Seek out an armorer and blacksmith to craft this armor and swords. The initial swords grant a poisoning chance when striking any foe who is susceptible to poison, and allow you to gain XP for slaying monsters. They are perfect for your first weapon enhancements. The wearable gear has an excellent armor rating, and an impressive resistance to poison attacks (though you may opt for Golden Oriole to heal your poisoned wounds instead of wearing this). Both the Venomous Steel and Silver swords offer much more damage and poison chance. Consult A Witcher’s Inventory in the eGuide for more details.
