Weapons | Additional info The Witcher Guide
Last update: 02 February 2017
There are two reasons to presence of these weapons in the game. First, the witchers' enemies must fight with something in their hands. Second, you can use them as a source of easy money.
In the table below you will see all the "normal" weapons in the game. Just for formality, the second column indicates damage dealt by a given weapon, and the third one shows any additional perks it has.
The last column is the most important for you (P). It's the price you can sell these weapons for. As you can see, it's a good idea to sell Torches anytime you can.

Steel witcher swords
You'll rather buy these weapons than sell them. There are exceptions, however, such as Temerian Iron Sword, which is quite a good source of money.
The second column indicated the damage dealt by certain weapons - they alter the default damage that's an effect of Geralt's abilities.
In the third column you see different effects that weapons can cause. Mostly it's a chance of special status modifier cast on an enemy after hitting him.
The last column shows the price that you have to pay for a weapon sold by a blacksmith. If you want to sell a certain weapon, you'll get only 20% of its original price.
Meteorite swords can be forged with help of most of the blacksmiths, if you have at least three meteorite parts. Depending on the combination of meteorite parts (Blue, Red and Yellow), the sword will have different properties and price. Forging a sword from three parts of the same color increases its potential.

Silver witcher swords
Silver swords cannot be bought - you'll get the most interesting swords as rewards for particular quests. Witcher's Silver Sword, once belonging to Coen, will be given to you at the beginning of chapter II. You get Aerondight from The Lady of the Lake at the end of chapter IV. In chapter V you can get the Moon Blade - but only if you gathered all 10 monster trophies throughout the game.
You can upgrade your silver sword by placing runes in it - this can be done by most of the blacksmiths. Depending on the combination of Sun, Earth and Moon runes, your sword will gain additional features (for a right price). Just as with steel swords, using three runes of the same color grants you even more bonuses.
