The Witcher 3 brings you four sets of Witcher armour that you can find, create and use throughout the game and these sets give you some of the most powerful armour and weapons in the game. Each set of armour comes from a different Witcher school, Bear (Ursine), Cat, Griffin and Wolf. Two additional sets were added with the DLCs for this game. The Blood and Wine DLC added the Manticore set and the Hearts of Stone DLC added the Viper set.
A complete set of Witcher gear will consist of armour, boots, gauntlets, trousers, a crossbow (not in every set), a steel sword and a silver sword. The armour sets can then be upgraded in different stages, standard, enhanced, superior, and mastercrafted. With the Blood and Wine DLC you will also be able to upgrade your Witcher gear to grandmaster level. During New Game+ you can upgrade the armour further to legendary, enhanced legendary, superior legendary, mastercrafted legendary and grandmaster legendary.
Witcher armour items are not simply found throughout the map. To complete a set you must first find the design through scavenger hunt side quests, then gather the materials needed to create the item, and then find a blacksmith capable of crafting your item. The higher the level for that item, the better the blacksmith you will need to craft it.
This guide will detail how to find all the blueprints and what items you need to craft each item. When you have everything you need you will have to find an Armourer or Blacksmith to make your items. The easiest place to do this is the fortress in Kaer Trolde, where you will find both of these in the entrance.
If you have the Blood and Wine DLC you can upgrade your levels to Grandmaster. To trigger the Grandmaster level scavenger hunt quests, talk to the Grandmaster Smith in Beauclair. To craft the Grandmaster level items you will need to talk to Hattori in Novigrad to upgrade your weapons, or the Armourer in The Crows Perch to craft the Grandmaster armour. Any items you have for a set can be upgraded beyong Grandmaster in New Game+.
