Aerondight blade - best enhancement

[andromedon]

Hello fellow witcherados and witcherettes; any ideas as to what's the best way to upgrade the Aerondight blade?
I thought of loading it with 3 'increase burning' runes or maybe 3 'increase adrenaline' or 3 'increase attack' runes. However it might be even better to simply have it enchanted, but with which one?

funny thing , i came to ask for the same ..
given that sword multiplies damage per every hit

I find Mob NPC's a lot more resistant to burning etc, so for the silver sword i usely go for Adrenalin generation, and 2 +5 attack powers, sonce humans seem more susceptible I go for +5 Burning Bleeding an poison.

I put the 3 rune slots on it then got it enchanted with Invigoration (extra vitality turns into added damage up to 50% for the next strike).

I have the gourmet perk and keep Geralt eating food as part of role playing anyway. So as im wandering around with full health that extra vitality is constantly channelled into aerondight and so the first hit always inflicts even more damage

I'm NOW voicing a opinion.....

My current sword is better then Aeondeight, I have Casus Foederis stats below:
Dam 460 – 562
+150 Armor piercing
+15% Aard Sign intensity
+15% Quen Sign intensity
+50% Critical hit damage bonus
+15% Critical hit chance

As opposed to the stats of Aeondeight Stats below:

Damage + 60%
Attack + 10%
Chance of critical effects:

Pain + 50%
Blinding + 50%
Incineration + 50%
Precise hit + 50%

Actually I also found about 4 other silver blades that seem to be very powerful and dispose of foes very quickly. What I fear is that removing runes destroys the blade so I need to be very careful to choose the right runes. An enchanted blade, however, can easily be re-enchanted with a different enchantment and I think it's better to lose 3 expensive runes rather than losing a great blade.

Removing runes DOSN'T destroy the blade, just the rune that's removed :-) Just be careful NOT to click the "dismantle" section... hahahahaha You want "remove upgrade" or what-ever it's labeld as...

That's good to know. So we need to choose the lesser of 2 evils: Save the blade and lose expensive runes, -- OR -- save the runes and lose the blade. So dismantling a good blade would only make sense if you have the diagram to re-craft it, which for Aerondight doesn't exist, as far as I know.

I don't remember seeing any diagram for that blade.

There isin't, other excellent swords have diagrams though, in fact my steel sword is a diagram, and it's better then the non crafted version, Google silver sword or steel swords as takes your fancy.
