The Grandmaster Wolven gear set stands out as one of the most versatile equipment sets available in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Introduced in the Blood and Wine expansion, this medium armor set enhances Sign Intensity, Adrenaline Point gain, and overall attack power for Geralt. Mastering the search for these ancient diagrams allows players to unlock powerful combat bonuses tailored for hybrid playstyles.
Starting the Grandmaster Wolf School Quest
To begin your search for the Grandmaster Wolven gear, you must travel to the vibrant region of Toussaint and speak with Lazare Lafargue in Beauclair. This master craftsman gives Geralt the quest Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Wolven Gear after discussing legendary witcher armor sets. Following his initial directions will lead you toward the Termes Palace Ruins located in the eastern area of the map.
Before exploring the ancient ruins, make sure Geralt is adequately prepared with appropriate silver swords and potions to handle aggressive wraiths and barghests. Investigating the abandoned archaeological campsite outside the ruins reveals crucial journal entries regarding the expedition. These notes point players toward a locked magical barrier that guards the hidden subterranean chambers.
Exploring the Termes Palace Ruins
To bypass the magical barrier blocking the main entrance, you must find a Purple Ruby located on a corpse lying outside the ruins. Placing this ruby into the nearby keyhole disperses the forcefield and opens the path into the catacombs below. Inside, players must navigate narrow stone corridors while using the Aard sign to clear collapsed walls and debris.
As you venture deeper into the underground complex, prepare to face a formidable Giant Centipede guarding the inner passages. Defeating this creature allows you to reach the main chamber where the lost witcher's remains lie. Carefully searching the area will yield all six diagrams needed to craft the complete Grandmaster set.
Locating All Six Grandmaster Diagrams
The first set of schematics is housed inside a satchel left in the western alcove of the burial chamber. Inspecting this bag grants players the diagrams for the Grandmaster Wolven armor, trousers, and boots. These blueprints form the core foundation of the defensive gear suite.
To obtain the remaining pieces, turn your attention to the skeletal remains lying in the eastern section of the room. Searching these bones provides the diagrams for the Grandmaster Wolven steel sword, silver sword, and gauntlets. Gathering all six items officially completes the scavenger hunt objective in your quest log.
Crafting Requirements and Set Bonuses
Unlike other Grandmaster sets in Toussaint, the Grandmaster Wolven gear does not require players to possess mastercrafted versions from previous tiers. You can bring the required crafting components—such as Infused Dimeritium plates and cured draconid leather—directly to Lazare Lafargue. This unique feature saves players a considerable amount of time and gold during the crafting process.
Equipping three pieces of the set allows Geralt to throw up to three bombs without delay during battle. Wearing all six pieces increases the number of oil charges applied to swords, ensuring long-lasting damage bonuses against tough monsters. This combination makes the Grandmaster Wolven set an exceptional choice for alchemy and swordplay enthusiasts alike.
