Witcher 3 | Best SWORDS at the VERY START! Good for XP! (Viper Swords Guide) 

Nearing the end-game of the next-gen version now I'd say the most effective steel sword progression through the game is: Thousand Flower sword from the chest in Vizima after making an account on the game launcher (can't use the sword yet but hold onto it), Viper steel sword from levels 2-6, use Thousand Flowers sword from 7-9, get Blade from the Bits sword from the "Of Swords and Dumplings" quest in Novigrad; since it levels with you you'll comfortably use Blade from the Bits all the way until around lvl 20 when you begin asking your allies for help with the final stand against the Wild Hunt. Now go talk with the King of Skellige and he'll give you the Winter's Blade which is just a better version of the Blade from the Bits. This is all you need to get through the game and requires no upgrading and like a total of 250 coin.

Thanks dude! I've got the legendary viper swords

New subscriber. New player. New gamer, actually. Thanks for all this fantastic info!! Been watching videos like this for months now just because I don't have the proper set up to play TW3. Played through TW1 and will jump into TW2 soon so in the meantime I'm working on a plan to gather the best gear n supplies early on.

This Channel is Criminally Underrated, I started Playing this Game after I have my Own PC long after 7 years of Losing my old one and This game is really what I was waiting to get my hands on

Thanks for this guide. I have started playing this game for the first time, as well as this is first action game I play since 2015. I already have the diagrams and crafted the steel sword, but cannot find any silver in game. I had no idea that I can buy and use silver powder! Thanks again!

That is possibly the best tip ever (for me). Thank you!!

Quality content !! Thanks :)

I bought The Witcher 3 and I already restarted because I was too weak so thank you for the tips, you have a really good quality for a small RU-vidr

Great videos! Thank you for the help

Finally actual "early game" swords! Thanks dude

Top notch content!! Keep it up

Nice one! Just started playing Witcher 3 for the first time . Great tips, will try thus out

Check out previous witcher 3 Tips & Tricks Video, Things you wish you knew earlier! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SJ3c1jXFwBM.html

Great video brother 👍 Subscribed!

yea they're pretty solid swords ended up using the silver sword all the way up like lvl 16 cause i finally got the cat school gear around that level. Didn't know all witcher gear swords had an experience boost so I would have switched sooner if I knew. not to mention the witcher gear usually has by far the best stats and look decent cause it doesn't make you look like a fucking court jester well I guess the grifin chest piece kinda does but whatever.

Much love fam. 😊

Thx bro, best strat game vid ;)

Great videos of Witcher game , I subscribed right now

Good video, thanks. New subscriber.

Good luck bro, great video

Thanks for the tips. What do you recommend for putting in the slots of the weapon? Just started playing this on PC and the Switch. I did 👍🏻and subscribe and your channel will grow quickly. Surprised you don’t have more subs.

Cool channel i just Subscribed

Great 👍

Heynow : Overall i believe that the Witcher Gear at early level ( mostly armor ) are the best until unlocking the dlc's 🎮 the Aerondight is the best Silver Sword & there's a Couple of Relic Steel swords with tons of bonuses depending on you're Play style 🕹 Either way Thanx for Posting 🇵🇹

Going to use this when I start playing tonight. First time

Is that silver sword better than the moon one? (The one from in the water)Also hope you keep pumping out witcher 3 vids. Got ya self a new sub. Cheers mate.

Fun fact: you can just ignore that wraith aard the door and enter. It won't respawn (cause you didn't kill it) and when you come out if you're careful you can get the skill point without it spawning again. Which if you are level one and new is great.

Great video. Didn’t see this video till level 11 would you say that these are still relevant now or go for something better ?

Doing my first play through and these swords were clutch. Especially the viper silver sword.

Hey mate, how long till you release the Velen sword video? I just got there and im on my second play through! Not keen to wait lol

Thanks for a very helpful guide, Hambone. 👍 The greatest problem I have is that question marks do not show on the map unless I am right next to the spot. If I leave, the question marks leave too until I get back on the spot right next to, or at, their location. And this is the so called next gen version of the game. When I first played Thw Witcher 3 immediately after it came out, I didn't have this problem. I have turned on Points of Interest, but aparently that just means they'll show when you literally walk across them. Anybody else have this issue? I had an odd encounter at the cemetary. When I arrived a lvl 7 wraith was there and attacked me (I'd just hit lvl 3 and have none of the Viper swords yet, but I could still have taken her out). I quickly got her white life bar down to zero, but I couldn't get the faded yellow bar "beneath" it down to zero. Every time I was close to killing her the yellow bar would refill itself a part of the way. In short, I simply could not kill her - and believe me, I kept trying for a long time, seeing her bar go way down and then back up, way down and back up, over and over again. - Oh, and there's another strange thing: While I do have the Viper quest on my list, and I can turn it on, but there are no points to follow. No orange circles anywhere. So I've assumed we're supposed to simply stumble across the quest locations. I began to wonder if I'm supposed to get a quest that sends me to bury her remains (I seem to remember something like that with a wraith), but I don't remember if there is such a quest in White Orchard. PS. No, it's not because I'm old and have impaired vision that I can't see the PoI.s, my vision works completely fine if I remember to put on my glasses. ;)

Going to do this now! You better be correct on every single tiny aspect or there will be serious consequences! :P Things like...me dying many times and wasting hours of gameplay lol

3:11 guide finally starts

Don’t forget the Windmill!! You can get a lot of silver dust from there

These blades are vicious in the early game. I sometimes keep the Viper steel sword until I get the Forgotten Vran at Level 10.

Would the Viper swords be good substitutes for the Moonblade and Headhunter in Velen? I didn't realize these have bonus xp and I could really use those. Of course, this is assuming I can go back to White Orchard after heading to Velen after Vizima. Can I do that?

can you get the materials needed to craft the new swords by dismantling the old swords?

Those stats are pretty good for a level 1 requirement

I unlocked these but don’t have the resources to make them but I’m restarting 👍

Gourmet and strong back are only available with the dlc's

how long should you wear these swords for? would it be worth wearing them till like lvl 11? and then get the gryphon sword

is it still recommended to get these swords right after you leave white orchard? ( At lvl 4 )

Is the Griffin gear okay to craft at level 11? Or better use this sword? Planning to do the sign build

Do more Witcher videos🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I completed all the steps including the diagram but when I go to quests it says that its complete but has a "suggested level 6" which I dont understand. I'm still on level 1 and have completed all the question marks and have done about 8 side quests.I have the steam version with the expansion paks. And another thing when going to options and gameplay their is no option for controlling the 4 difficulty levels. Am I missing something? Thanx in advance.

Just started playing this game first time ever. Viper are hard to craft as they cost so much. I crafted the silver but had to spend a lot to buy emerald dust from Nilfgaard smith.

*Laughs in Aerondight and Iris*

Subbed, because ham.

Did everything as it told here looting all locations and then it appears 1 viper and the other is something else , also for the viper missing some poison potion which i can't craft 😃

Instead of the gourmet why not the regen one??

Can someone tell me the name of the longest sword in the game. I saw a pic on Google and the witcher had a long ass sword on his back going down pass his knees.does anyone know it?

I'm level 9 which is the best sword for this level

Finding this now but I’m in Velen at level 4. Still worth going back to do it? Seems like it?

So, Ive found the two sword blueprints like in the vid but where do you go to MAKE the damn things?

hey im lvl 6... and i cant craft both of em :( Fergus isnt ´cappable´ of crafting... and no smith in nilf camp.....

Where do I get Venom extract

I do not know what I done with steel viper - not see any craft recipe but seems I killed the mob and looted everything ,Perhaps sold it or ... Anyway , I have all mats and seems can craft Silver but no blacksmith yet able to do it . Where I have to go to craft it?:

Hi Friend...Those Viper Swords are level 1....If You are level 6 do those swords will be level 6 too when I get Them ???

Got the goty on steam I had the original release of TW3 n ps4. Playing on death match. It is a pain LOL

Damn, both Viper Swords at 1st level?? How the hell did you do the Wraith, I’d have figured a Skull enemy in the beginner levels to be nearly impossible. I play on Death March, is this even possible? Edit: You did it on Death March, goddamn.

What level would you recommend to stop using the viper set? I'm level 10 now. If I go and get them wohld it help me out or not really?

Can’t find silver man where do u get silver for crafting swords

Aaahh thats why, i cant find it anymore

my "general" branch dont include half those perks wtff

What’s the intro somg

the exp boosts on kills are irrelevant,since the base exp on kills is really small.Majority of exp is from finishing guests and contracts

my dumbass liyerally didnt dragged the ability to the empty slot at the right side of the mutagens thats why i keep wondering why my abilitues dont work no more

For some reason mine doesn’t have 15% chance to poison

Im level 12 and i still havent unlocked gourmet i only have the first 2 rows in the category

Where can i get more silver this early

No sword beats aorendite from the lady of the lake

Arid sign? Hmnnn

Guys please help lol I need venom extract!!!!

Too bad i didnt get it 😪

Moonblade is stronger.

Lmao...the best weaponry in the game starting out but you only have to jump through a bajillion hoops. Never played any witcher games & literally just started witcher 3. Only played a few side quest. Gonna try to follow your guide but jeezuz...

Game is too eazy for me to care about gear, unless I'm fighting guards
