Every sword in Legacy Piece has a specific acquisition method, whether from boss drops, shop purchases, or crafting. Knowing where each sword comes from helps you plan your farming and spending efficiently. This guide covers every sword's drop location, boss source, shop availability, crafting requirements, and the optimal order for obtaining each weapon in Legacy Piece.
All Sword Acquisition Methods
The six swords in Legacy Piece come from three sources: shop purchases, boss drops, and crafting. Each method requires different investments of time, Beli, and gameplay effort. Understanding these methods helps you plan the fastest path to your desired weapon.
| Sword | Tier | Source | Method | Cost/Effort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cutlass | C | Shop | Purchase | 500 Beli |
| Sandai Kitetsu | B | Boss Drop | Marine Captain | Kill + luck |
| Soul Solid | B | Boss Drop | Arlong | Kill + luck |
| Wado Ichimonji | A | Shop + Drop | Purchase or boss | 50,000 Beli or drop |
| Shusui | A | Boss Drop | Crocodile | Kill + luck |
| Yoru | S | Boss Drop | Mihawk | Kill + luck (1-2%) |
Shop Purchase Swords
Some swords in Legacy Piece are available directly from weapon shops for Beli. These require no luck or boss farming, making them reliable acquisitions at any point in the game.
The Cutlass is available from the Starter Island weapon shop for 500 Beli. This is the cheapest sword in the game and serves as a placeholder until you find something better. Every new player should buy a Cutlass immediately for the melee damage boost it provides over bare-handed combat.
Wado Ichimonji is available from the Loguetown weapon shop for 50,000 Beli. This A tier sword is a significant investment but provides reliable high damage for mid-game content. The Wado Ichimonji is also obtainable as a boss drop, which is a free alternative if you get lucky during boss farming.
| Shop Sword | Location | Cost | Tier | Value Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cutlass | Starter Island | 500 Beli | C | Immediate buy |
| Wado Ichimonji | Loguetown | 50,000 Beli | A | Save and buy |
Boss Drop Swords
The majority of swords in Legacy Piece come from boss drops. Each boss has a specific drop table that includes sword chances. Farming these bosses provides the best weapons in the game along with XP and other rewards that make the farming process doubly productive.
| Sword | Boss | Level | Drop Rate | Farming Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sandai Kitetsu | Marine Captain | 50 | 10-15% | Easy |
| Soul Solid | Arlong | 100 | 8-12% | Medium |
| Wado Ichimonji | Various | 50+ | 5-8% | Medium |
| Shusui | Crocodile | 200 | 5-8% | Hard |
| Yoru | Mihawk | 500 | 1-2% | Very Hard |
Sandai Kitetsu from Marine Captain
The Sandai Kitetsu drops from the Marine Captain boss on Loguetown at level 50. This is the first upgradeable sword most players obtain. The 10-15% drop rate means you will likely get it within 7-10 Marine Captain kills, which translates to about 1-2 hours of farming. For detailed boss strategies, see our all bosses guide.
The Marine Captain respawns every 7 minutes, making Sandai Kitetsu farming relatively quick. During the respawn timer, complete Loguetown quests for additional XP. The Sandai Kitetsu's curse proc adds damage over time that is helpful for both PvE and PvP during the mid-game.
Soul Solid from Arlong
Soul Solid drops from the Arlong boss on Arlong Park at level 100. The 8-12% drop rate requires approximately 8-13 kills on average. Arlong respawns every 8 minutes, making farming sessions reasonable at about 2-3 hours for the expected drop.
Soul Solid's ice slow effect makes it particularly valuable for PvP. If you PvP frequently during the mid-game, farming Arlong for Soul Solid is a worthwhile investment. The slow effect helps chase fast opponents and creates combo extension opportunities that other swords lack.
Yoru from Mihawk
Yoru is the most coveted sword in Legacy Piece, dropping exclusively from the Mihawk boss on Marineford at level 500. The 1-2% drop rate makes Yoru the rarest weapon obtainment in the game, requiring an average of 50 to 100 kills. Mihawk respawns every 30 minutes, meaning dedicated players can expect 20 to 50 hours of farming for Yoru. The key to efficient Yoru farming is using the downtime between Mihawk spawns to farm other bosses like Crocodile and Enel, which simultaneously provides upgrade materials and XP. For the complete Yoru breakdown and farming strategy, see our Yoru sword guide.
Shusui drops from the Crocodile boss on Alabasta at level 200. The 5-8% drop rate requires 12-20 kills on average. Crocodile respawns every 10 minutes, making each farming cycle approximately 15-20 minutes including the fight time.
Shusui's heavy strikes provide the highest burst damage among non-Yoru swords. This makes Shusui the best available weapon for boss farming and PvP before obtaining Yoru. Invest time in farming Crocodile for Shusui once you reach the appropriate level. For help choosing the right sword for each situation, see our best swords for PvP and boss fights guide.
Crafting and Upgrading System
Sword crafting and upgrading in Legacy Piece allows you to enhance your weapons with additional stats and abilities. The crafting system uses materials obtained from boss drops and mob kills to improve sword performance at various upgrade tiers. For the complete upgrade path walkthrough, see our starter weapons upgrade path guide.
| Upgrade Level | Materials Required | Stat Boost | Source of Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Base sword | None | Shop or drop |
| Level 2 | 10 common materials | +10% damage | Any mobs |
| Level 3 | 5 uncommon materials | +15% damage | Mid-game bosses |
| Level 4 | 3 rare materials | +20% damage | Late-game bosses |
| Level 5 | 1 legendary material | +25% damage | Endgame bosses (Roger) |
Material Sources by Island
Upgrade materials come from specific sources on each island. Knowing where to farm each material type accelerates your upgrade progress and prevents wasted time on the wrong islands.
| Material Type | Source Islands | Drop Rate | Farming Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | Starter, Orange | High | Quick |
| Uncommon | Baratie, Arlong Park | Medium | Moderate |
| Rare | Alabasta, Skypiea | Low | Long |
| Legendary | Water 7, Marineford | Very Low | Very Long |

FAQ
How do I get my first sword in Legacy Piece? Buy the Cutlass from the Starter Island weapon shop for 500 Beli. This C tier sword is immediately available and provides a melee damage boost over fighting bare-handed. Replace it as soon as you obtain a better sword from boss drops.
What is the fastest way to get an A tier sword? The fastest method is purchasing Wado Ichimonji from the Loguetown shop for 50,000 Beli. This requires saving Beli from quests and boss fights, but it is guaranteed once you have the money. Alternatively, farm boss drops for a free Wado Ichimonji.
Can I upgrade the Cutlass to be competitive? Upgrading the Cutlass provides incremental stat boosts, but it remains significantly weaker than higher tier swords even at max upgrade level. Save your upgrade materials for B tier or above swords instead of investing in the Cutlass.
Which boss should I farm for sword drops? Farm the highest level boss you can defeat consistently. The Marine Captain drops Sandai Kitetsu (B tier), Arlong drops Soul Solid (B tier), Crocodile drops Shusui (A tier), and Mihawk drops Yoru (S tier). Each boss provides the next tier up in sword progression.
