You need three runes for the silver sword, just as you need three pieces of meteorite ore; the blacksmith can't do anything with just one rune.
Hey Everyone, Forgive me if this has been asked a thousand times, or common sense for that matter , lol..But wondering something.. I'm noticing some nice swords out there, however, i also notice that most of them have a -Damage modifier on them, besides the other nice bonuses they have.. So does that mean i would be doing less damage with that sword, then say a Meteorite Sword, since it doesn't have a -damage modifier or, is it just some sort of typo? I highly doubt it, but just curious.. And once again, forgive me if this has been asked before, I've been searching the forums for the answer, and just can't seem to find it, so figure I'd just ask 
thanks everyone, MP
thanks everyone, MPCorylea -You are so right!I mis-remembered the reforge from the earlier game.Sorry folks - it was the nut behind the keyboard that was loose.dw (in lower case out of shame)
Sword damage is based on the silver/steel sword styles.When upgrading those skills, the damage increases.Since the "non-Witchter" swords are not made out of silver or meterorite steel, the damage decreases. However, not by "-30" but by "-30%"So a "normal" meterorite sword (lets just take the beginning one) would do the exact damage based on the skill.A -20% sword would do the damage based on skills minus 20%.A +20% sword would do the damage based on skills plus 20%.I hope I cleared it up a little
If I upgrade Harvall with meteorite re-forging will it's stats be reduced or enhanced?
Yep, totally did, awesome and thanksTheSilver said:Sword damage is based on the silver/steel sword styles.When upgrading those skills, the damage increases.Since the "non-Witchter" swords are not made out of silver or meterorite steel, the damage decreases.

MPIf you could apply static runes and ores to unique steel- and silverswords no one would use "plain" meteor and runeswords ;DBut you can apply all temporary enhancements (incl. Vodon, Perun and Svarog) on all swords.
I am so glad you answered this. I was mildly fuming about the fact that I found all of those meteorites and runes but could not find anyone to make the new sword. Now I understand. It does make sense that the named swords cannot be made more special than they already are. i was thinking in neutral. I loved my triple red sword, next time I will try another kind.
triple red meteorite is the best of the meteorite swords, so you'll likely be a bit disappointed ... but have fun making a rune sword
... but have fun making a rune sword Before the Lady's, I had the two blue/one red rune sword, since that was what I could afford to get at the time. It was a very handy item, too. I wonder what the ones listed as 'based on combat style' go up to. I mean is there any advantage to another sword? To me the logical one to choose would be the most expensive, but I cannot tell if that is the case.Sorry if this belongs in another thread- I haven't checked, yet.
Anyone out there help me? I cant upgrade my swords. I have 3 runes (2 earth, 1 fire) but the blacksmith will only offer to buy them. Any suggestions??
So, out of curiosity, let's say in chapter 1 you made a 3 blue meteorite sword, and in chapter 2 you found 3 red meteorites. If you've already made the blue sword, can you sell it and then make the red sword? (haven't tried it yet because I didn't want to lose what I have, not knowing if I would be able to get something better)Also (wrong thread, but sort of in line with my first question) if you save your original armor and buy the 5000 oren armor, can you sell the original armor later? (wondering if my Witcher is poor because he's a pack rat!)
Treasa,I do not truly remember. Since there has not been a true answer posted - this is what I recall (I may be wrong, but) -I do not think you can sell your old armor. Just suck it up and save 5000 gold for new armor.You can sell a Meterorite Sword. You don't get much though. You have to sell it to empty the space for the new sword (as you guessed).Save games are for experimenting. Save your game and try what you want. If it goes bad - just restore. Often, it is the best way to learn how the game works.I did not find the Meterorite Swords all that good. There is a sword, Ceremonial Sword of Deithwen, both for sale and can be found, that is pretty good. I use it for most of the game rather than the the Witcher's Steel Sword.I hope the above is accurate.DW
