Velen

Headhunter is a Relic steel sword with 3 rune slots. Its best rolls are +45 armor piercing, +60% crit damage and +6% crit chance. It comes only from the treasure hunt Blood Gold, northwest of White Eagle Fort in Velen. Its level rolls on the drop, so the Blood Gold copy fits any stage.

Each copy rolls +5-45 armor piercing, +20-60% crit damage, +5-6% crit chance and a 1-2% chance to dismember. The crit damage range spans 40 points, so two copies can differ a lot. A high roll suits a build that stacks critical hits.
