There is so much to do and explore in the vast open world of The Witcher 3<\/em><\/a>. There are hundreds of hours of treasures to be found, quests to be completed, and enemies to defeat. With so many incredible and intricate details in the game, players are bound to miss something on their first playthrough. While looting hidden chests and achieving powerful swords through boss fights<\/a> is the way most players get their weapons, crafting gear can be the best thing that Geralt can do.<\/p>\n

Finding crafting schematics and diagrams, gathering the materials needed, and getting personalized, super rare gear for the white-haired wolf is truly one of the best things a player can do in the game. All you need to know to become the next master craftsman is here!<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Finding Diagrams<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are hidden diagrams all over the world of The Witcher<\/em><\/a>, some much harder\u00a0to find than others. A good\u00a0way to find rare schematics is through treasure hunts that lead Geralt to\u00a0Viper, Griffin, Bear, and Cat\u00a0School Gear.<\/p>\n

Geralt can also find diagrams by completing other random quests<\/a> throughout the game, or by purchasing them at vendors across the map. Once the witcher obtains a diagram, he can then head to a blacksmith or an armorer to find out what materials are needed to create the weapon.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Gathering Crafting Components<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In order to bring the weapon to fruition, Geralt must gather a list of required ingredients. Each diagram requires a different set of materials, some more intricate than others. Silver and steel ingots are typically a much-needed ingredient, as are steel plates, leather straps, diamond dust, and various others.<\/p>\n

A quick way to gather crafting components is through dismantling old gear with the help of a blacksmith or armorer. They can take apart unused weapons to utilize their materials in a new sword or weapon.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Level Requirements<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are level requirements to use certain craft-able weapons. Some weapons in the game are at a restricted level so that Geralt can’t use them unless he is strong enough<\/a>. However, other weapons will downscale their level to match Geralt’s so that players\u00a0can use them wherever they are\u00a0on the timeline of their playthrough.<\/p>\n

The weapons won’t level up as the witcher levels up, so it’s better to just wait to craft a weapon when you get Geralt to an ideal level.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Blacksmiths<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are blacksmiths all over the map, mostly found in big towns and cities. Though they have experience crafting blades, they might not be good enough to craft weapons strong enough for the protagonist. Some blacksmiths aren’t good enough to use diagrams found later in the game since they’re way too powerful.<\/p>\n

Make sure to visit highly skilled craftsmen when creating a high-end weapon. \u00a0The best blacksmith in the main game is Hattori<\/span>\u00a0in Novigrad. His skill comes at a price since Geralt must complete the Of Swords and Dumplings quest before he can unlock his abilities. Finishing the quest results in the best blacksmith plus a free sword, so pursue that quest as early as possible.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Armorers<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Armorers follow the same rule as blacksmiths. There are different levels of skill in different armorers, so finding the more experienced ones is important.<\/p>\n

The best armorer in the game is Yoana in the Crow’s Perch. Though Geralt meets her at the beginning of the game, Yoana’s ability to craft diagrams for the protagonist isn’t unlocked until after completing the<\/span>\u00a0Master Armorer side quest.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Runes<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The best way to make a good sword even better is by equipping runes to them. Runes add a magical boost to a weapon’s abilities, increasing various stats based on what type of rune it is. There are 10\u00a0types of rune, each with Lesser, Normal, and Greater strengths.<\/p>\n

Chernobog runes boost\u00a0attack power, Velds runes increase\u00a0sign intensity<\/a>, and Morana runes cause a chance to poison. There are many runes that can be combined or strengthened to any weapon with an open rune slot.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Rare Diagrams<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the rarest diagrams in the game is of the\u00a0Beann\u2019shie Relic Steel Sword. This incredibly powerful sword can be found in\u00a0Freya’s Garden on Skellige Isles. It is incredibly rare to achieve and requires a Master or Grandmaster blacksmith to craft.<\/p>\n

The level 44 Relic Steel Sword with\u00a0351-429 Damage\u00a0makes the effort totally\u00a0worth it. The Viper School Venomous swords are also very\u00a0hard to find. Diagrams for these powerful swords can be found in\u00a0bandit camps and down a crypt in White Orchard.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Best Silver Swords<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The best craftable silver swords<\/a> in the game are definitely worth the effort to create. At the top is the Harpy Relic<\/a>, which diagram can be found in Velen as guarded treasure. It has 475 Damage and +10% chance of bleeding, and the weapon requires a level of 37 or higher to use.<\/p>\n

Another must-have is the\u00a0Faustino sword diagram, which can be obtained from a blacksmith in\u00a0Arinbjorn. This mighty weapon has 465 Damage, +50% critical damage, and also requires a level of 37 or higher.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Best Steel Weapons<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Besides the impeccable Beann\u2019shie Relic Steel Sword, another fantastic steel weapon that can hardly be beaten is the powerful\u00a0Tir Tochair Blade.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0The Witcher 3: The 10 Best Silver Swords, Ranked | Game Rant<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The diagram can be purchased from multiple smiths and a merchant in Skellige, one in Fayrlund, one in Fyresdal, and one in Hindarsfjall. The masterful blade\u00a0requires a master blacksmith to craft, and a level of 46 or higher to use. There’s also the Black Unicorn, found in the Signal Tower in Kaer Morhen, with a damage of 400 and a required level of 46.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Best Crossbow<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The best craftable crossbow<\/a> that can be found in The Witcher 3<\/em>\u00a0is the Feline Crossbow. The diagram\u00a0can be discovered in a sunken ship southwest of Novigrad, and it requires Geralt to be level 29 or up to use it. With an attack power of +225% and +10 armor-piercing, this bad boy is a must-have for any crossbow user.<\/p>\n
