  • Hello and welcome to my video showing how to craft the Grandmaster Witcher sets as cheaply as possible! I'll also be doing a video about how to make money and save money late-game by selling and dismantling various items.
    First of all, check out this incredible post from Reddit user Leonardearl which breaks down the costs and the process from start to finish:
    / cnrtvnzj09
    As shown in that post, you can save in excess of 22k purely by using the materials available in the main game and Blood and Wine if you craft the necessary components instead of buying them individually.
    There's also this fantastic post from RyotoYokoyama showing this in pictorial form:
    www.reddit.com...
    The TLDR version is make Infused Slyzard hides from Draconic Leather + Infused Crystals, and make Enriched Dimeritium Plates/Ingots as follows:
    Gold + Silver + Copper to Green Gold Ore to Green Gold (add Copper + Nickel) to Orichalcum Ore (+ Dimeritium Ore + Acid Extract) to Enriched Dimeritium Ore to Enriched Dimeritium Ingots to Enriched Dimeritium Plates
    Check out the video... hopefully it saves you a boatload of crowns and lets you craft at least one of these magnificent Witcher sets.
    Please leave a like if you enjoyed the video and/or found it useful, and subscribe for more videos! Please also feel free to comment or ask any questions.

    I did all six Witcher Gear sets at the same time in my 8th game. Cost me a little over 200,000 crowns. Four are Grandmaster and Two are Legendary (Viper/Manticore) I put five in Corvo Blanco and wore one. That should have been an Achievement.

      Do you have to start from scratch when getting legendary witcher gear? Say I have the grandmaster for a set and start NG+ can I upgrade said grandmaster witcher set to legendary grandmaster, or do I really have to start from scratch like enrich, superior legendary etc.... ._.

    Just a tip for materials and money. In case you run out of dimeritium ores, there's an easy way to farm them. Go to the old signal tower in Kaer Morhen. You can infinitely farm the Pang of Conscience sword. You can dismantle it and obtain dimeritium ore and glowing ore ingot or sell it. Helps ease the crafting and spending process by a lot

    Really great videos man, thanks! You recommended Yonna at Crow's Perch for dismantling (cheapest) and the master armeror in Toussaint for crafting best quality. But what is your opinion on Hatori in Novigrad, I did not hear you mention him. Also, what is the best grandmaster set in your opinion: Ursine, Wolfen, Bear, Griffin....?

    • @DPhoenix237
      @DPhoenix237  5 лет назад +6

      Thanks for the kind words! I didn't mention Hattori because he gives high prices, but not as high as thus Toussaint masters and the Grandmaster, so he's kind of in the middle. He is relatively expensive for dismantling because of this, but not quite as good to sell to so I don't really use him myself.
      For which armour is best, it depends on your build really. I think Ursine is the best because it has the highest resistances and I use it on the Uber build, which is the best build in the game.

    Since the grandmaster sets require master crafted sets as well, does that mean I can't craft them if I just play the blood and wine DLC...or are those recipes already available?

    • @DPhoenix237
      @DPhoenix237  5 лет назад +6

      Manticore and Wolven sets don't require the Mastercrafted sets so you'd definitely be able to get those.
      I've never done the DLC as standalone but as I understand it the sidequests for the Witcher gear would still be available for you to do. Try it and see!

    • @DPhoenix237
      @DPhoenix237  4 года назад +1

      @chief wiggums Nope, but for the Manticore and Wolven you can craft the Grandmaster straight away, like I said. Manticore had no previous sets, and Wolven doesn't require the Mastercrafted sets because of the tree DLC bug which was already known at the time Blood and Wine was released.
      Obviously you're entitled to your opinion about the DLC being 'peeled off the main game and sold for extra'' but I strongly disagree.
      The main game has more content and quality than virtually any other game I've ever played. Hearts of Stone is great and doesn't cost too much, and Blood and Wine is incredible and is better value and quality than most full games.

    • @hircine92h
      @hircine92h 4 года назад

      I crafted the Grandmaster Wolven Armor. surprisingly it did not require the Mastercrafted Wolven set, so I sold those to make back some coin. Also the Manticore set does not have any previous gear, so you can directly craft that. not a big fan of the Manticore set however.

    • @DPhoenix237
      @DPhoenix237  4 года назад +1

      Gear isn't mediocre if you know how to use it correctly. Hie gear synergises with abilities is the main driving influence behind the best builds in the game.
      The game is too easy though, I'll give you that.

    • @DPhoenix237
      @DPhoenix237  4 года назад

      I am right, and I care because it's a question of semantics and accuracy.
      I did my No Armour Death March run and routinely beat red skull enemies as part of that. Does that make gear mediocre? No, it just means I'm so good at the game that I don't need it.
      But saying 'gear is mediocre' and saying 'I don't need to use good gear' are two different things, and can mislead people of they read garbage like that and think that it's accurate.

      If you've left any Archespore nests untouched, try and save first then kill them and meditate to see if they respawn. Archespore tentacles will dismantle into Acid Extract of you've got the glitch.
      Otherwise, buy all the Acid Extract from the Grandmaster Smith and the master Smith & master Armourer near him, then meditate or fast travel until they've got more, and just repeat that 😥

      Hmmm, what level are you? Do you not loot stuff or dismantle any weapons or armour and stuff?
      You can only use the Grandmaster sets from level 40 and by that point I always had more than enough of the items needed, but then I loot quite a lot.
      Not to worry; you get loads of these resources in Toussaint anyway, so just clear out some of the quests and Undiscovered locations in Toussaint and you'll get enough to make at least one set of Grandmaster gear.
      Leave the leader of the Mont Crane Hanse base alive because you may need to farm it later to get money to buy the missing ingredients from the Grandmaster armourer instead.

I don’t craft or buy every sword I see, but I do pick them up and sell them all for heaps. But blood and wine (which I just started) is most likely going to drain me of my money now. But like the other day I was crafting my master crafted feline and I made the fucking dumbest mistake. I needed a bit more money so I was selling some shit brain farted and I saw that “he” had dimeritium for sale And it was only 800! For a bar. Also he had ore which was like 1000 for 11. Then I noticed my money went up I checked and I had to pay 9000 grand to get it back. I bought it back I ended up on like 3k but next day I had 23k

    Question for ya. Armor sets. When you spend a lot of money on the lvl 40 grandmaster sets. What happens when you hit level 47 and that gear is not as strong as other sets you find in game? How can you level up the armor? Can you craft armor and weapons at higher levels than what the crafting thing says? Like it says longsword, level 8 on the crafting page. If I craft it at lvl 20, would it be lvl 8?

    • @DPhoenix237
      @DPhoenix237  5 лет назад +1

      You can't level up that armour or swords; they just are the level that they are. Aerondight is the only sword that can level up and you do.
      You don't need to level up the Grandmaster sets though. A armour rating counts for practically nothing; resistances matter much more.
      Check out my New Game Plus walkthrough. I use the armour aet I had at level 40 to take out enemies that are level 90+ in episode 2.

      Well the set bonuses were added as part of Blood and Wine so that's why they are only on the Grandmaster sets.
      You can use the Grandmaster armour from level 40 through to the end of Blood and Wine, which is roughly 12-15 levels, and then with the correct build can use them through the majority of New Game Plus.
      So, yeah...hard disagree, but if you don't like them you don't have to spend the money on them 👍
