Manticore Silver Sword

The Manticore Silver Sword is the silver blade of the Manticore School gear, added with the Blood and Wine expansion. It is meant for monsters and other magical creatures, and its +250 armor piercing and +50% critical hit damage make it hit very hard.

Like the rest of the set it only exists at grandmaster level, so there is no chain of lower versions to craft first. Wearing three pieces lets critical hit chance and critical damage apply to bombs, which are also thrown without delay, and six pieces add one extra charge to every alchemy item.

The rest of the set: armor, gauntlets, trousers, boots, steel sword.
