Ah, I didn't do that part. Butchered the prick-ears you see, without even chatting with them...
There is a steel sword in the game, which I was able to obtain using a save game editor that really kicks ass, it is called Ard'aenye. Damage is +200% and it looks awesome as well, anyone know if it is possible to obtain this sword legitimately? Check out the link below ....http://www.gamebanshee.com/cgi-bin/search/banshee_search.pl?_layout=TheWitcher_Items&_cgifunction=search&TheWitcher_Items.type=Steel%20Sword
Ard'anye is what the Grand Master carries (you don't expect him to wave some rusty pig sticker around, do ya?) You can't get it in-game, the SOB must have a death grip on it in the end 
Sihil should be almost able to keep up with it BTW, seeing as how it ignores opponents' armour...
Sihil should be almost able to keep up with it BTW, seeing as how it ignores opponents' armour...The only bit I found so far is available to buy from Haren (sic?). I might get it before i move on just in case there aren't too many lying around later. I assume you get further into the crypt as the chapter goes on...I've done the quest for Mikul, but there are a couple of cave-ins blocking the rest at the moment.
Hi Guys...I'm fairly new to RPG's but have played a few. I have a question about swords. I know I can carry a silver, a steel, then an extra heavy and extra light weapon.I tried to put a rune sword in extra slot and it would not go. I lost my rune sword when I got aerondight and when rune fell I could not pick it up. Is the player only allowed one silver weapon or can you own aerondight and the moonblade and carry them at the same time? Thanks for all your help
Hey im think in The witcher Enhanced editon need be more new improved of character Geralth, swords sheath - with sheaths Geralth look more realistic. I'm realy hope in this version this thinks by, then The witcher by 100% real RPG ever, How you think abaut this improved?
What is the earliest act you can get enough rune stones together to make a better silver sword... I don't usually get enough of the kind I want until chapter IV... and by then it seems like you'll have Aerondight soon enough.I think maybe you can get enough in chapter III, but I don't know if you can find 3 Earth runes then.
I fell into the same trap of waiting for 3 earth runes, till Chapter4, to upgrade my silver sword.Every game after I upgraded as soon as I could in Chapter3 with 2Earth and 1Sun.You get heaps of runes by mid Chapter4 (maybe earlier if you know where to look) to pick another upgrade if you can't wait for Aerondight.
2 Earth, 1 Sun in Chapter 3 for me as well. Unless you get a Runesword as early as possible, it's basically useless - once Aerondight becomes available, who needs anything else? For much the same reason I never bother with a Meteorite sword beyond Act I (and I always settle for 2 red, 1 blue since I usually pass on the frightener in the Prologue and defend the lab instead). Once you have access to the swamp and find Harvall, the Meteorite sword is obsolete.MR said:
This just goes to show how personal tastes varyWhisperwind said:at the begining of act 3 you can make a 3 red meteorit sword and if your good enaugh to swing it - you'll be with it till the very end of the game
I usually get a meteorite sword in Act I, Harvall in Act II and Gwalhir in Act IV. I use the latter for the rest of the game. For Silver Swords, there's less variation, but as I said - with Aerondight, who needs anything else?I keep a 3 Red till I get the Dwarven Sihill, don't like Harvall shape or Gwalhir.The Dwarf sword is the best looker ingame in my belief.
Even if there was a better sword than Aerondight I wouldn't change it because with the accolade it was something very special for Geralt and... he received it from the lady of the lake... a goddess.
I stayed with Aerondight till the end last game because Moonblade isn't in the cutscene.I know Aerondight comes from a Goddess but if you've played BG2 then you know a Moonblade is special too. "there is more power in it than you can imagine"
Did some searches on steel and silver swords, forged and named, but didn't turn up a "best weapon" thread - the closest I came was thread dedicated to the Mahakaman Rune Sihill (G'valchir)So, I'm tossing this one out there...Mild spoiler warning throughout!Steel swordsI feel that the best steel swords are those that do a lot of damage. The G'valchir fans out there must agree, because in terms of value, even Harvall, an Act II weapon, is worth more than it. Why? Well, it must be the +100% damage. So, all the neat little bonuses like disarm , pain, etc are cool, but specific to a certain sword style. Damage is damage, and that's hard to beat.Act IThat being said, you don't have many options in Act I. You obtain as many as 3 red meteorites (if you took on the frightener in the Prologue) relatively early in the chapter, and the three red meteorite sword is one of the best you can get, with +40% damage and +30% bleeding (for additional damage). You'll come across two blue meteorites (1 isn't until the chapter is in it's ending phases), but there's no blue/red combo that's gonna beat a three red sword.Act IISure, you're gonna come across Harvall, but it's only +30% damage, and a few +20% extras, and yes, it is a more valuable weapon than the 3 red meteorite sword, but I don't see how you can argue with pure damage. You may obtain a yellow meteorite in this chapter, too, depending on how you handle the autopsy and Ramsmeat - but the red/blue/yellow combo does a paltry +13% damage. An argument could be made for the two red/one yellow combo, but it is only +28% damage and some extras. If this combo is to your liking, you are better off with Harvall anyway.Act IIINothing new here - by now you may have as many as 6 blue meteorites and up to 6 red as well (depending on your rewrd choice with Andrew Gablodda and you decision in the prologue: frightener or lab), but again, there is no blue/red combo better than 3 red, and your only other named sword thus far is Harvall, and you know how I feel about that (plus, I don't think the Harvall sword looks as good as the meteorite model either).Act IVNow things get interesting, or at least you have another option. As Gwalhir becomes available, I doubt anyone would dispute it is the best steel sword in the game so far. It does +50% damage, plus a few +40% extras. There is no meteorite combo that will ever match this, and Harvall is no match either. That was easy.Act VThe final real chapter, in my opinion. You will have two new sword options at best. Depending on how you handle Adda/the striga, you may receive D'yaebl, possibly the coolest looking sword, but honestly, it's the same sword as Harvall from chapter 2, but with some of the extra bonuses allocated differently (higher percentage to pain). So, the sword is not likely to change your game or preferences much. The best damaging steel sword in the game is G'valchir, a.k.a., the Mahakaman Rune Sihill. It isn't the most valuable, and it doesn't have any extras based on combat style. It simply does +100% damage, which is twice that of any other steel sword in the game. It also penetrates armor, but I'd be lying if I said I knew what that meant. Fortunately, it is also a handsome weapon. You can obtain this weapon by two routes that I know of - the Royal Huntsman or the Dentist. I recommend the Dentist as the Royal Huntsman's other reward choice is a unique silver sword.So, in sum, I craft a 3 red meteorite sword early in Act I and use it until I get Gwalhir in Act IV. In Act V, I make my final switch to G'valchir.Silver swordsRunic silver swords offer two important considerations: damage bonuses and silver sensitivity, which is essentially equivalent. As with the steel swords, you have damage bonuses for different styles, but I want a relaible and consistent damaging output. In regards to silver swords, I favor the ones with the best damage/silver bonus. You won't have a silver sword until Act II, and you won't have enough runes to do any crafting until Act III, so that's where I'm starting.Act IIIYou can have 1 sun and 2 earth runes early on (if you chose the earth rune reward from Andrew Gablodda). Use 'em, since any upgrade is better than no upgrade, and the other runes you're gonna get will be when you're in the closing portions of the chapter - you won't be able to use them until Act IV.Act IVYou find a sun and moon rune in the closing stages of chapter 3. You can obtain 3 of each rune in this chapter relatively early on. This gives you a lot of leeway. But you can find a moon rune in a chest on black Tern Island, and choose a moon rune as a reward in a fistfight. So, from the get-go, you can forge a 3 moon rune silver sword, which has a +45% silver sensitivity. Some may favor a 2 moon/1 earth combo, as the earth rune can be purchased and this blade has a +30% damage, +30% silver sensitivity, and a +75% knockdown (I don't know which combat style this applies to). Lastly, the 3 earth rune sword you can forge does +45% damage and has a +75% knockdown. I personally choose the 3 moon combo.But at the end of the chapter, you should receive the best silver sword to this point, Aerondight. As with Gwalhir, I don't think anyone would argue it's rank as the best thus far.Act VThe only new option you'll have here is to obtain the Moon Blade as a reward from the Hunstman. Many will stick with Aerondight (+60% damage and bonuses) for aesthetic reasons, but the Moon Blade is akin to G'valchir - it does +100% damage. Since it is the last sword available, it seems to be intended to be the best silver sword in the game. It has my vote, but I must confess, I like Aerondight's appearance much better. The Moon Blade looks awkward - more like a walking stick than a sword.So, in sum, I craft a 2 earth/1 sun sword in Act III, then a 3 moon sword in Act IV, but switch to Aerondight once it's available. I end the game with the Moon Blade, obtained in Act V.
I don't know if it's still valid (since I haven't played since 1.2), but if you fail Antoinette's quest in chapter 5, and kill Jean-Pierre, he drops a Sihill.
