Axiomatic Bead

The Axiomatic Bead is a consumable item, originally from Destiny, made of "iridescent glass baubles that seem to contain inscribed Vex logic." It drops at random from Vex units.

Acquisition

• Drops: Randomly from Vex enemies.
• Cryptarch: The Cryptarch in the Tower buys each bead for 200 Glimmer. With a Blue Polyphage active, Glimmer gains rise by 7.5%, a net of 215 Glimmer per bead.
• Reef Cryptarchy: The Reef Cryptarchy, which operates from libraries including 10 Hygiea, also buys Axiomatic Beads.

See House Banner, Network Key and Silken Codex for the other items Cryptarchs buy at the same price.
