In the original game it's the  most OP, but in new game+ Aerondight falls off.

This is because crafted swords, and swords that have a set level stats continue scaling beyond level 100.

Remember that times when your gear could exceed level 100 in new game+, so they pached it, because you couldn't even equp it? I assume they fixed it by making everything cap out at level 100 requirement, but the actual stats continue scaling on.

Basically in order to obtain the most powerful gear in new game+, you would have to grind to level 100 in the base game which is insane, but doable. This way you could obtain level 140 witcher gear, and 140+ witcher swords stat wise, although they will still be level 100 swords requirement wise.

Aerondight being a relic sword caps out at level 98, where you can get 2 more charges for level 100 stats. Gesheft (crafted) actually becomes the best siver sword in the game, as it would be level 146 sword stat wise with 100% crit damage 15% crit chance and 15% chance to poison.
