The Witcher 3 is one of the most popular games of our generation. It is the perfect mix of combat, crafting, exploration, decision-based story outcomes, role-playing, and open-world gameplay. With hundreds of awards under its belt, CD Projekt Red discovered a shaft of gold and fame through Geralt as he traverses the life of a Witcher.
The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt follows the story of the monster-slayer Geralt of Rivia as he crosses territories and encounters different creatures and deities while searching for his adopted daughter Ciri. As they are famously called, the Witchers are hired by people, from townsfolk to kings, to slay different kinds of monsters across the fictional Slavic-based country.
These monsters have different habitats, behaviors, powers, tendencies, and weaknesses. For this reason, players must equip Geralt with the right kind of weapon and armor depending on the expected enemies to face. In addition to this, Geralt must use a different sword when dealing with hostile humans since his silver sword is solely for fighting monsters.
Many armors and weapons are easily found and purchased in the Witcher world. They can be dropped as loot from enemies, sold by merchants, and even as quest rewards. But among the plethora of weapons and armors easily available at players’ disposal, there lies a set of unique weapon and armor pieces hidden across the land, only attainable when certain conditions are met. One of these unique items is the Basic Feline Witcher Gear, specializing in increasing attacks and inflicting bleeding to enemies.
Even more special are the weapon and armor pieces representing the six different Witcher Schools: School of Viper, School of Wolf (where Geralt hails from), School of Cat, School of Bear, School of Manticore, and School of Griffin. This article will help you find the location of these gears and what you need to craft them.
Mastercrafted Cat School Diagrams
The Feline Witcher Gear requires a considerably high level to acquire and an even higher level to upgrade to Enhanced, Superior, and Mastercrafted level. To craft the Mastercrafted Feline Witcher Gear, you need to have the Diagrams necessary and have already crafted the Superior Feline Witcher Gear.
These diagrams are the ones you will spend hours finding since the materials required to craft them are accessible to players through exploration, loots, and merchants. In addition to this, players must also find the right blacksmith and armorer to craft these items scattered throughout the Witcher World.
Finding the Mastercrafted Diagrams is not any easier. There is already a great deal of exploration and combat required to find the Superior Feline Gear Diagrams. The time-consuming search will be worth it because the Mastercrafted Feline Witcher Gear will boost Geralt’s stats a notch higher. To find these diagrams, you must have Adalbert Kermith’s Fourth Map. This map can be bought from a blacksmith in Lindevale.
Players must have a considerable amount and variety of materials at this point. Should Geralt find himself lacking materials to craft the gear in the diagram, then spend more time looting, hunting, and exploring until you get all necessary items necessary.
