The best set of armor the Witcher 3. Supplement "Blood and Wine". A guide to finding unique sets of NON-Witcher armor and weapons. Needed to create

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.

It will look good on the wall of Corvo Bianco's main hall or in Geralt's bedroom.

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.

For downed dolls, b is given about A big time boost than for well-aimed shots, but try not to neglect either one or the other. Needless to say, the pumped crossbow skill Lightning reflexes useful to our hero in this competition.

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 partners. 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. From time to time, 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.

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.

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 reality, 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.

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 was unable to 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.

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 .

As in any other RPG, the Witcher has a huge amount of various gear that differs in parameters and appearance. If armor is often only cosmetic in nature, then in this game you have to pay attention to stats in order to survive the next battle with monsters.

Hello everyone, dear readers! Today I will tell you which armor is considered the best in the game. Begin!

Witcher equipment

There are several main witcher schools in the game: Cat, Griffin, Wolf, Bear. Each of them provides a unique set of equipment, which includes:

Steel sword.
Silver sword.
Crossbow.
Armor.
Bracers.
Boots.
Pants.

The characteristics of things depend directly on the chosen school. For example, in a cat, the bias is more on critical hits, so it will be especially effective for dodgers, and in a bear on damage and HP.

In addition to unique characteristics, equipment from any school adds protection from creatures. This will be especially noticeable during battles.

You have to work hard to get the gear. Any thing is crafted from a drawing, which must first be found. But even if you find a recipe for making, you will have to look for a master who will agree to do this.

The gunsmith is located in Vronitsy. Complete the quest with him, after which you can craft armor. To create weapons, you need to find another master Hattori in Novigrad.

Each item can be gradually improved in several stages:

Basic.
Improved.
A great.
Excellent.

In the latest additions, a grandmaster level has appeared, improving equipment to the limit. Two paid DLS also have new schools: Manticore and Serpents. The equipment of these schools requires the presence of level 40 and a strong nervous system to collect blueprints.

Common Equipment

Witcher equipment, although considered the best, is not mandatory; it can easily be replaced by ordinary swords obtained in battle or during crafting. It is impossible to say exactly where and when you can get good armor. For the most part, it's pure random. It's all up to you how often you explore the area, complete quests and craft gear.

Remember the main thing - in, equipment, although it is of great importance, but not critical. If you know how to dodge, then armor is not needed at all. Concentrate better on yourself, and good equipment will come to you over time.

That's all. Subscribe to the blog and write in the comments what gear you think is the best. See you soon, dear readers!

The gameplay includes many aspects, and finding good ammunition is one of them. This article will help you figure out which armor is better to choose in The Witcher 3.

Since witcher armor is considered the most useful, their location and the masters who can improve them will be presented below.

One of their good armor in The Witcher 3 is the armor of the Cat school. It is worth starting the search from Novigrad, or rather, from the northwestern side of the city. From there you can see a barely noticeable path leading to the cave. She is hidden by an illusion, so you should get Keira's gift. After dispelling the illusion, you need to fight a level 16 golem.

Further, adhering to the right side, you need to use the Aard sign and, having reached the end, pick up a receipt for the golem. It is worth returning along the left tunnel, where the protagonist is waiting for a riddle in the form of statues around the site. The task of the witcher is to turn the stone statues towards the platform, after which it will move apart, revealing the water. After that, you need to dive into the water and prepare a crossbow, as you will have to fight off the drowned. When the enemy is finished, you can go down to the very bottom, where the key lies, and pick it up. Then you need to return to the main hall and open the locked door with the key. Behind her will be a mutilated witcher, after fighting with which, you can pick up the armor.

The crossbow of this school can be found on the island, which is located opposite the western coast of Velen. Having found a ship on the island, you need to examine it, and then pick up the drawing of the crossbow and notes on the location of the rest of the set.

To find the silver sword, you need to proceed east of Novigrad, where the ruins are located. Opposite them there is a temple, in the center of which there is a staircase leading to the dungeon. Having stumbled upon an obstacle, you must use the Aard sign and pick up the drawing of the sword.

As for the steel sword, then the search unfolds in the Drahim castle, where, after breaking the wall, you need to go down the stairs and pick up the desired drawing.

This was the basic set of cat good armor in The Witcher 3.

In Velen is the Hanging Tree, from which you need to proceed north to the nearest ruins. At the top there will be a nest of harpies and a hidden passage - this is where the drawing of the steel sword is located.

The search for the blueprint of the silver sword begins at the lighthouse, which is located in the northwest of Velen. Next, you need to swim to the place of power, indicating the correct passage. Having dived, you can swim out already on the territory of the lighthouse. On its outer side, there will be a wheel that activates the bridge, where you can fight the monster and pick up the blueprint of the sword.

The rest of the good armor in The Witcher 3 of the Griffin school is in the Dragon Hunter's Grotto. The journey to the indicated place starts from Donvarren, from where the player must go to the cave inhabited by ghosts. Having gone to the very end of the tunnel, the main character uses Aard and, with the help of a witcher's instinct, finds a chest with the necessary drawings.

On the question of what armor is the best in The Witcher 3, the bear set will help you figure it out, since it is the heaviest and highest level. To start looking for him, you need to get to the story mission "Destination: Skellige".

In the south of the initial island there are ruins, where the drawing of the steel sword of the Bear school is located. To pick it up, the player will have to fight the sirens and ghosts.

Silver sword blueprints can be found in the north of the same island, where ice elementals with gargoyles live. Having defeated them, you need to go to the door, which is on the right side, and behind it is a drawing.

There is a cave south of the main island's fast track. There, at the end of the tunnel, there is a drawing of a crossbow.

The armor and the remaining parts are located in the Fort, on the territory of the village, which is located on the northeastern island. To the left of the fort there are stones along which you can get to the fortress. Inside it, you need to turn left and follow the stairs, where you have to activate the lever. After that, a fight with a ghost will be available, and after it you can proceed to the passage that is in one of the cells. When the player reaches the fork, he will need to turn right, after which the blueprints can be found.

Following the canon, many players are looking for the Wolf school set. On the question of which witcher armor is better in The Witcher 3, many are inclined to believe that it is the canonical armor that will come in handy.

To get started, you should purchase maps with labels for finding equipment. The first cards will be at the gunsmith Hattori, which gives the task "Swords and dumplings" in Novigrad. The next card will be at the blacksmith working in the village of Lindenvale. Another clue is sold by the gunsmith in Novigrad, and the penultimate element can be obtained from the gunsmith in Kaer Trolde. On Skellie, in Caer Mur, there is a blacksmith who owns the last card.

The only disadvantage of mining this armor is that the entire set is located on the territory of Kaer Morhen. That is, there are only two ways to get to this location - according to the plot and using console movement.

This armor appeared only with the latest plot addition. The best armor in The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine is the grandmaster equipment of the Manticore school. The search will help to carry out the tips of the blacksmith in Toussaint.

For starters, you should know that the level of this armor is 40, so it’s worth pumping before you start going through the add-on and looking for armor.

The Manticore Steel Sword is in the ruins near the ruined tower. To get it, you need to climb the walls and move to the tower itself. After that, you need to jump to the floor and look around with activated witcher's flair.

The chest armor of this school will be located at the end of the indicated cave. On the wall with notes there is Mertin's prayer - the blacksmith will need it to create a bib.

The blacksmith gives the next mark to search for the pants of the Manticore school, which are located in the indicated temple. Breaking through the wall opposite the entrance, you can see the box on the table, in which the schemes lie.

The search for the silver sword begins in a cave with poisonous fumes. Having sailed to them, the player sees the blockages, which are successfully eliminated by Aard, and then a blueprint can be found in the box next to the corpse.

The last hint of the blacksmith concerns the bracers that lie under the bridge, at the bottom of the reservoir. The diagram is in the bag.

Possible nuances

Sometimes, in order to search for a particular piece of equipment, you may need a plot item or opening a location that is currently unavailable. To do this, carefully study the clues or go through part of the plot.

As for blacksmiths, they are only able to upgrade equipment according to their skill level. What armor is the best in The Witcher 3 is up to the players to decide, because each type of armor has its own properties and features.

We talk about the best swords and armor in the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt "and its two plot additions

Sometimes, to complete especially difficult tasks in the game The Witcher 3, especially on high difficulty, there is not enough minimum advantage. Crushing monsters and monsters in human form is much more pleasant and convenient when Geralt is dressed in cool armor and brandishes an equally cool sword. We've rounded up some of the best gear in the Wild Hunt, as well as the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine DLCs.

Equipment of witcher schools

For the search for blueprints for creating professional witcher equipment, the developers have allocated a whole section of tasks. It is now extremely difficult to get confused and not find one of the blueprints - just select a special quest in the menu and go to the marker. A chest with the right item is usually guarded by monsters or bandits, and not far from the location of the treasure you will definitely find the sign of the corresponding school - for example, a cat's muzzle roughly scratched on a stone. The grandmaster armor of most schools can be found in the Blood and Wine expansion.

Kota School Armor

Light Armor - Stamina regenerates quickly. Suitable for those who like dodges, pirouettes and a fast fighting style. The characteristics that a full set of master armor will give you:

The base set of armor lies in the north of Novigrad, in the dungeons under the Temple Island. You can find it only after completing the quest line of the sorceress Keira Metz - to find the chest, you need the Eye of Nehalena.

Swords of the Kota school

Introduction

With the addition of "Blood and Wine", the level of opponents has noticeably increased, in contrast to this, the developers have added new sets of witcher armor and swords to the game - grandmaster (they are also great / grandmaster). The characteristics of these kits are described on the pages dedicated to each Witcher School separately. On the same page, there is a guide to finding and discovering all grandmaster sets (they are all located in Toussaint).

How to find a blacksmith grandmaster

First of all, you need to find the blacksmith Lafargue, who is located next to the Nilfgaard embassy in Beauclair. After talking with him, you will learn about the lost witcher blueprints for armor and swords of the highest level. The same blacksmith will tell you about the armor of the Manticore School.

After talking with him, you can start searching for the first blueprints. After your return, Lafargue will teach you the craft of forging armor and swords according to the grandmaster's drawings for a symbolic sum.

════Kota school equipment════

The equipment of the School of the Cat belongs to the equipment of the highest class, designed to protect against the elements and increase the damage of blades and the Aard Sign.

════Snake school equipment════

The equipment of the School of the Snake was added later than the sets of all the other Schools, therefore it has some significant differences in the method of searching for schemes and characteristics. There is only one gradation for each of the elements of the “serpentine” weapons and armor instead of the usual four, but at the same time, the set is designed for a character as much as level 40. Be careful: if you miss the moment when you can get any of the elements of the set, then in the current game you will never get it.

In the original game, there were two blueprints for very weak swords of the School of the Serpent of the 2nd level, the new ones are called "Poisoned Steel Sword of the School of the Serpent" and "Poisoned Silver Sword of the School of the Serpent" and are not related to the old ones.

═══Griffin School Equipment═══

In the first versions of the game, the equipment of the Griffin School belonged to the equipment of the "second tier" and was designed for the early stage of the game; now, later versions of the equipment of all Schools have become adjusted to each other in terms of characteristics, so you can wear the Griffin set throughout the game.

The equipment is great for mages, since each element of weapons and armor gives bonuses to the power of the Signs. The list of weapons of the Griffin School does not include a crossbow.
