Ursine Steel Sword - Enhanced is the Enhanced tier of the Ursine (Bear School) steel sword, witcher gear from the base game. It deals 220-268 damage, with +10% adrenaline gain and +25% crit damage. Its diagram is at Kaer Almhult in Skellige. It is a mid-game sword that needs level 25.

It also gives +5% bonus experience from humans and nonhumans and has 2 rune slots. Compared with the basic Ursine Steel Sword, it doubles the adrenaline gain from +5% to +10%, adds +25% crit damage and adds a rune slot. The adrenaline bonus suits an adrenaline build.

Upgrading from the basic tier keeps its runestones, but a runeword is lost.

Set Bonus


The Ursine set is heavy armor. It has five tiers: Basic at level 20, Enhanced at 25, Superior at 30, Mastercrafted at 34 and Grandmaster at 40. The set bonuses come with the Grandmaster tier. 3 pieces: when a Quen shield breaks, there is a chance a new one is cast at no stamina cost, rising by 5% per set piece. 6 pieces: damage dealt by abilities that involve Quen rises by 200%.
