The Witcher oils



For more information regarding oils, see the oils category.

Oils are blade enhancements which provide specific, though temporary, additional qualities to silver and steel swords. Some oils are sword specific, while others are general purpose.

Bases


 * Formulae with 3 ingredients or those with 4 ingredients require a high quality base,
 * Formulae with 5 ingredients require a top quality base.

Notes
 * The creation of sword oils (coatings) requires the Oil Preparation attribute.
 * All oils have a duration of 24 hours, or "long".
 * Only one oil can be applied per sword at a time. The effects do not stack. Using a new oil on a sword will replace any current oil and its corresponding effects.

All-purpose oils
Italic text in Effect column reflects the in-game text whilst mousing over a sword to which an oil has been applied.

Oils for silver swords
Except for Argentia, these oils can also be used on steel swords, it is simply preferable to use a silver sword against the creatures for which they are intended.

Detrimental oils
These blade coatings actually harm your blade, so beware!
