This is easily one of the best and most comprehensive tutorials for any videogame function I have ever seen. I knew almost everything in this tutorial prior to the video... and still was totally involved in this video and watched the whole thing. I'm very impressed, and so glad that this guy is out there for newer players so they can enjoy this amazingly immersive game.
You're most welcome! Thanks so much for the feedback and encouraging support, good to know im doing things right :) 🙏
Agreed this is goated content, im a witcher newbie so this helped alot!! 🔥
You normally have great guides, but this is next level. Finding those specific monster components can be tricky at times. Do you plan on making videos like this for the other witcher schools?
Thats awesome to hear, thanks for the positive feedback! 🙏
Im not sure if ill be making further crafting guides, but i have noted it down as possible future content. Watch this space :) 🍻

WitcherBabe here! Thank you for such an amazing explanation of building with your gear! It was driving me crazy because Every time I went into a shop it didn’t show the grandmaster griffin sword. Now I know it’s because I wasn’t in the right shop!!! Back to my game so I can level up my weaponry 😀
You are most welcome Dawn. Glad to hear the guide was helpful for you, thanks for the feedback and happy monster slaying! ⚔
Im only at level 4 as a newbie...looks like I'll have to wait a bit to use your guides. I did acquire the viper set of swords though. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks man. Yr video is legend.
You are most welcome brother, thanks for the positive feedback 🙏
Hope you're enjoying the awesome game 👊
The runwright in hearts of stone Dlc is also a mastercrafter if you level him up
Yeah you are correct, but it costs 30K Crowns to get him to Master level, whereas Hattori and Yoanna are free, just gotta complete their quests.
There are actually another two free Master crafters in B&W, but you have to wait until you reach Toussaint, at which point you may as well use Lafargue, the Grandmaster.
Learned something new and useful, here’s your like sir
Thank you for your like and feedback Iggy, much apopreciated! 🙏
Wow thanks bro ❤
You're most welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
hope youre doing well bro missed streams so much keep up the great work !
Hey Filo! Hope you and family are all keeping well and safe my friend 🙏
Been finding time to fit everything in tough lately but dont worry i plan to bring back the streams :)
@@GamerGrade we are alright thanks not many people here on Slovakia are infected only like 400-500 people
Thats good to hear Filo, i take it you're not on lock down then, in isolation? Hopefully wont be too long before things get back to normal!
What game are you playing at the moment?
@@GamerGrade Hmm hard question to be honest !!!
I finished Ac:Black flag and rogue few days ago
Trying out Tomb Raider 2013 its free on steam at the moment
Started with Mafia II like week ago
When im bored ill jump to Witcher 3,Skyrim or The Hunter COTW and sometimes World of tanks Blitz and Fallout 4
And mostly now i play Black Desert online it was for free so why not +MMO,RPG games those are my favourite type of games
But right now im waiting for another steam sale so i can get Borderlands 3 and waiting for the Cyberpunk and Horizon zero dawn to be released ! And hell yeah i love those free steam offers like that you can get plenty of cool games this way i already got like 5 games that cost around 5-20€ normally
What about you ?
Nice collection there man, AC Black Flag was good, i also enjoyed both the new TR games. Im an old school TR fan since the very first Playstation release back in 1996 (yeah im old lol). Completed almost all of them.
I also completed all the FO games apart from number 4, which i skipped due to the bad reviews, but looks like its improved a lot now. I also played Borderlands 1 & 2 to death, was meaning to try 3 but just never found time, as i know how addictive those looter shooters get.
Cant wait to see what HZD looks like on a decent spec PC, it was amazing on PS4, so on PC it will be truly jaw dropping, as long as they port it right.
Atm im playing Doom Eternal for a quick 30 - 60 mins of action here and there. Im a bit restricted on time as my kid is out of school so i gotta home school him until this pandemic gets under control.
But definitely planning on getting RE3 on the 3rd April 100% and will be doing videos on it no doubt.
Now is definitely the time to grab all those Steam sale classics you've missed, at those prices, most of them are bargains!
Good to hear from you Filo, will no doubt catch up again soon brother 💯👊
Im lvl12 by now playing on death march for the first time. I happen to run across relic gear pretty often, what determines if the weapon/armor is better tbh? does 20dmg more on a sword value losing bleed? Is 15 armor worth loosing slash elemental resistance etc? I also try not to drop my griffin sword(viper swords before) no matter how much dmg something new does because I don't wanna lose the bonus exp.
The Witcher gear sets are the best sets due to their combined bonuses, also used in conjunction with their corresponding 'general' skills, ie. Cat School Techniques, Griffin School Techniques, and Bear School Techniques. Also make sure to upgrade the sets as soon as the level requirements are met (enhanced, superior master, grandmaster) they outclass any other gear in the game, including relics. Also they offer some powerful bonuses if you equip all 6 pieces at grandmaster level :)
However they do cap out at level 40 in NG, just something to be mindful of late game.
Hey gamergrade great video as usual! I just wanted to ask you about something in re 2 remake can you get an S+ ranking in standard mode while using infinite wepons ?
Hey how are you doing?
In answer to your question, no you cant, you have to be on Hardcore difficulty to be able to get an S+ rank.
Hope that helps 👍
Also you cant use infinite weapons for S+ :)
Really good, informative video. I think you're channels underrated: switch to a 60fps webcam and lower your webcam or higher your chair, angle is a bit low, I don't feel like I should be looking down on you while you're informing me. Do that and I bet you'd see larger, steady growth. Not saying this as a creator since I'm not one, but rather telling you what I'd like to see as a viewer. Great vid keep it up!
Thanks a lot for the helpful feedback! Noted 👌
A new camera is also my top priority, ive been fooling myself for way too long lol 😂
Thanks for watching and hope you have a great new year :) 🍻
I’m new to this game this will help me alot
You're most welcome Pat! Thanks for watching 🙏

Hello again, just want to ask is there a chance adding a socket on my gear? Without the DLC pack on the game?
You only need the Hearts of Stone DLC for the socketing and enchanting options (Runewright), the B&W expansion is not required. Of you dont have HoS, then unfortunately you cannot add sockets.
lve it
cn u tell me which time i can see blacksmith on the map in skilege.
cz i nd to crft enhncd grfn st....
Thank you!
Usually mid afternoon is a good time for crafters, around 3pm :)
when i am on the crafting page it doesn't show me the swords slots can you please tell me why
Hi. Quick Question. Is it better to equip full 6 piece Master Griffin Set instead of None Set Gear with the Aerondight Silver Sword?
If you want to deal the most damage with your Silver Sword then go with the Aerondight, as long as you keep it levelled up with Geralt, it will out damage any other build in the game, due to its charging capability (double damage with 10 charges).
@@GamerGrade Thank you
What are those numbers next to the items on the right? Like in this case, number 11 next to griffin silver sword picture.
I can't find this info anywhere and am still too new to the game to have figured it out.
Thank you
Thats the level requirement to be able to equip/use that particular item 👍
@@GamerGrade awesome! Thank you so much for the information :o)
You're most welcome :)
The witcher gear doesn't show up in the crafting menu...... i've played this game 4 times and only now am i finding this glitch......... great video btw best ones on youtube
Thanks for the positive feedback man, much appreciated :) 🙏
There's a couple of reasons why the Witcher gear isnt showing up in the Crafting menu:
First is the crafter you are visiting is not of a high enough skill level (Amatuer level craftsmen cannot craft any Witcher gear, so it wont show up)
Second is you havent picked up the appropriate diagrams, which the maps point to.
You mentioned a bug which could also be the case!
Have you followed the guide to pickup the basic diagrams?
It's a very good guide. But still no clue how to find the individual who can craft the enhanced sword at my level ( 18 ) in the game?
Thanks! Any Journeyman Blacksmith will be able to craft the sword for you, there's one in Oxenfurt to the east of the Western Gate sign post :)
There's also one in Novigrad City, check this post for both locations: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/220526/where-can-i-find-a-journeyman-blacksmith
Thank you very much. Awesome dude:)
You're welcome, good luck! 🍻
i have failed the mission for hatori.is there anyway around for me to upgrade mastercrafted griffin sword?another blacksmith?please help me 🙏🙏
You'll have to wait until you reach Toussaint in Blood and Wine, as there isnt another Master Blacksmith until then.
If you cant wait until then, then id recommend loading a previous save, and not failing the quest 👍
@@GamerGrade nah im just gonna wait Toussaint map rather than i have to play back at low level.now im 31 level.thx brah! Cheers !!!
Good idea you're not far off, good luck man 👊
Just out of interest, how did you fail Hattori's quest?
And if you leave all your crafting until you get to Toussaint, you're going to need a horrendous amount of money - Lafargue and the other crafters in Toussaint run about (by my maths anyway) 10-20% more expensive (depending on what you're asking them to do, obviously) than those in Novigrad, Velen and Skellige.
Items unique to the crafters in Toussaint like the Enriched Dimertium Ore and the Infused Slyzard Hides you'll need to craft 'grandmaster' level weapons and armour, are even more expensive, even to craft up from lower level items - as in the vid - it costs about a grand to craft two ingots for one sword....
There is an upside though: if you're short/low on money, then make sure you complete all the question marks in all 3 main areas (Velen, Novigrad and Skellige - yes, do ALL the question marks in the seas around the Skellige islands) and put ALL the armour, weapons, horse accessories (etc) you get from all these question marks in your stash. Once you've got access to Toussaint, do a few selling runs, gradually emptying out your stash as you go, and sell all that stuff you got from the question marks to the traders in Toussaint and you'll get (about) 15% more for them. Most* of the traders in Toussaint will re-up on Crowns if you fast travel out ot Toussaint and back again without having to wait the one in-game week for them to re-up on their cash... again, most* - not ALL. Also, exchange all your Florens/Orens at Vivaldi bank in Novigrad (he's on the main square) after you've done all the question marks, and he'll drop (about) 20-40K crowns in your wallet. The amount of Florens/Orens you loot is (as far as I know) random, and you don't have to have all the Florens/Orens on your person, they can be in your stash as well for Vivaldi to exchange them. Good luck dude.
cygnusx10 yeah.its kind hard when i just got into toussaint.i have to farming/loot/sell all those valuable item or just go rage and loot all items from bandits.but what i have to do?i have failed quest due to im low level when im doing hattori quest.thats my big mistake that i have done on witcher.to be honest i can have a look first from other player gameplay but i would like to enjoy the game from my own decision and perspective view.overall this game give all of us different choices. cheers!!
I'm at lvl 36 cannot craft Griffen armor or swords, keeps saying lvl is too low to craft confused on why?
Maybe you are visitng an Amatuer level craftsman, instead of a Journeyman or Master crafter, which are required to ctaft Witcher gear?
@@GamerGrade visited the two mentioned in the video still can't craft
somehow when you are level 11 which is the level you need to wear your first witcher set. there are no blacksmiths in Velen or Novigrad that are qualified to craft basic witcher swords, only Hattori can after doing his level 24 quest, this is so unfortunate
Any Journeyman level crafter can craft Basic WItcher gear 👍
👍
Thanks for watching :) 🍻
hey man its been a while
Thanks for watching bro!
Do the crafting components weigh anything??
No they dont 👍
@@GamerGrade found out the hard way, complete newbie at the Witcher I just dove in head first.
Thats the best way to play it on your 1st playthrough 💯
lve it
Thank you! 🙏
Good luck and enjoy the game 🍻
Is griffin sword the best?
It depends on your preferred playstyle, Griffin is good for Sign focused builds.
@@GamerGrade more of a damage guy. I figured that wolves will be best for me.. already have all diagrams just missing the basic silver wolven sword.. gotta visit kaer mohren for that
Indeed, Wolven or Ursine 👍
Do you think one of the potions geralt has will save us from corona virus ? 😰
For sure!
Geralt recommends the Enhanced Golden Oriole 🍶
Witcher potions are deadly to ordinary folk!
I'm grateful for your thouroghness...sometimes lol
Lol appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching! 🙏
why is your crafting menu different from mine? I need a thing called "fifth essence" to craft the improve version of sword, and I have no fucking idea what it is and where to find it
You normally loot these freely from the environment.
If you dont have any then you can purchase them from the following merchant:
Herbalist at the roadside shrine in White Orchard
Quartermaster at the Nilfgaardian Garrison
Tomira in White Orchard
Anselm at Crow's Perch
Blacksmith in Oreton
Merchant in Silverton district
@@GamerGrade thank you
@@gnayiefnus1327 Welcome :)
Can't wait for your Cyberpunk 2077 guide videos!
Im pumped for Cyberpunk for real! 💯
Thanks for your continued support bro 🍻
So I buy wicher like 3 month ago and I know how to craft right now and RUclips recomendented this video to me now....
Lol good job RUclips! 😂
Lets support each other and stay safe
Stay safe and thanks for watching brother 👊
Plz subscribe too
Dude, why do we need to know where the grandmaster craftsman is at the beginning of a beginner's guide to crafting..
Good point! 🤔
Is it just me? I am playing for the first time, in white orchard. Crafting seems pointless. I can buy an upgraded steel sword for the same money it costs to craft one, without the crafting materials. Prove me wrong, have I made a mistake?
Yes crafting weapons and armor is completely pointless and should only be considered when it comes to Witcher gear sets as follows:

Griffin gear sucks too bulky I prefer the viper gear
If you're going purely by looks and nothing else, then i agree 👊
Otherwise it does the complete opposite of sucking 👍
GamerGrade yes I was going by looks
Yeah it does look bulky, especially around the belly.
There's actually a mod which will allow you to switch the stats between different sets, but only if you play on PC.
GamerGrade wow that’s a relief but too bad I have a Nintendo switch
Being able to play it from something that can fit in your pocket is a pretty impressive achievement!
why the fuck would you need a monster brain for crafting a sword? xDDD
Monster brains possess certain organic substances that become almost indestructible when extracted and repurposed by the appropriately skilled crafter.
Very tedious
Thanks for watching!
Got it for switch to play wherever I'm at to kill time, first time playing the game. I went blood and broken bones currently working on getting the griffin, had a terrible roll on moonblade so I don't have a choice but to use Elemmator and Griffin sword and I can't find any light armor besides termian so I purchased nilfgardian armor. Any idea what to throw in the sockets? I like the plus burn runes but can only find the lesser runes. Any tips on builds would be great appreciated, currently running full axii MM,SA, and precise blow... And gourmet ofc
