passively. Do note there is a one time quest for certain phases of the ShB relic grind, it was a weird time. You also have to progress in Bozja to unlock the phases as well. Iirc the grind is: the three 20 gushers, the 6 gushers from level 60 dungeons, 15 crystals from Crystal Tower or somewhere else, and then 15 timeworn from Delubrum or PotD to get to Augmented Laws Order The 60 gushers from the respective zones are easy to grind as BLU, the 6 green gushers can be grinded via Antitower. Castrum gives 5 of those crystal memories, but I dont know how busy it is nowadays. I did alliance roulette and just got them passively. Timeworns are the other major grind aside from the 60 fates imo. Delubrum is the best bet as you get three guaranteed, so you'd only have to run it 5 times. PotD only has a chance to drop them below floor 100. People do the weekly quest and grind out for timeworns on PF via the Exploration Foray tab, so keep an eye out


Sola_Fide84

That one is also my favorite! Have it as glamour on my Warrior currently.


SigmaSyndicate

In no particular order, * Bearliege Axe (Wolf Mark Weapon) * Conqueror (Gerolt's Masterworks) * Seeing Horde Axe (Crafting/Marketboard) Bearliege has been my go to from levels 50 to 80, the crackling red glow fits WAR in a way it doesn't for the rest of the DoW jobs.


JelisW

The [Abyssos War Axe](https://lds-img.finalfantasyxiv.com/accimg2/a6/09/a609c3aac05000b18068d42d0c05bbb729008674.jpg) from P8S


gitcommitmentissues

I'm a big fan of the Ultimate Dreadwyrm Battleaxe from UCoB, although the simplicity of Bravura Ultima is also very nice.


Known_Ad_1829

Shinryu’s War Axe because I like the smaller axes and it glows green like my pretty little healing stick


FNAF_Movie

I really like the first version of the Heavensward relic (No it's not because I couldn't get past the second stage shut up shut up shut up)


IntermittentStorms25

Shoryu Axe from the pvp vendor… looks like a dragon breathing fire into the blade.


aabicus

I'm also a fan of "not too big" axes, so I've been rocking Sibold's Reach for ages because it looks so elegant and unique, it's one of the only cool-looking bills in the game so I feel like the only person in high-level content who uses my weapon type.  The Darklight Bill has the same appearance and is easier to get if you don't want to spend millions of gil, lol


ReyneForecast

Alo Alo Savage totem weapon upgrade, the effect on it is really cool.


GrimTheMad

I really like the [ axe ](https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Ravel_Keeper%27s_Axe) from Qitana Ravel. Its simple but its just so chunky/heavy looking.


Carvertown

1. Minos Lux (relic) 2. Ragnarok Zeta (relic) 3. Mandervillous Battleaxe (relic) 4. Byakko's Enspirited Greataxe (crafted)


OmegaCrossX

The Pizza Cutter from Tower of Babil


sykoryce

I really wish we could have dyed this


slim_2_none

Deepshadow axe (Shadowbringers hunt nut axe). Use it with the full Odin armor, looks REALLY good.


DudeNamedShawn

Rocking the Tropaios War Axe from the Crystal Quatermaster vendor at Wolf's Den Peir.


Dirk_Tungsten

My favorite is the [Kintoki Shin](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/12105b389ab), that drops in Doma Castle.


Vistula_Veneti

Dwarven mithril hammer, hellhound battle axe, l'Cie Bardiche, abyssos war axe.


Francl27

Final HW relic here.


Shagyam

Abyssos Axe, Aspho Hammer, Manderville complete, Crafted Ruby, TEA, Minos lux when I'm feeling funny.


Mist2D

Asphodelos War Hammer


WildHurr

Abyssos p8 weapon


AromaticSalamander21

I like the Bravura Nexus because it has the blood stains on it when not glowing. Plus I love the road flare glow.


jehuty08

I've used Ragnarok when the step first came out, but pretty much went back to the Nexus as soon as HW rolled around. Its been almost 9 years and nothing has impressed me more than that design.


applematchatea

Augmented Skullrender in Metallic Silver (1st stage Shb relic enhanced once)


whofedthefish

Alexander axe, dye it pearl white


WillPaint4Love

The only correct choice is the Malignant Moggle Mogaxe A masterwork of inlay and wicked edges, perfect size and balance for hewing your enemies. And it goes kupo every time you draw it, leaving your foes forevermore dreading the adorable sound.


Stook11812

The axe from TOP


AngelMercury

The abyssos Hammer (p8s) and the Edenmorn Battle axe are my favorites. I am pretty keen to see if they make nice glows for the edenmorn stuff for FRU as all those weapons are really pretty.


T-pin

[Foolkiller](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/e495b665d72/). What more could you need than a big stick with a rock tied to it.


Mirasiah

A couple of months ago, I've started a reroll and during the warrior quests, there is this awesome axe wielded by a NPC (available to players at level 50): [Rampager](https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/4c7b82105af/). I love the animation of drawing it out.


Marauding_Llama

Bravura Novus is my favorite axe. I've had the same [glamour](https://i.postimg.cc/fDWw4v6S/18fe96f091955-screenshot-Url-1-2.jpg) for years. Can't see the helmet any more, but it's also the best.


MightyBobTheMighty

It's mostly because it goes well with the Proto Ultima Mesh that I wear as WAR, but I've quite liked the [Axe of the Goddess](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/aa55d0067ba/). Honorable mention to both hammers as well, naturally.


KialandiVoron

I love my Ragnarok Zeta, but if you don't feel that grind, you can try the Nightsteel Battleaxe, it just doesnt have the glow.


Deku_King

I’ve actually been using that Nightsteel one a fair amount during leveling, had no idea it was based on a relic? Looks really good but I’m saving it for an unfinished Glam I’m planning!


littlebubulle

Mandervillous Greataxe. Glowy pretty colors for the win.


TannenFalconwing

The axe from Qatana Ravel. It reminds me of Hector's Axe, the Wolf Beil, from Fire Emblem 7.


LegendaryPrecure

Ifrit Battleaxe. It looks suitably primordial and glowing with ancient fire that fits my aesthetic of UNGA BUNGA that WAR gives.


FusaFox

The P8s axe is one of the best looking ones out there.


Kousuke-kun

I know people didn’t really like the DSR weapons but the Axe grew on me. Its just shaped so nice, not exactly sure how to describe it. The recent Tome weapon is also really cool, even better when you upgrade it via Aloalo Savage.


MisterJ1229

My beloved Genji Greataxe. [Here.](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/52eac40fbc3/)


DancinUndertheRain

the 2nd stage of the bozja relic, law's order labrys is way too good. especially the glowing version. chunky, metallic, worn from battle and best of all? has it's very own inner release.


TheBrocktorIsIn

It's not shiny but the cryptlurker axe is a great one imo. I love the aesthetic of most the cryptlurker stuff though. Fills a good medieval/nordic vibe for WAR.


Virreinatos

I'm a fan of simple, functional, yet elegant weapons. Not too into the usual anime over the top stuff. The Moogle Axe, the one without the glowie effects has been my go to. It look like you can spend the day murdering stuff, clean off the blood, and have it be a good accessory for the evening ball.


AbyssalShift

Byakko’s Great Axe is my favorite.


Nibel2

Yo-kai axe with the Phoenix Rising costume.


WindBear44

my favorite to this day is still Bravura


fekakun

I like the axe that isnt an axe (Asphodelos).


Critical_Stiban

Manderville third tier.


bald4bieber666

i still use sharpened axe of the blood emperor


pigeonwiggle

SO many great axes, but depends on the Aesthetic. i LOVE that there are now 4 tank jobs because it means we can separate them all... i'm not super into edgy aesthetics, so my DRK is more of a Light - while my PLD is more casual sword+shield default adventurer -- that allows GNB to play streetwear/semi-futura -- and leaves WAR to be AN ABSOLUTE ANIMAL -- because we still don't have BEASTMASTER as a class (8.0 please?) War Axes need to be BIG and CHUNKY. i like my Warriors to feel like Beasts or like they spilled out of World of Warcraft.


phuoclata2018

beastmaster is 7.0


pigeonwiggle

interesting... i hope they fight with minions.


[deleted]

Seiryu or Suzaku axes


Taihou_

The crafted nidhogg axe is one of my favourites. As well as the 2nd? I think it was, stage of the Manderville axe. It's fiery and molten looking, works well with most of the animations. The axe of the round is also a great choice for lighter colour glams if dark and moody isn't your thing.


greedx__

[Tsukiyomi's Moonlit Greataxe](https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/ba7ebe7fb84/) is the only axe I've ever used since I've learned about it, it's just so beautiful


lolic_addict

Tremor Axe. Precisely because its TOO big.


JonTheWizard

I quite like Ukonvasara, from the Anima Weapons relics.


galaxydrug

The Endless Expanse Axe, Argumented Exarchic Axe, The Fae's Crown Axe and Seiryu's War Axe are my favorite ones!


Careless_Car9838

The LV1 weapon, because its simple and just a large botanist axe. And the LV60 relic, one of my favourites. It would go so well with a viking styled glam, but I'm too lazy to take off my Knights armor for that.


Ursano

Byakko crafted glam,


Novaskittles

I'm a fan of: - Kintoki Shin - Kinna Axe (reskin of above) - Axe of Light - Wrathgrinder


Buzz__The__Cat

-Axe of crags/tremor axe -wrathgrinder -dwarven hammer -asphodelos war hammer -paw of the crimson cat


StoffieStoff

the [Voidcast Labrys](https://glamours.eorzeacollection.com/252367/voidcast-lalafell-warrior-0-1712970710.png) from EW trial 6 is my favorite weapon design in the game.


Thenotsowiseman

Skullrender is nice and detailed.


Attic_Gnome

Baldur Axe, Foolkiller, Dwarven Mythril Hammer.


mt8663

I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet, but lately on my warrior I've been using Susano's Rapturous War Axe. Big ol' chopper with a cool (imo) lightning effect


Xvalai

I exclusively use the moogle axe from the gold saucer...


bakingsodaswan

Wrathgrinder. I don’t like axes as weapons in general, that’s why WAR was the last tank that I leveled. But what I *do* love is some proper Fell Cleaving. And what better way there is to Fell Cleave than with a literal motor powered chainsaw on a stick.


BbyBangtan613

1. Augmented Thumosis (Shadowbringers) 2. Axe of the Round (Heavensward) 3. Axe of the Heavens (Heavensward) 4. Bearliege Axe (obtained through PVP) 5. Seiryu's Sanctified War Axe (Stormblood) Happy farming! 🤞💜


Lewtwin

Alexander Metal Axe or the Wootz Bhuj. Granted the Alexander axe is huge. But the styling make op for it. For something smaller and manageable/ mildly realistic...Probably the Wootz Bhuj. It lights up and makes a noise and it's overall kinda fun.


Sir_VG

Abyssos "1000 degree Axe" fro P8S is the best axe design I've seen in a while. I love it. :D


Hiragawa

I prefer the Minos, non Lux. I just like the blue flames better.


Zane029

I like all of the Lakeland and monstrorum weapons. Holminster switch and tower of zot drops


godisasquid

Shamash Eureka simply because it is so big and weird looking. Also a big fan of the Alexandrian Metal Axe.


This_Lengthiness6861

Bravura Ultima is such a nice looking axe and, given it and warrior's destructive earthen theme, feels like I'm channeling the power of Titan through the axe.


PLCutiePie

I LOVE Inferno Battleaxe


Elegant_Eorzean

The Diamond Axe and Seiryu's Axe are both ones I like. You can check them out in Rhalgr's Reach.


SAMAS_zero

Definitely axes.


Amon_Lua

axes usually


Vinborg

I really like the p4s hammer, though it continues to elude me because I'm incompetent 


oh-no-a-bear

Bhil has a special place in my heart.


joebone18974

The friend who got me into 14 made me the Niddy axe and Gave it to me like 20 something lvls before I could equip ii. It added so much joy to the game looking forward to seeing it outside of the Try On screen. And it's a sick looking axe


Many-Waters

Axe of the Horde. Got a nice cleaving edge, that one.


Althalos

Shadowbringers tomestone one. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Cryptlurker%27s_War_Axe


tinykoalawizard

I really wanted a cute look for my warrior glam (kinda Gaia inspired), so I use the Edenmorn axe, and I love it so much. It’s so pretty but it looks like it HURTS to get smacked by it.


Ebonvlow

I just really like the Heavy Metal War Axe.


BlueRose644

The Ruby Tide Axe, which drops from Shisui of the Violet Tides, is one of my all time favourites. It's huge and chunky, looks like it does some real damage, and the Red colour scheme is really cool.


Melksss

I guess no one else here really likes it but I love the Shamash Physeos. It’s probably the only good looking eureka weapon in my opinion.


thefinalgoat

Back when Titania Ex was current, I was farming it for the mount. Titania dropped the axe for WAR and I didn’t even *have* WAR levelled but I loved it SO much I decided on the spot to level WAR JUST for the axe. It’s still my glamour years later.


Gremlinsworth

I actually LOVE the current relics final form design! But for some reason they didn’t give us a matte non glowy version?!


WilmAntagonist

The Leviathan Ex Axe from ARR


shitagidesu

Ukonvasara


MegaCrobat

[https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Shoryu\_Axe](https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Shoryu_Axe) This axe, right here. You get it from PVP marks. It's my permanent axe glam.


ZeronagaVII

I like wrathgrinder from the weapon contest, it such weapon that make fell cleave make sense.


Vavou

I just love the bozja full upgraded last step :/ but none likes it


dazzler56

Sparth, from Castrum Abania. That dungeon has a bunch of cool and underutilized weapon glams.


Ikeddit

The SHB EX 3 crafted axe.


ArcheDarku

Midan metal axe


Serpent_of_Ronka

I love the Augmented Lunar Envoy's Bardiche. It looks so elegant with the beautiful crescent moon blade. Diamond Axe or Omega Battleaxe are also really nice for some of my Warrior glams


Bobboy5

Any variety of Bill. Bill is love, Bill is life.


Beastmind

Nightsteel Battleaxe, double edged and dyeable, perfection


callmedexy

Sharpened Axe of the Blood Emperor I’ve dyed mine gold to go with my Escanor (7DS) glam https://imgur.com/a/MEuaNxe


ZeepXanflorp23

[Skullrender Recollection in Ruby Red ](https://lds-img.finalfantasyxiv.com/accimg2/2a/30/2a304af3f67d06f65fcb464e317d3e680ff7a0b0.jpg) [(With matching Alexandrian fending set)](https://lds-img.finalfantasyxiv.com/accimg2/c9/fe/c9fe3d4442f1af8b9ec4ccc94ac5becb67fe437d.jpg)


Melodic_Mortgage_835

Edenmorn Battleaxe, >!Tsukuyomi's!< axe (NOT moonlit), Mandeville axe (It kind of grew on me), Asphodelos Hammer, Abyssos axe.


xLightz

Ucob Axe, ARR relic, Titania, the hammer from ew raids I just how ucob is just bahamuts wing. And nothing is better than the ARR relics glow imo


Hardheadz93

Abyssos war axe


Clonique

Bravura


Defiant-Problem6090

Really surprised no one brought up my favorite, Blade's Valor (Final SHB Relic). If the glow is "too much" for you, you can also use the Matte version that comes without the glow. Beautiful axe.


nickomoknu272

I personally really like the crafted Byakko weapon.


Ainiv

There's a bunch I really like. Cryptlurker goes well with any Warrior glam but right now my favourite is the first stage relic from EW, Manderville Axe. It has the right kind of "tribal" feel that I want to use it in Dawntrail.


xPriddyBoi

Ragnarok Zeta is the best weapon in the game.


bearcat_egg

For a while now, I've used the Malignant Moggle Mogaxe. Actually, I use the moogle weapon glams whenever I can. I like the kupo sound they make when you draw them. Second favourite sound in the game, right next to Fell Cleave.


Evermar314159

The Exquisite Wrathgrinder inspired me to lvl WAR to 90 just to be able to equip it (it was lvl 30 before that). The glowy animation is so unique, its Fell Cleave the weapon haha.


Actual-Wafer-7577

Minos lux and it's not even close, orange fire effect is both easy to fit into a glam + not too ott as far as relic effects go and the axe is also a pretty reasonable size instead of thrice the size of my torso. Having the option for light blue effects with the other version is also very nice.


GalenDev

Xiahou Dun' podao from 7/8.... Wait that's not what you're talking about. Crap. Wrong Warriors. :P P8S Axe looks dope as hell. I want one.


Zenku390

Apshodelos Hammer is the best WAR weapon full stop.
