AXE & CLEAVER EVOLUTION - 1,000 RPG ICONS
Axes and cleavers that evolve, branch and combine
1,000 unique fantasy axe and cleaver icons organized for incremental upgrades, roguelike rewards, crafting and elemental fusion. Ten weapon types share a consistent illustrated style, with five visual stages along every path.
Battle axe · Great axe · Hand axe · Bearded axe · Double axe · Hatchet · Tomahawk · Cleaver · Butcher cleaver · Executioner axe
10 types × 20 paths × 5 stages
Each weapon type includes 100 icons: one Neutral path, seven elemental paths and twelve fusion paths, each with five stages. Across the pack, that makes 200 five-stage chains and 1,000 designs.
The elemental paths are Nature, Earth, Fire, Water, Frost, Lightning and Shadow. T1–T5 identify the visual stage within a path, so you can choose your own rarity names, levels and game balance.
Build a readable fusion system
Nature + Earth → Rootstone: living roots supporting a mineral blade.
Fire + Earth → Magma: volcanic stone around a molten core.
Nature + Water → Bloomtide: aqua crystal and organic growth.
Nature + Fire → Ashthorn: charred thornwood and an ember heart.
Water + Earth → Tidalstone: water-glass channels through stone.
Seven more paths complete the fusion catalog: Stormglass (Lightning + Water), Frostroot (Frost + Nature), Permafrost (Frost + Earth), Obsidian Night (Shadow + Earth), Emberstorm (Fire + Lightning), Voidbloom (Shadow + Nature) and Eclipse (Shadow + Fire). All twelve fusion paths exist for every weapon type. The evolution maps and recipe files show how the paths connect.

From a recipe to an icon
Browse Metadata/asset_index.csv or load Metadata/assets.json.
Choose the item's ID, weapon type, path and stage.
Read the inputs and output in Metadata/recipes.json.
Apply your game's inventory and resource rules, then look up the output artwork.
For example, AX_BATTLEAXE_NATURE_T3 and AX_BATTLEAXE_EARTH_T3 can produce AX_BATTLEAXE_ROOTSTONE_T1. That fusion then has its own T1–T5 progression. The included documentation shows how the IDs, PNG paths, sprites and textures fit together.
The recipes are editable starting points. Add your own costs, stats, rarity labels and unlock requirements.
Use it for
Idle and incremental games, roguelike or survivor upgrades, merge/crafting systems, RPG inventories, loot tables, equipment slots, merchant screens and unlock trees.
