Crafting

Updated: Nov 3, 2016 8:32pm UTC

Crafting is a game system for creating weapons, armor and gear in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Geralt can find various crafting schematics and diagrams, which can then be used to create weapons and armor (provided he has the necessary components). Once you have the diagram, you must take it to either a Blacksmith or Armorer who can then craft the desired item for you. Note that only Armorer can craft armor, and Blacksmiths can only craft weapons.

Often times, weapons and armor crafted will be much stronger than those found in the wild, and will have added abilities or increased damage.
