Installation: Download with NMM and simply activate mod. or Download manually and unpack "modInstant" folder to Witcher 3 main directory/mods folder.

If you have any problems, please let me know.
Compatibility: I recommend my other mod Better Ciri Sword <If conflicts try: Script Merger by AnotherSymbiote>

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use other mods that alter item upgrades or damage scripts, run Script Merger to resolve conflicts.
