Sapwood Blade is one of the four-star swords in Genshin Impact and is a completely free weapon as it can be obtained by crafting. It is the most useful weapon in the Forest Sanctuary series as it is one of the best budget options for Bennett and can be used by other awesome supports as well.
How to get Sapwood Blade in Genshin Impact
Sapwood Blade is a craftable weapon, so it cannot be obtained by pulling any banner. Instead, you have to play through Sumeru’s Aranyaka quest chain to get quest items called Stories of You and the Aranara. Then talk to Aravinay in the Vanarana dream to exchange them for Forging Blueprints, including the tale of the king of the forestused to craft Sapwood Blade.
Learn the Blueprint by using it from your Inventory, then head to any blacksmith to forge it with the following materials:
- x1 Midlander Claymore billet
- Crystal Shard x50
- x50 White Iron Cunk
- x500 Blackberry
It only takes 10 seconds to get this sword and you can craft as many as you want for Refinements.

Who can use Sapwood Blade in Genshin Impact?
Sapwood Blade has a high base Attack and Energy Recharge substat, which automatically makes it a great pick for characters who drop Base Attack or those who love to use their Elemental Bursts. However, to make use of his Elemental Mastery passive power, he must run a Dendro Reaction composition, which can make his options somewhat limited. Also, it’s important to know that the Elemental Mastery boost goes to the character picking up the Blade of Awareness (similar to Xiangling’s chili), not necessarily the wielder.
With that being said, here are the characters that can use the Sapwood Blade:
