Belhaven Blade

The Belhaven Blade is a craftable relic steel sword from Blood and Wine. With a full +100% critical damage bonus, +30% Aard intensity, +15% critical hit chance and a 15% chance to poison, it is among the best steel swords you can make in Toussaint. A master blacksmith forges it at level 45.

The diagram is the reward of the treasure hunt Waiting for Goe and Doh in the Champs-Désolés. At a hidden treasure spot east of the Toussaint Prison, Geralt finds a camp overrun by drowners or bandits, depending on how far the story has gone. A note and a key there point to a boat full of loot that sank in the Sansretour River. Dive down, deal with the drowners and open the chest by the wreck.

The blade belongs to the same family of Toussaint swords as Faithful Friend, which has almost the same bonuses one level lower. If you want the stronger of the two, Belhaven is it, and it pairs well with an Aard-and-crits build.
