Removing upgrades from Swords / Armor

[Lumicko]

Its really stupid that it destroys the upgrade ( glyph / runestone ). So for example im using some kind of armor / sword I put there some nice really good upgrades and then lets say I find in 10minutes a better sword / armor but I JUST CANT take the upgrades from the old ( worse ) items to my new items.... Thats really stupid and doesnt makes sense...
isnt there mod for it or smthing?
Thx

Just remove the glyph / runestone at the appropriate NPC.

What do you mean?? I went to Blacksmith... Is there special NPC to remove the upgrades?

If you dismantle the weapon/armor at a blacksmith you get components+the runes/glyph

[Broken Fang]

if you 'Dismantle' the item, you get your rune stones back.

*edit* Set beat me to it

You can destroy the item but keep the glyph (dismantle), or you can destroy the glyph but keep an item (remove upgrade).

Ahhh I was doing it via remove upgrade :D
Thanks :)

So your question is 'can you replace a runestone for a runestone already in gear' by right clicking the [new/better] runestone in inventory?

This is what I was trying to answer.

Then...

A blacksmith can remove the item from the socket, yes.

2 minutes later...

Wait, what? So, now I'm confused. =)

I wanted to take the upgrades from the old weapon and put it into new items. I thought I have to do it via "remove upgrades" didnt think about just dismantling the item and getting all back.

Was looking into this & is good to know thanks :) Going to put Rune into lowbie item & might remove it to put into new one later or not.

Also if you are upgrading witcher gear anything socketed will still be in the upgraded one.
