Metal Bat

Details

It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot. At 36,480 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Metal Bat

The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Desert at 2.5% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

Every Tier of Metal Bat

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 500 to 750, a 1.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

Schematics That Unlock Metal Bat

The Technology tree hands you the plain Metal Bat at level 40 for 3 Technology points, but nothing above that base version — the rarer builds are schematic-only. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.

Fastest route. The fastest route is sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Desert, and the reason is the ladder rather than the top rung: that pool stocks every tier, so the common copies it hands you fuse upward into the one you want. Counting them, a top-tier Metal Bat schematic works out at roughly 66 containers against the 198 the 4★ drop rate alone suggests. Spare low tiers are progress, not clutter. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Step up from here and you get Metal Bat at 750 attack; step down and it is Terra Blade at 637. The size of that step is what decides whether the crafting bill is justified yet.
