Ack! Does it really sell for that much? It's ridiculously
easy to acquire for any party in their low 30s or higher (as
long as they have a bard or enchanter that knows what they're
doing). My guild is not the camping or powergaming type, but
we managed to pick up one of these axes for just about
everyone in a few hours fighting in that area of Permafrost
for experience.
The spawn in the area is all linked, so it's very difficult to
crack (thus the need for a bard or enchanter). But once you
break it it's pretty easy. Our biggest problem turned out to
be soloers coming in and trying to steal/beg a turn from an
area they clearly couldn't have handled on their own. We
invited them to join our group (we had 8 people there in two
parties), and made sure every one who did join got a special
item before they left. But a couple of them refused to join,
yet hung around calling us names for not giving them a turn.
Sometimes I just don't understand people...
The axe is a wonderful item for a bard. 6 dam 22 del and only
2.5 wt. It solved all my stamina problems - I can now solo
two and a half blue mobs in succession (with a cleric healing
me of course) before I start to run low on stamina. It also
has the cool medieval axe look, instead of the stone-age axe
look of the PGT.

It does come from the lesser blade fiend in Unrest. It's a
rare spawn. Somehow I saw three of them my first week in
Unrest, and I've never seen any since. It drops the Pugius as
the common drop, and the Gladius (7/29 short sword) as the
rare drop. I know some of the folks on this list know where
it spawns. Dunno if they'll share that info though. It looks
like the rock dervishes in Lavastorm, except it's composed of
flying blades instead of flying rocks.
