📋 About This Mod
None of the Aerondight mods currently up solved the issue I had with the Aerondight sword. When Geralt can one or two shot enemies getting ten stacks in a single battle becomes nearly impossible, even if you are able to not get hit. So getting a kill while at 10 stacks, to get the permanent damage increase, is very difficult. Then you need to do it 50+ times.
What my mod does is make it so that every kill with Aerondight will give a permanent damage increase regardless of the number of current charges.
Charges are still necessary for the Critical Hit Chance bonus, though. So this isn't too OP, it just reduces the amount of grinding necessary.
Optional Files:
Added a second file for people with de-leveling mods. Instead of getting 10 extra damage per level difference between Geralt and Aerondight, which for deleveled items means it's always 0-10. Now it's Geralt's level divided by 10.
So for every 10 levels Geralt gains, Aerondight gains another 10 extra damage. 100 extra damage at level 100 doesn't seem too OP to me. And certainly better than Aerondight just always having 10 extra damage.
Includes the original changes. Please choose one.
Note:
In order to make it work with LEGO (https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3369) I needed to make the following change.
modlegoItemLevelsNormalized\content\scripts\local\itemLevelsNormalized.ws
function GetScaledDamageBoost(inv : CInventoryComponent, itemId : SItemUniqueId) : float
var boost : float = inv. GetItemModifierFloat(itemId, 'PermDamageBoost', 0);
//if(boost > 10)
// boost = 10;
return boost;
Added a third file. Aerondight is always at 10 charges. Every hit has increased crit chance, every kill powers up the sword, and FX are always active when the sword is in use.
Aerondight Quick Level is a small balance mod for The Witcher 3 that removes the charge requirement for Aerondight's permanent damage increase, making every kill count. Charges still grant critical hit chance, keeping the sword powerful but not overpowered. Ideal for players who want faster progression without trivializing combat.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Streamlines Aerondight's progression—no more babysitting charges for damage.
- Community-approved with 349 endorsements and over 6k downloads.
- Keeps the sword from being too OP by retaining the charge requirement for crit chance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only affects Aerondight, so it's a niche tweak for players who use that sword.
For Witcher 3 players who love Aerondight but find the charge mechanic tedious. If you want a more forgiving leveling curve without making the sword overpowered, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the original challenge or rarely use Aerondight.
