Ursine Steel Sword - Mastercrafted is the Mastercrafted tier of the Ursine (Bear School) steel sword, witcher gear from the base game. It deals 284-348 damage at level 34, with +20% adrenaline gain and +75% crit damage. Its diagram is in the cave west of the Pellar's hut in Velen. It is late-game steel.

It also gives +5% bonus experience from humans and nonhumans and has 3 rune slots. The adrenaline gain suits an adrenaline build, and the Ursine set bonuses suit a Quen tank.

Against the Superior tier, it raises adrenaline gain from 15% to 20%, crit damage from 50% to 75% and damage from 256-312 to 284-348.

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 3-piece and 6-piece bonuses come from Grandmaster pieces worn as a school set. 3 pieces: when a Quen shield breaks, a new one may be cast at no stamina cost, with a 5% chance per set piece worn. 6 pieces: damage dealt by abilities that involve Quen rises by 200%.
