At 10 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 243,340 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Crafting it takes 231 materials across 5 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 150× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Beam Sword

The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is treasure map digs (tier 5) at 3.7% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

Every Tier of Beam Sword

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 930 to 1395, 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 Beam Sword

The Technology tree hands you the plain Beam Sword at level 57 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 treasure map digs (tier 5), 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 Beam Sword schematic works out at roughly 96 containers against the 168 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 Katana at 1,170 attack; step down and it is Lily's Spear at 1,075. How far apart those two sit tells you whether to spend now or keep what you have.
