I some how manage to acquired the map for the cat school armor, but I can't remember how I actually got it so below is based on what I found after finish the quest.

Anyway to properly start it, you need to go to Est Tayiar, located NE of Oxenfurt, the place you want to get to is kinda like a circle on the map. Look for a wall you can break with Aard to get a diagram and also to start the quest. From here is easy, the last part is tricky since you can't really see how to get the to entrance. Hint is inside spoiler cause some people probably prefer exploring it on their own



I got the whole set last nite and crafted it but it's lvl 14 and I am 13 at the moment so I can't use it except for the silver sword which is level 13

np, I forgot to mention that you need to complete The Wandering Dark before you can look for cat set.

Look for maps on Merchant that you visit, some of them sell maps that will activate quests for the gears set. The quests simply give you location to get the diagram, meaning even without the quest you still can stumble upon them.

Completed Feline armor + upgraded Griffin armor, prefer the Feline armor looks though.

I love how they twist some of the quests story, even after you complete them you still can find something that tells you more about the people in the quests.

Oh sorry thought you talking about armor haha, there are other griffins around though I haven't found another one yet but I am still at Velen. From what I see roaming monster do respawn. You should get the diagram for witcher's armor and weapon as soon as you can, they are usually better.

Anyway for oils, decoction and bombs you only need to craft it once, it will refill when you meditate.

Hmm might have seen that Griffin, I think it was way over my level when I first saw it.

Might be spoilerish

Yeah but you need a certain blonde sorceress before you get to it

Early game i tried to parry monster, never got it to work cause I think they usually lunge at you. So I use the dodge roll but that uses stamina, now I just dodge using circle. Use Quen, dodge and do combo, feels like playing Bloodborne again, except the Quen part.

Boq story is good

I simply avoided the bears lol since they never go close to the entrance. I did kill them later cause I needed their skin or something

Ah werewolf quest is another decent story though it's pretty cliché

I have only encounter 1 bug so far, one of the bandit camp i cleared never get greyed out, this is in Velen though.

Happily enjoying the view and got ambushed lol

One problem I found with the game is the loot scaling, I beat a lvl 21 earth elemental at lvl 15, he was guarding a chest so I thought probably have some sweet stuff in there. Open it, a lvl 10 sword, guarded by a lvl 21 earth elemental

So now i pretty much go to guarded chest just to kill the monster, don't really care about what's in the chest anymore, considering I am using Feline gear at the moment and when I get to 20 I can upgrade them to the enhance version. Well at least if it's some relic weapon from the chest, they sell for decent price.

Yeah me too, after seeing those stuff from chest,now I only use gear crafted from diagram and only witcher gear, I didn't really look into other diagrams haha.

don't keep too many, and no no place to store it lol
sometimes I venture and explore too long also ended up overweight, you can ride your horse back to nearest town to sell stuff, riding is not affected by it

hmm no high level hag there, just a stone formation, I got a video of the fight

I got lots of mats too, constantly at 89-90/130 lol, the encumberance system quite annoying especially if you like exploring, cannot explore too long, must always go back town sell stuff.

some player mention their stuff disappear after drop, so not sure if 100% safe, I did drop all those letter/books/notes I have read into a house.

Well not sure, but mats are usually very light, while those gears are heavy. Also mats for crafting gets heavy too, you don't want to have like 50 leather straps, the weight add ups lol. So i mostly drop unwanted stuff like all those books and letter and notes, i also sell off mats and only keep like 10-15 each per mats. Gears I sell all of them

They refill when you meditate as long as you got alcohest or any bottle of alcohol stuff
Ingredient only needed for first time craft and no needed after that, this apply for bomb, potions decoction and oil

I drop it in the house that buy contract trophies lol and yeah too many things in inventory makes it laggy.

Bear set, looks pretty good, I prefer Cat, coz I am more quick attack and dodging player lol

I stumble upon the Masterwork version of this armor lol and I don't even have the normal version yet.

Oh the new dlc up in US store now
