Beam Sword
Weapon · WeaponMelee3★Beam Sword is 8th of 79 melee weapons by attack, at 1,209 against the 2,400 of Laser Sword.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
At 10 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 300,730 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Beam Sword
Beam Sword is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Schematics That Unlock Beam Sword
Beam Sword is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. 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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
 Beam Sword Schematic 3 | 3★ | Dark Island, Treasure map digs (tier 5), fishing Dark Island (grade 5) |
