Certainly! In "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," some of the best armor sets you can obtain are the Witcher Gear sets. These sets not only provide strong stats and bonuses tailored to various playstyles but also can be upgraded through different tiers (Basic, Enhanced, Superior, Mastercrafted, and Grandmaster) to maintain their usefulness as you progress through the game. Here's a guide to locating and crafting these top-tier sets: 1. **Wolven/Wolf School Gear** – This balanced set provides bonuses to both alchemy and combat. To start your search, you'll need to buy maps from vendors: - For the base set, find maps from the Blackbough Merchant, Lindenvale Blacksmith, and Kaer Trolde Armorer. - The upgrade diagrams can also be found by purchasing additional maps from the same or similar vendors as before. The treasure hunt quests then lead you from one diagram to the next. The base gear is located around Kaer Morhen. 2. **Griffin School Gear** – Excellent for a sign-intensive build, offering a significant sign intensity bonus. - Purchase the maps from the Midcopse Armorer, Novigrad Armorer near Hierarch Square, or the Quartermaster at Crow's Perch. - Follow the treasure hunt quests which will guide you through a series of locations where you will find the diagrams. Most of the Griffin diagrams are scattered around Velen. 3. **Cat/Feline Gear** – Perfect for fast attack builds and offers high damage output. - Buy the maps from the Blacksmith in Lindenvale and the Cunny of the Goose Innkeeper. - The treasure hunt quests will lead you across various locations in Novigrad and its surroundings to collect all of the necessary diagrams. 4. **Bear/Ursine Gear** – Geared towards heavy attack styles and offers high defense bonuses. - Maps can be purchased from the Armorer in Skellige's Kaer Trolde or the Armorer in Novigrad by the name of Hattori. - The treasure quests for the Ursine gear take you through Skellige, including some of the islands. 5. **Manticore Gear** – Introduced in the Blood and Wine expansion, this gear is well-rounded for alchemy builds. - The diagrams for the entire set are found in the Blood and Wine expansion and do not require separate maps. Follow the treasure hunt quest called "Grandmaster Manticore Gear" which starts in Toussaint. Remember, once you acquire the diagrams, you'll need a craftsman of the appropriate skill level to craft the gear: - For Basic to Superior gear, any journeyman-level blacksmith or armorer can do the work. - Mastercrafted gear requires the service of a master-level crafter, which you can find in Novigrad (Hattoria for weapons, Yoana near Crow's Perch for armor). - Grandmaster level gear, only available in the Blood and Wine expansion, requires a grandmaster craftsman, whom you can find in Toussaint. Additionally, for the mastercrafted and grandmaster armor sets, you are required to complete a series of quests to unlock the blacksmith's full potential. To ensure that your Witcher gear remains relevant as you level up, regularly upgrade it to its next tier once you meet the level requirements. Being vigilant in your exploration and completion of related treasure hunts is key to assembling these superior armor sets. Remember to manage your inventory and resources, as crafting and upgrading these items can be resource-intensive, requiring various crafting materials found throughout the world or purchased from vendors.
