The Witcher 3 all equipment of all schools. Supplement "Blood and Wine". A guide to finding unique sets of NON-Witcher armor and weapons. Craft and Equipment Characteristics of the Griffin School

Here is collected all the information on obtaining the equipment of the Griffin School. The school has 4 gradations: ordinary, improved, excellent and master. Drawings of ordinary equipment are obtained through the task "Witcher's Antiquities: Equipment of the Griffin School", and all subsequent ones already without tasks.

Creating a stronger version of equipment requires the previous one, so you can’t just find blueprints for master equipment and immediately make yourself a “top” version. You need to find and craft everything in turn.

Equipment drawings of the Griffin School

Geralt found traces of blueprints that belonged to the legendary witcher Georg. Our hero heard many incredible stories about his equipment, and therefore decided to follow the traces found to the end.

The easiest way to start this quest is to come to the place where the first drawing of the school of the griffin is taken, it is here:

In the indicated place there is a dilapidated abandoned bastion, after examining which we find "Drawing: the steel sword of the Griffin School":

Having taken the drawing, the task itself is automatically given. By going to the quest log, you can find other places where the following drawings are located.

Also, in the same bastion there are notes that reveal the history of the witcher George, we give their contents:

The testimony of the witcher George

I, the undersigned Georg from Kagen, a witcher by profession, report the following.

While I was in Velen, I was called in as a specialist to verify the testimony of the accused Bartoslav from Lyubovna.

The same Bartoslav was allegedly guilty of the death of several ships in the vicinity of the sea lighthouse, for which he was responsible. Vessels, led by the deceptive fire of the lighthouse, flew into the coastal cliffs, and the caretaker should have been punished for this. During the process, Bartoslav showed that he was fulfilling his duties in good conscience, and the night owls should be responsible for the incident, that they were deceiving the navigators with wandering lights.

After a quick investigation, I confirm that no traces of night owls have been found in the area. There are also no traces of middays, lures, deceivers and other ghosts that love to lead tired travelers astray, such as: sea, foot or horse.

On the other hand, I discovered the true cause of the disasters: noondays (vide spar) are not to blame for them, but the lighthouse keeper is not responsible either. These accidents happen because of the surrounding peasants, who kindle fires on the hills at night, and then rob the crashed ships. I went on their trail thanks to the son of Bartoslav, he also showed me the marks from these fires.

According to the information I received, the caretaker Bartoslav from Lyubovna is not guilty of the atrocities of which he is accused. However, I humbly submit a request that the seneschal provide the overseer's family with protection, because in the light of the circumstances that I discovered together with Bartoslav's son, there will certainly be those who want to take revenge on him. I myself cannot take on his protection, because, having accepted the order to kill the dragon prowling in the vicinity of the Crooked-Ear Hills, I will have to return to the hills and kill the beast there before she tears my customers apart.

Signed: Georg of Kagen, witcher

Compiled by Vincenzo Ston, Investigator of the Royal Prefecture in Gors Velen.

Letter to brother-in-law

What I will write to you now, you read carefully, brother-in-law! As soon as you receive the letter, drive to the swordsman Kramer, who is sitting in Maribor. Tell him we have top-notch merchandise for sale and some blueprints for witcher swords. You, I suppose, scratch your turnips and think, where did I get such good stuff from? Well, so: I had to deal with one witcher, that I already had one foot in the grave. And I watch how the poor fellow is tormented in agony, and I myself think that, right, he has all this equipment, and paperwork is already useless, but we can open a common cause, how we successfully push his economy. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I didn’t take everything from him, so no one will understand that he is missing something.

The Witcher was a good man. First, he helped the baronet with the sea lighthouse, and then he killed that dragon that ate the peasants. Only the dragon was also not made with a finger, and our hero was greatly annoyed. As soon as they put the witcher in the tomb on the Crooked-Ear Hills, I will immediately run to you. Of course, I'm interested to see how they will put him in this tomb, if the men say that some kind of vampire is sitting there.

P.S. I also took some eggplants from the witcher, but they can be beaten on the road. So I myself will try all this witcher drink for the success of our future affairs!

Your relative A. Blashchik

We go to the next place marked on the map - to the grave of the witcher George:

We explore the entire dungeon. Inside, in addition to ghosts, you have to defeat a strong opponent - Ekimmu. In general, we clean everything, including picking up 4 recipes for the griffin school:

There you can also find the "Diary of the Witcher George", its contents:

Diary of the Witcher George

Hearing rumors about the dragon, I rushed to Velen with all my strength. Unfortunately, the prefects from Gors Velen distracted me from hunting the reptile. I was called there as an expert to solve the mystery of several shipwrecks allegedly caused by night owls. What to do, a dragon devastating villages is less important than a trade route that has risen. Luckily, I quickly figured out the mystery of the lone sea lighthouse and set off again in pursuit of the dragon.

I learned that the peasants from the destroyed villages found refuge in the elven catacombs on Lake Morechko. Reasonable! However, they did not have the intelligence to better choose their kindling material. They fired elven manuscripts! It's scary to think how much knowledge of the Elder People went up in smoke. Fortunately, I managed to save several manuscripts (including an interesting sketch of a shell). But enough about that.

According to the testimony of direct witnesses: the scales are ashy, the height at the withers is two fathoms, the length is five fathoms (addendum: estimated weight - about 14 centners). The ability to keep heat in the bellows (dragon lungs) for more than a quarter of an hour. Conclusion: we are dealing with a green dragon.

I start hunting.

It remains to explore the last place on the assignment - the ruins of a fortress near a lonely rock, it is located here:

A Wyvern will meet us on the spot (in my case, she was level 14), after killing her, you will need to get into the fortress, and it is very difficult to guess how to do this without prompts.

First you need to safely go down to the water, down the slope to the right of the bridge:

The last drawing is near the bridge, you will need to climb these stairs:

And at the top we find "Drawing: the silver sword of the Griffin School"

This completes the task.

Geralt managed to find blueprints for all the items the witcher Georg had ever used. In addition, many unknown facts from the life of the glorious dragon slayer from the Griffin School were revealed.

Drawings of improved equipment of the Griffin School

Improved equipment requires level 14-15, so it makes no sense to go in search of improved drawings before level 14. Also, to create improved equipment, you will need the usual equipment of the Griffin School.

There is no quest associated with finding improved blueprints. All drawings are in different places. There are no difficulties with obtaining them, it is enough to know the place where the drawing is located, so the description will be brief.

You can find gunsmith and armorsmith blacksmiths in the city of Oxenfurt.

Drawings of excellent equipment of the Griffin School

Great equipment requires level 21-23 to use, so before level 21 it makes no sense to go looking for them. The blueprints are located on the Skellige Islands. To get there, you must have completed the quest On Skellige.

The search for blueprints is not associated with any job. In total, the drawings are in three places - in one steel sword, in the second silver, and in the third armor + pants + gloves + shoes.

silver sword

Located at the bottom of the main island. The drawing is located in a cave where you will need to defeat the polar bear.

steel sword

It is located on a small island, which can be reached by boat (although I already had this island “discovered” in the main story). In the indicated place there is a small gang of bandits - we kill them, and behind the stone, in the chest, we take the drawing of a steel sword:

Armor

Armor blueprints are on the main island. There will be about 20 pirates in the indicated place, after killing them all we take the drawings in the chest:

Drawings of the master equipment of the Griffin School

The search for master drawings is also not associated with any task. Equipment requires level 30-31, but I personally took the blueprints without any problems at level 21. In two places there will be strong opponents of level 30, but you don’t have to fight them anywhere - you can safely run past.

A lot of interesting content was added to The Witcher 3 with the release of the Blood and Wine add-on: a huge location made from scratch with its inimitable color and atmosphere, new and well-forgotten old monsters, characters unfamiliar and previously seen in books and, of course, new sets of armor and weapons - witchers, knights and even vampires. Here we will talk about the last two types of combat equipment for our fencing master today. Let's help Geralt spruce up and decorate the main hall of Corvo Bianco with truly unique pieces of armor and blades.

SET OF GERALT OF RIVIA/RAVIX OF HERTORHOG

Nominal knightly armor, a crossbow, a sword, a saddle and even a shield will go to our hero if he does not refuse the request of Guillaume de Longfall and agrees to take part in the Grand Knightly Tournament instead. In other words, in order to get them, we will have to go through an additional quest. "Song of the Knight's Heart", and pass not anyhow, but with “one hundred percent synchronization” (may the haters of the Assassin series forgive me this metaphor). Depending on the name under which the witcher enters the tournament, he will receive a set of either Geralt of Rivia, or Ravix of Chertororog. Both sets are completely identical in their characteristics and differ only in the name and the heraldic signs applied to them.

1. Named armor, supplemented gloves, boots and trousers of the Toussaint knight, as well as name shield with coat of arms the witcher will receive automatically after visiting the clerk's tent and completing all the necessary formalities. Whether you wear them at the tournament or change into the usual witcher clothes - decide for yourself, but in any case, all the items of tournament equipment given out will become yours from now on and forever.

2. Named crossbow(attack power + 300%) will go to Geralt only if he wins shooting competition. He will have to hit nine targets faster than the enemy.

The Witcher will need to overcome the track in a certain time. Initially, the allotted time is clearly not enough even to overcome a small part of the route, but it can and should be increased by knocking down with a sword straw dolls and hitting with a crossbow targets placed along the route.

Both prize saddles are absolutely identical in their characteristics and differ only in the name, the color of the blanket and the coat of arms on the back.

4. Named sword will be granted to our hero only if he not only wins all three tournament competitions - shooting, horse racing and team sword fighting, but also defeats the winner of the last year's tournament - the knight Gregoire de Gorgon. The swords of Geralt from Rivia and Ravix from Chertororog are exactly the same in their characteristics and differ only in the name and the heraldic sign on the hilt.

Supplement "Blood and Wine". Guide to Finding Unique NON-Witcher Armor and Weapon Sets

In a sword fight you can use potions, food and oils, but only on condition that they were placed in active slots and applied to the blade in advance, i.e. BEFORE talking to Guillaume about Vivienne's curse in Geralt's tent. During the fight (both team and duel), the game will not allow you to get into Inventory. She will not allow to use the Signs. Choose potions based on your build and playing style, but from oils, only hanged man's poison. Perhaps with one extra skill point, it's worth unlocking and equipping the skill Gourmand(a branch of additional skills), which allows you to restore health within 20 minutes after eating. In this case, don't forget to place at least one of the four active slots with some food (Red_Starreader's tip).

During team fight try not to let yourself be surrounded - a few missed hits and you will lose. Don't focus on one enemy. Your partners are weaker than the fighters from the opposite team, and if you do not help them from the very beginning, then you will quickly find yourself in a one-on-five situation. Use the entire arena, try to attack from behind those who are engaged in combat with one of your teammates. Do not try to call the enemy and do not stand in one place for a long time. When Geralt approaches, opponents automatically switch from other bots to him. Use potions sparingly. Before the fight with Gregoire, you will not have the opportunity to meditate and replenish their supply.

Supplement "Blood and Wine". Guide to Finding Unique NON-Witcher Armor and Weapon Sets

AT duel with Gregoire, I strongly advise against trying to parry his powerful blows with a sword. It's much more effective to duck under his arm as he swings, and then land a few hits to the side and/or from behind. Then step aside, wait for the ex-champion's new attack and repeat the described maneuver again. Periodically, Gregoire swings his sword with such force that the blade is stuck into the ground, and it takes a certain time for the thug to extract it. At such moments, he is especially vulnerable - do not miss your chance to pile on him with extra people.

Supplement "Blood and Wine". Guide to Finding Unique NON-Witcher Armor and Weapon Sets

In addition to tournament trophies, Geralt will also receive winner's laurel wreath. By the way, you can put it on your head if you wish - just place the wreath in one of the slots pocket in gear. Useless from him, but nice. Still, winning the Big Tournament is not a pound of raisins for you.

We remove from the dead armor- armor, pants, boots and gloves. Lying next to him Vitis steel sword- we just select it.

Supplement "Blood and Wine". Guide to Finding Unique NON-Witcher Armor and Weapon Sets

Note. As conceived by the developers, the way to the body of the knight should be shown to our heroes will-o'-the-wisp. Actually, there is a light in the game - it hangs over a puddle, to the left of the path to the tower - and it is quite capable of fulfilling its function. However, in fact, it turned out that the chance of accidentally stumbling upon the corpse itself is much higher than the chance of finding a guiding firefly. Here is such an incident.

SILVER SWORD OF ARONDITE

Yes, yes, we are talking about the very sword that Geralt once received from the hands of the Lady of the Lake near the village of Darkwater. Gods, how long ago was that! So much water has flown under the bridge since then. In the maelstrom of events that fell upon him, the witcher could not save the expensive gift, but now he has a chance to regain his unique blade. This will happen as part of the quest. "Ways of Destiny", which our hero will receive by taking note "Challenge to Trials of Virtue" from bulletin board to main market square Beauclair. Another way to unlock the quest with Arondite is to eavesdrop on a conversation between a certain rider Bors and Percival on the tournament fields (in this case, the note from the notice board in the city will disappear).

Well, here is our witcher and tacked on. It is not a shame to put on such unique armor and weapons, even put Corvo Bianco in the main hall. It may not be witcher equipment, but it is also worth a lot. And now, when Geralt has his own house, he can afford to become a collector - lead a measured life of a winemaker, admire memorabilia and remember past adventures. By the way, how complete is your witcher's weapons and armor collection? If suddenly some items from witcher and non-witcher sets escaped you, we are ready to help you find them. Adrian_CH .

Sets of specialized witcher armor are the most powerful artifacts in the game. Getting them is not easy, but one way or another, Geralt will discover the corresponding blueprints scattered around the world.

Witcher School Equipment

The vanilla version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt contains three sets of such armor and weapons belonging to the following schools:

Cat School Light armor that provides protection from elemental damage. It also increases the power of attacks. The base set requires level 17.
Griffon School- medium armor, increase the power of signs. Basic set - level 11.
Bear School- heavy armor, increase the speed of adrenaline gain. The base set requires level 20.

All schools provide additional protection against monster damage. For the schools of the Cat and the Bear, there are also drawings for making crossbows.

Sets of other Schools can be obtained by installing add-ons to the original version of the game.

For example, the Hearts of Stone DLC adds some equipment to the game Schools of the Serpent(requires level 40 to use). And a separate free add-on: Treasure Hunt: Items wolf schools» (Wolf School Gear), adds blueprints of the corresponding school to the game. Wolf equipment can be used from level 14.

Equipment can be found in the powerful Blood & Wine DLC Manticore schools, it requires level 40.

The armor of the "vanilla" schools and the School of the Wolf can be improved in stages, moving from ordinary to "improved", then to "excellent" and, finally, becoming "workshops". The Grandmaster level is added in the Blood and Wine DLC.

Each upgrade level requires an armorer/blacksmith of sufficient skill. Creating master armor will require finding true masters in their field. But first they will ask you to complete tasks.

Characteristics of items and spoilers - where to look for blueprints, I removed the articles on individual schools inside. If you want to find them yourself, don't follow the links :).

Rare and unique equipment

The "weak point" of the equipment of the witcher schools, created according to the drawings, is that it is of a fixed level. The game contains common, rare, magic equipment and relics that can be found in chests or knocked out of opponents. The required level for these items may vary, and the characteristics of the artifacts will depend on this.

Here is an example of a Small Club with the required levels 28 and 20.

high level weapons

The game is designed in such a way that by the final events of the main quest you will be able to put on master armor and weapons from any witcher school (one of the Schools from the game without DLC), i.e. reach level 34.

After going through the whole game, I gained experience only up to level 35. But in the game you can find recipes for creating items designed for a much higher level of the character. Considering that experience is given mainly for completing quests, reaching the required level seems to be an impossible task.

Here are some of the drawings:

Long claw, steel sword, level 37.

Foreman, silver sword, level 37.

Harpy, silver sword, level 37.

Mountain tooth, silver sword, level 37

Gnomish Gwihir, steel sword, level 42

Banshee, steel weapon, level 44

Dwarven blade, steel sword, level 45.

Blade from Tir Tahair, steel weapon, level 46.

I reached level 38-39 by completing the Hearts of Stone DLC. At the same time, level 45-46 seems completely unattainable without installing add-ons that allow you to complete new tasks.

Not so long ago, we collected the basic equipment of the Kota school. Now let's collect Improved, Excellent and Master equipment.

Improved Cat School Gear

DRAWING: IMPROVED SILVER SWORD OF THE CAT SCHOOL is located in one of the houses in Novigrad on the second floor:

In this article, we will talk about the best armor in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Witcher armor in almost all parameters, especially in additional ones, surpasses everything else that we meet during the game. As soon as we get the first set of the witcher, for example, from the Griffin school, we stop paying attention to other armor, and in vain. The two strongest sets for attack and defense, partly consists of the so-called "second-rate" armor.

Now let's take a look at the most interesting and eye-catching sets that you will encounter at certain stages of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The very first set that we meet in the game world - Temerian armor. You can find it at the merchant in the White Garden, whom we saved from the Griffin. The only limitation is the price and level. The best property is that it is light armor. In general, it does not provide any additional bonuses other than resistance. The set is worth attention, but only because of its appearance. If you come to the merchant at level 50, then the level of his goods will already be 29.

We meet the second set of armor immediately after the "White Garden" in the castle in Vronitsy at the quartermaster, who stands not far from the entrance to the Bloody Baron's house. Nilfgaardian armor just as bad as the Temersky ones. This is a medium type of armor, and medium armor without strengthening signs is useless. To me, it looks much worse than the first.

The third and last set that we can buy from merchants in the game, we meet on the Skellige Islands at the forge in Kaer Trolde. Heavy armor from Undvik just like the previous ones, they do not have any additional characteristics other than resistance. However, it is precisely these parameters that are important for heavy armor and the fact that you can simply buy them and not look for recipes deserve attention.

The Hearts of Stone expansion gave us four types of new armor. Witcher set of the Serpent school, which is very similar to the basic armor from Kaer Morhen. Traditional Ophir clothes: kaftans, kuntushi. Set of the robber and set "Flaming Rose". None of these armors can be bought ready-made. For everyone, you need to find recipes, and then make them.

To receive you need to Ophir armor, you need to talk to the merchant. Visit a couple of places, kill a bunch of fanatics from the Order of the Burning Rose, and only then make copies. They look very unusual, especially after the heavy Skellig ones.

Embroidered Kuntush- you can get it at a wedding or in the house of Olgerd's wife, in terms of parameters it is somewhat inferior to Ophir armor, but it looks amazing.

Find a recipe Armor of the Knights of the Burning Rose not easy enough, for example, killing bandits and checking all the chests along the way. The armor, of course, is heavy and, apart from bonuses to resistance, has nothing. Unfortunately, this is not a complete set: sword, cuirass and gloves.

All this pales in comparison with the armor - new moon(relic). We are given it during the quest "Robbery". Medium armor type, has two rare bonuses: increased chance and critical damage power. If you make the witcher a swordsman, then this set becomes the main target. It is this armor that I consider to be the best in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

In addition to Blood and Wine, CD Project Red did something very unusual. They took one type of armor and just started to improve its parameters, depending on the required level. For example, Armor of the Bockler Guard(master item)

Bockler Guard Armor - (magic item)

Armor of the Bockler Guard - (relic)

Slightly changing the previous version, increasing the required level and all the parameters, we get Bockler guard armor(magic item). As you progress through the Blood and Wine expansion, you will be able to collect all the necessary parts for this armor.

Bockler Guard Armor (Craftsman Item)

Armor of the Bockler Guard (relic)

Again, by increasing all the stats and the minimum required level, we already have Bockler officer's armor(relic)

Bockler officer's armor(magic item)

Bockler officer's armor(master item)

Again, a boost of parameters and small space changes give us (relic)

armor of the Beauclair Captain of the Guard(master item)

armor of the Beauclair Captain of the Guard(magic item)

Extremely difficult to assemble, and in terms of its characteristics, it is comparable to grandmaster sets. All these armors must be crafted, and in order to collect all the recipes for this armor, you will have to check absolutely all the chests. On the other hand, it is not necessary to look for all this, because we have four alternatives at once with the appearance, like a knight's armor.

Tournament armor of the Toussaint Knight(magic item)

Tournament armor of the Toussaint Knight(relic)

For example, Armor of the knight Geralt of Rivia, which we are given during participation in the tournament. It has rather weak characteristics, so this is not the best option.

Armor from Tesham Mutna, or as it is also called, the Tesmah Mutna shell is an excellent armor with a unique ability to absorb HP. Finding them is easy, just be careful during the quest with Regis in the castle of the same name.

With the following options it is already more difficult, because you will not be able to get both at once. If you go to the world of a thousand fairy tales, then you can find Toussaint armor. But if you go to the cave to the Hidden One, you can get armor from Hen Hydt.

Personally, I don't like this armor.
