Radzig sword it's still buggy right?

[Mastro lindo]

If i understood correctly there is no way of forging the sword to level 4 right? I just finished my last side before the wedding and i'm afraid of getting to the sword at some point and well not being able to forge it propely would bother me x) is it still buggy and will be fixed next big patch or there has been some hotfix? Also if yes how far am i from getting it? (try to tell me without too much spoilers please)

Yeah, I just tried it on my new run and even with 30 crafting unbuffed I wasn't able to get a level 4 out of it. You have to wait after the end of the main quest and it becomes "Henry's Sword" instead of Sir Radzig's Sword...then you supposedly can.

I've found that one handed swords are better anyway. Even if the damage is a little lower, there will be more perks.

Ah i see.. thank you for the answer, i also guess once you forge it even after the update you are stuck with it right? So the only way would be either to wait or stick with it until end game.. also how far is it from after the wedding?

I've tried 5 times with skill 26 or so, it tops at Tier3 every time, the window appearing when it's done shows different stats sometimes, like 190 piercing but the weapon only has the usual 172 when you equip it
Buggy indeed

Ahh dammit T-T

It's not bugged but hardcoded.
It will always end up as Tier 3

My thinking was, as I've mentioned in another thread about it, that it is to not force you to raise the skill before upgrading it.

It's like that with all the quest swords/axes as well.

But i saw a post from a used on the game reddit, he asked the support about it and they confirmed it's indeed a bug, and it will be corrected the next patch, now it was a 20d ago post so i was wondering if some kind of small update already happened or they just meant the one that will come in 15/16 days

That sounds like you don't have the stats to use it. It shows as 199 for me, but I meet the stat rquiements.

I have more than 20 in everything plus the perks lowering stats requirements, so much more than needed
As you can see, stats don't match between the forged sword result and the sword when used

There's something up with it, for sure. When I travel between regions on the caravan, I get a notification that it has been removed from inventory...both when leaving and arriving. It's in my inventory when I get off the wagon, but the fact that it is only this item that does it is weird.
Good thing they're aware of the bugs.

Pretty sure you cant forge quest weapons to tier 4.

[Drakkanien]

It's hardcoded, at the moment, to be T3 unless you upgrade it via decision at the end of the game to be adventurer/be warrior.

Only then, when you are done with everything, the game lets you forge it to T4.

Pretty pointless at that stage tbf.

I looked it up a bit more, apparently it's a know bug and it will be addressed in the next (and well first) major update that is coming it two weeks

Hm, that's interesting - I thought it's locked for a purpose.

I mean, that sword is so powerful in its upgraded state :D hah - you won't need any more upgrades on it anyway, so why bother?

Makes every enemy look like a fool, like the St. Michael's Sword from KCD1 - beats the ♥♥♥♥ out of anyone

Apparently no, at least not this one. From what i understood all quest weapons are locked in the forged but this one wasn't supposed to do that, however until it carries the name "Radzig sword" the game recognize it as such and won't allow the player to get pass tier 3, but they will fix that in the next patch (or so they said in the answer to the user who reported it)

oh yeah i remember that bad girl! :P

I believe it is a visual bug regarding the displayed weapon quality since most quest related weapons aren't meant to be reforged to a higher tier. I believe that if you do the crafting process correctly, you will get the stats of the tier 4 item, but it will still display as a tier 3. Not 100% sure so risking it would be up to you however.

I personally found using a tier 4 dueling sword to be just as effective if you are looking to run a longsword but don't want to risk losing the tier 4 radzig sword. The non-reforged radzig sword is also fairly strong if you choose to equip it without upgrading it.
