📋 About This Mod
What's the purpose?
The Next Gen patch introduces a new scaling damage system for the swords Blade from the Bits and Winter's Blade. They were not popular until they got this new mechanism. Now each time Geralt levels up, those swords become more powerful (if they are in inventory).
This mod allows configuring many Relic and Witcher Swords to use the scaling damage system, even silver swords.
You can enable or disable each sword/category:
Vanilla
- Blade from the Bits
- Winter's Blade
Relics
- Starting Swords
- Non-Crafted
- Caretaker's Shovel
Next Gen
- Nine-tailed Vixen
- Valley of Thousand Flowers
- Top Notch
Witcher
- Manticore
- Forgotten Wolf
