✅ It changes some dismantling materials. This sword is now crafted with some rare materials.
Winter`s Blade Redone

Introduction:

Crach an Craite couldn`t leave his place, to help you in the battle of Kaer Morhen. Instead, he gave you his family treasure, guarded by his ancestors: The Winter`s Blade.  But it turned out, that this weapon, which was so highly praised by your friends words was nothing more than...crap. It doesn`t have good stats,abilities,selling value or dismantling materials to get, in short: it wasn`t that legendary sword. Crach an Craite has pranked you with trash.

This mod tries to fix this, so that you don`t have the feeling to be pranked by that old men. Now you`ll truly consider to use this sword, and vendors will try to buy it from you by giving you a price worth for a legendary sword. It is crafted with rare materials, which make this relic sword truly feel special.
