Alex’s Advice

It can take quite a few swings of your axe to cut down a cactus, so if your axe is low on durability, be sure to repair it before you go looking for Flexwood.

To craft a Rare Forest Axe, you need to get 5x Cut Amber and 3x Knotroot Rods. Cut Amber can be received by processing Rough Amber in a Gem Cutter, while Knotrood Rods can simply be made by placing Knotroot in a Lumber Mill.
