What is Grandmaster Feline Gear and who is it for
The Grandmaster Feline Witcher set is for level 40 and is an upgrade to the Mastercrafted Feline witcher equipment (level 34). It’s a light armor that increases Experienced made, possibility to trigger bleeding in addition to resistance to piercing, slashing, essential, and beast damage. If you choose quick melee attacks over making use of indications then this set is simply for you.
You require to craft the Basic Feline, Enhanced Feline, Superior Feline, and Mastercrafted Feline armors and swords initially as they become part of the requirements to craft the Grandmaster variation. More on that in the Crafting Segment later on in this guide.
Grandmaster is the greatest tier of witcher equipment in the video game. At this tier, you get Set Bonuses. The more pieces of the very same set you have actually geared up, the more bonus offers you get. More on that later on in the guide.
How to start the Scavenger Hunt mission
To unlock the mission, you require to open and gain access to Toussaint. This is the area contributed to The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt with its 2nd growth Blood and Wine. If you don’t own the growth, you can’t get the mission and the equipment.
When you get to Toussaint, discover the workshop of Lazare Lafargue. It’s situated northwest of the Mettina Gate signpost.
This is the only Grandmaster artisan in the video game. He is an Armorer and Blacksmith “2 in 1” . Talk to him and ask him about the Cat equipment diagrams concealed someplace in Toussaint. This will approve you the Scavenger Hunt mission for the 6 diagrams of the Grandmaster Feline set.
You can start and finish this mission at a lower level. The challengers you will need to battle are absolutely nothing remarkable however all of them are level 40+, keep this in mind. You will require to be level 40 to use the equipment, however.
Visual Overview of the Grandmaster Feline set
This set comes in dark blue color. It features a utility belt and chain mail protection around the neck, and both arms. The highest tier of this set adds a dark blue hood as well. You can use a dye on it to change the colors of each individual item. Dyes can be purchased from the Dyes Merchant in Toussaint.
Where to find the Diagrams
All six Grandmaster Feline gear diagrams are in the same area in Toussaint. You will find them near the Arthach Palace Ruins in the far North of Toussaint.
Grandmaster Feline Armor Diagram location
The Grandmaster Feline armor diagram is in an estate east of the Arthach Palace Ruins.
To get inside walk around the wall, you’ll find this wooden structure. Climb over and defeat the bandits.
Talk to the steward, then enter the red house that’s located to the North of the estate.
Once inside look for this portrait, the Grandmaster Feline armor diagram is hidden behind it.
Grandmaster Feline Trousers and Boots Diagrams location
The next diagram is located Northwest of the Arthach Palace Ruins. There are many enemies in this place. Before heading there make sure to replenish your Bombs, Decoctions, Oils, and Potions.
You’ll know that you’re in the right place when you see these old ruins.
The chest that contains the Grandmaster Feline Trousers and Grandmaster Feline Boots is on one of the bridges that lead to the center ruin.
Grandmaster Feline Gauntlets, Silver Sword, and Steel Sword Diagram locations
The last three diagrams are South of the Arthach Palace Ruins.
The diagrams are inside this cave. Be careful, there are two Archespores inside.
After the Archerspores are defeated, go to the end of the cave. There’s a leather bag on the floor, it contains the Grandmaster Feline Gauntlets, Silver Sword, and Steel Sword diagrams.
How to craft the Armor and weapons
After you have obtained all of the diagrams, bring them back to Lazare Lafargue. Below you can see the crafting requirements for each item and further down I have helpful information on where to find and how to get the rarest ingredients.
Infused Slyzard Hide
Can be purchased from the Shopkeeper Lafargue. You can also craft it from Cured Draconid Leather and Infused Crystal. Both also craftable items.
Enriched Dimeritium Plate
Can be purchased from the Shopkeeper Lafargue. Can also be crafted from Enriched Dimeritium Ingot.
Enriched Dimeritium Ingot
Can be purchased from the Shopkeeper Lafargue. Can also be crafted from Enriched Dimeritium Ore, which can be crafted or purchased.
Before you resort to purchasing an expensive crafting material, make sure you don’t have a way to craft it. All of the above-mentioned ingredients can be crafted. The ingredients for those items are fairly cheap and easy to find and loot. Things like Dimeritium Ore and Orichalcum Ore are available for loot. Explore Toussaint and do some of the question-marked optional activities on your map.
The rest of the items you can get by purchasing from alchemists, merchants or armorers, and blacksmiths. You can also get them by dismantling items at an armorer or blacksmith.
There is no doubt that this is an expensive witcher set. Not only the crafting ingredients are rare and expensive to obtain, but the crafting tax at the craftsman are steep as well.
Gear Stats and Set Bonus
The Grandmaster tier of witcher sets all have unique set bonuses. The more items of the same set you use, the more bonuses you receive. Below you can read the set bonuses for equipping 3 and 6 of the Grandmaster Feline items.
Bonus for 3 pieces:
Strong Attacks increase Fast Attack damage for 5 seconds by 10% for each piece of the set.
Bonus for 6 pieces:
Rear attacks deal 50% more damage, and also stun opponents at the cost of 1 Adrenaline Point(s).
Here are the stats of each individual equipment piece. The plus and minus numbers at the end show the differences between the Mastercrafted and Grandmaster tier.
