About this mod Machine translation

Improved sword oil balance in The Witcher 3.

The purpose of this mod is to solve an issue with the game's sword oil system and its strength after you level up. Explicitly:

green document

All oils provide 10%/20%/30% increased damage against their specific monster type, down from 10%/25%/50%.

All oils now contain a 30/45/60 cost, up from a 20/40/60 cost, to maintain balance with the increased oil cost skills while actually allowing you to have some good uses if you're not playing an alchemist role.

This mode is due to the lack of other balance oil modes, which either give infinite charge (thereby negating full points for some skills), or make their effects so powerful that they are basically overpowered instantly. Compatible with v1.31.

The oil fill is now 30/40/50 instead of 20/40/60. Oil now provides 15%/30%/45% damage instead of 10%/25%/50%. Some may find the initial modifications too harsh, and since I'm in the process of updating my mods, I decided to make some much needed modifications. This will make the base oil feel less dull and will dilute the higher quality oils slightly.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
