The Witcher 3 download mods for armor. New armor with the possibility of pumping

  • 16.12.2019

As you know, for such a popularly beloved game as The Witcher 3, there are a lot of modifications, and unfortunately, there are not so many really high-quality and cool ones as we wanted. We have selected 26 graphics modifications, some of them are trivial and small, others are large and complex, but each affects the graphics of the game and deserves your attention.

1. The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project

One of the best and largest modifications that changes the textures of most objects in the game: stones, rocks, thatched and tiled roofs of houses, books, moss, wooden and stone walls, metal grates and many other objects. Mandatory setting for everyone who decided to go through or replay the adventures of Geralt.

2. More Shadows

The mod adds even more shadows cast by various objects or people. The picture before and after is strikingly different, it looks much more lively.

3. The Butcher of Blaviken Lore-Friendly Geralt

Mod changes the appearance of Geralt, more in line with the books, i.e. pale skin, truly white hair, for which he was nicknamed "The White Wolf," and bestial eyes with a vertical pupil.

4. Lore-friendly Silver Swords

Mod changes the standard silver swords, now they are somehow different in appearance from ordinary steel ones. A silvery tint of steel, gleaming menacingly in the moonlight.

5. Next Gen Candles

The modification replaces standard candles with more natural ones, with melted tops, wax stains and more.

6.No Dirty Lens Effect

The modification removes traces of dirt and falling sun rays from the screen, the picture is cleaner and more pleasant.

7. Remove Screen Water Droplets Effect

The effect of the mod is the same as that of the previous one, only it removes the traces of raindrops, which look cheap and ugly.

8. Weather Enhanced

The mod changes the weather and makes it more varied. On the way, you may be caught by a thunderstorm or storm, snow or sun. You never know.

9. Increased Draw Distance

The modification changes the detail and distance of drawing objects. It will not be so striking when, for example, you look at the pier, and there is a platform without boards or a crane hangs without a hook.

10. Next Gen Novigrad Reloaded 2

The retekstur of the pavement and paving stones in Novigrad is clearly better than the original, and we will run around this city for a long time.

11. Super Turbo lighting Mod

Another one of the best modifications, it changes the lighting system in the game, the picture will look a little brighter and lighter, while you can just admire the sunset or sunrise, everything is so gorgeous.

12. Atmospheric Nights

Now, having entered the hut at night, you will see nothing there without a torch or "Cats", the mod adds atmosphere to the game and at least some sense of the existence of the already mentioned torch and "Cats".

13 WEATHER

As you can understand from the name of the mod, it changes the weather effects, rain and snow no longer look like oblique lines or some kind of dust, they now look much more beautiful and natural.

14. CLOUDS

Retexture of all clouds, including DLC. Better than the original and doesn't ask for much.

15. AQUA

Simply the best water. It is very beautiful and the difference is noticeable.

16. SPLASH

Changes the effects of splashing water to better and more beautiful. Better to put together with the previous mod.

17. Improved Sign effects

After installing this modification, the use of Aard and Igni signs turns into a real parade of special effects.

18. Improved Particle Systems

One of the best visual mods for The Witcher 3, completely reworks the system of particles and effects: dust, fog, sparks, fire, all magic signs, smoke from the chimneys of houses, smoke from the pipes of people who smoke and much more. The modification is quite demanding on the resources of your computer. If installed together with the previous mod, then get ready for a bright show.

19. BLOOD

Improves and changes the behavior of blood, which covers everything around in more detail and color.

20. More Blood Mod

More blood! More!!! But be careful, the modification can be subtle and you will observe Geralt covered in blood almost all the time.

21. PEEPERS

The modification changes the quality of the eyes of most characters in the game, including the witcher himself. Geralt's eyes will become much angrier and livelier than before.

22.4k Clouds

Cloud textures in 4K quality. The clouds will really become smaller, but they will also look more natural.

23. The Wolf Medallion

Geralt's wolf medallion with an updated, better texture and in three versions: without luminous eyes, luminous stripes or small dots.

24. Better Torches

New torch! Now has an updated texture, it can be used on a horse, in combat or when climbing ledges.

25. Next Gen Hay Stacks

Better, fuller and more natural haystacks, not the original scraps.

26. COMPILATION

One of the best mods for The Witcher 3 on this moment... A prefabricated hodgepodge of many modifications, including some of the above. Required to install if you want to really refresh the picture in your favorite game.

Installing mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Installing these modifications is quite simple, unlike the same GTA V. First you need to register on the nexusmods website. Next, you need to either use the nexusmods site modification installer, or download the archives with mods, create a mods folder in the game directory,

then copy the contents of the archives to the mods folder.

To do this, you need to go to my documents, find a folder with the name of our favorite game and create a text file in it called mods.settings.

Then set the desired priority, where 0 is the highest parameter. You can see how this is done in the screenshot.
That's all, if you have a desire, you can watch a video about these modifications, everything looks more clearly there.

2018 Updates! Gameplay and graphical innovations, as well as utilities to improve the game.

The Witcher 3 - great game which contains a subset of equally good mini-games. Gwent - card game, which Geralt plays throughout the entire plot. In truth, it is not unusual here for a player to choose a Gwent party instead of a bloody battle. Now you can do both! This mod replaces all battles in batches in Gwent. You will earn the same experience and loot as in the actual battle.

This mod seems to have left no stone unturned. Combat, obstacles, economics, alchemy, skills, weapons, armor and much more have all changed in order to make the game more difficult. It is in beta testing, so if you are interested, you can help, test it.

Hunter's Config is an excellent utility for adjusting game settings, and those to which you do not have access from the game menu. There is even a utility to return your previous configuration, and a button to install or uninstall SweetFX.

Torches are unsung heroes The Witcher 3, allowing Geralt to travel to the darkest corners of his world and are an excellent alternative to the Cat's elixir, which, although it makes it possible to see in the dark, at the same time paints everything in gray tones. In the same fashion, the torch becomes the hero's faithful companion. Now Geralt can use spells, ride a horse, climb rocks and block the blows of opponents, constantly holding a burning torch in his hands.

About 2 years have passed since the release of The Witcher 3, and during this time some modders abandoned their creations, which is why new fan additions and official patches often conflict with old mods. The Script Merger mod is designed to correct this situation. The principle of its operation is simple: the mod creates combined versions of similar text files, thus extending the lifespan of mods that were outdated even months ago. And don't be intimidated by screenshots with confusing menus - figuring out this mod will be much easier than it seems.

If it seems to you that the world around you is too calm, kind, here is a mod that will help you to cheer up. It will increase the chances of meeting a crowd of monsters, winged monsters, or simple robbers. The mod contains settings, so be sure you can choose the balance of random encounters with opponents you need.

Utilities

Debug Console Enabler

Download

If you are not going to be limited to installing only one mod, the divine powers of the debug console will come in handy. This utility gives you access to this console, allowing you to enter commands to change settings, spawn enemies, fix bugs and more.

Nexus Mod Manager

Download

All Witcher mods are tied to the Nexus, and the utility Nexus Mod Manager is The best way get rid of various bugs caused by incompatible mods. When installing new mods, be sure to pay attention to the warnings about possible problems, which may include problems loading save files. With the NMM, even mods that are basically incompatible with each other can work perfectly if they are installed in the correct order.

If you install several mods at once, then follow our instructions: do not rush, do everything carefully and be sure to pray.

Mod merger

Download

Did you know that the game has a limit on mods? This turned out to be news to us. If you exceed the allowed limit, then Mod Merger can come to the rescue. The whole process will take about 15 minutes, during which all compatible mods will be merged into one package. Too many mods, you say? No, no, I only install one (albeit indecent size) mod.

But be careful. Combine only those mods that work without problems with each other, otherwise you will have to repeat everything over and over again.

Menu and travel

Mods that simplify travel and interface, and finally shut up Buttercup.

Download

In the world of Geralt, by default, there are dozens of control points for fast movement, but sometimes you have to cross several kilometers on a roach to get to the nearest one. If you are tired of this routine, then this mod will allow you to teleport to any checkpoint - something similar was in Skyrim. The main thing is not to abuse this opportunity, since too frequent teleportations lead to problems with several quests.

Download

Of course, it's great that the map isn't packed with a bunch of icons, like in some Ubisoft game, but at times you can regret it, especially if you can't remember where the healer is. This mod adds all possible icons to the map - from the nearest merchants to quest points, information about which is taken from your quest journal. If you think this is overkill, you can always hide unnecessary icons.

Download

The chest with your things can be found at several points on the map, but the creators of this mod asked themselves the question: "Why not add more chests?" After installing the mod, 8 new points with chests will appear in the game, and 2 standard ones will be transferred to more convenient places. This is very convenient, especially if you have a mod for general realism installed, which takes into account the weight of the coins that Geralt keeps with him.

Download

One of the best things The Witcher concludes is that you need to prepare thoroughly before each major contract. We create oil from ghosts, stock up on moon dust, meditate and, of course, sharpen a silver sword.

In this fashion, meditation becomes a more meaningful process. During meditation, you spend experience points on pumping skills, replenishing supplies of alchemical items and oils, and also repairing the necessary things. By default, you cannot eat or drink during the battle in this mod, so make sure you are fully prepared for a midday encounter.

Friendly meditation

Download

If you think the Preparations Mod complicates the game rather, then you should check out Friendly Meditation. In this mod, the supply of potions is still replenished during meditation, but you do not need to look at the boring menu. On the contrary, the entire interface temporarily disappears, and you just have to watch the clouds slowly floating across the sky, shining stars and the sun rising from behind the mountains.

Sometimes the witcher just needs to be alone with himself, doesn't he? And don't forget to install the Unification patch for this mod.

Download

The user interface in The Witcher 3 looks pretty sophisticated, but disabling certain features will only make the game more difficult. This mod has several applications available from different downloads that solve interface problems. Hold the down button to meditate instead of visiting the menu, or hide the quest marker if you are not using the Witcher senses, plus some HUD elements that can be turned on and off by pressing any button, instead of bringing up the menu, and much more.

Lamp on Player's Boat

Download

Is this mod important? No. But it does add a lantern to your boat, and it looks good. A rather atmospheric detail, admittedly.

Download

Some of us (let's not point fingers) would love to shove the overly chatty Dandelion into an industrial meat grinder. But, since nothing like this has yet been invented in the Kingdoms of the North, it remains to be content with this mod, which turns off the video from Dandelion's diary.

Download

Oh my god, finally. Jumping aground.

Combat mods

Make the fights harder, easier, or more importantly more spectacular.

Critical Slow Motion Combat Mod

Download

If it seemed to you that the battles in The Witcher 3 lacked cinematography, then you should definitely install this mod. It slows down time at the moments when Geralt delivers critical hits, allowing you to see in every detail how the hero gracefully removes the head from the shoulders of another bandit. Isn't that enough? Then at your service is the More Blood mod from modder KNGR, which increases the amount of blood in the game.

Download

One of the best RPG elements in The Witcher 3 is undoubtedly the set of oils applied to the blade before a fight. But even the biggest fans of the genre admit that over time, the search for the right substance in Geralt's inventory and its use becomes too monotonous. And the Auto Apply Oils mod can fix this. As soon as an enemy appears in front of you, to kill which you need to use a specific type of oil, it will automatically be applied to the blade, and therefore you can immediately start the battle without any preparations.

AutoLoot

Download

Tired of digging through the inventory of defeated opponents after every battle? This mod will allow you to automatically collect everything that can be found in the area - both after fighting with monsters in the swamps, and in numerous lockers in the houses of Oxenfurt. But main feature fashion Auto Loot is that Geralt cannot automatically pick up valuable items that may cause problems. It is also convenient that the mod allows you to select in advance which game items you need to pick up and which ones not to touch.

FCR3

Download

Looking for mods officially approved by the creators of the game? How about FCR3, developed by Chief Gameplay Designer at CD Projekt Red. This includes many improvements, nerfs and buffs that make the fantasy world more dangerous and balanced. If you need a mod that makes subtle but significant changes, then this is your option. There are no graphic additions here, so the screenshot shows a regular photo of Geralt. Simple and humble.

Enemies of Rivia

Download

This mod changes so much combat system and the behavior of enemies that it should be placed in the section of mods that completely change the game itself. Enemies here are smarter, faster and don't hesitate to block attacks. And therefore, during each fight, they behave rather unexpectedly - the repetition of the same techniques remains in the past. If you are a student of the Bear School and are looking for a worthy test, then you will receive it.

E3DodgeSystem

Download

Longtime fans of the Witcher series will remember the game's golden era. Then wine was sweeter, swords sharper, and ghouls more stupid. They call this era E3 2014. There are several E3 2014 mods that bring The Witcher 3 closer to the demo that is still alive in the players' memories.

We're not overusing nostalgia, of course, but the E3 evasion system was great. Geralt had not yet learned acrobatic tricks, he stood firmly on the ground with two feet and aimed his sword straight in front of him. This mod is suitable for anyone who wants to bring this system back into the game, getting rid of all the window dressing in the style of Cirque du Soleil.

In addition, if during the battle you have a free second, Geralt will stretch his arms and swing his sword impressively. It looks very menacing!

Equipment and trade

Mods designed to lighten your load, rebalance your loot and give your gear a chic look.

Over 9000 - Weight limit mod

Download

Geralt already carries a lot of things in his bag, not counting two heavy swords behind his back, but if you are one of those who simply cannot get past the new sword from the witch hunter collection, then you need this mod. So what is the final weight limit? Yes, you guessed it. More than 9000. From now on you do not have to worry about the fact that captured weapons, which can come in handy in very rare cases, take up too much space in your inventory. Just take it with you and don't bother with such trifles.

Download

The game could be called the Wild Hunt, but hunting creatures and monsters is not the best way to make a living. If you are tired of killing a bunch of deer, you will get only a little meat, then this mod increases the chance that animals will leave behind a supply of meat or some ingredients.

Download

It's a little offensive when you bring a lot of unnecessary junk to the city to sell, and the local merchants are so poor that they can't afford to buy it all at once. This mod makes merchants more prosperous, so they are willing to pay more for each item. Unfortunately, the patch conflicts with version 1.31, but you have two choices: install an unofficial patch or an unofficial version of the mod authored by another creator.

Download

In the game, we travel either for the sake of finding a job or for the sake of fun - combining both is quite difficult, isn't it? If your Geralt doesn't mind playing Gwent from time to time, but doesn't want to jump around the neighborhood in search of new cards, the The Gwent Dealer mod will save him a lot of energy. This mod turns Quartermaster Baron into a real card collector. Now you can buy from him not only ordinary things, but almost any card.

Download

As with the Gwent Dealer, this mod turns the humble tavern owner into one of the most prominent merchants in the game. Now the owner of Dandelion's tavern sells almost all potions, oils, bombs, runes, mutagens and arrows. Out of balance? Perhaps. But it’s pretty damn convenient.

Download

Ugly equipment. It's sad, but it can happen even with the best witchers, no matter how they try to look stylish. If a new sword, over which you pored for several hours, will not have the most beautiful scabbard that does not fit into your color scheme in any way, then just download Black Scabbards to solve the problem. We believe black is perfect for everything, including the scabbard.

Download

On the one hand, this is a minor cosmetic change that does not affect the gameplay in any way. On the other hand, this is almost the best of all the created mods. If you're most excited about single-player RPGs appearance hero, then you should not pass by this mod. Geralt looks incredibly cool in his new robe. Moreover, there are keys to raise or lower the hood. But it already depends on your mood.

Download

There are quite a few gear mods out there, but our favorite is Sezon Burz. Based on The Season of Thunderstorms by Andrzej Sapkowski, this outfit fits perfectly into the Witcher universe while still looking surprisingly fresh. Moreover, new things are distributed by levels, so you can pump your hero and switch to a new set of equipment.

Download

Depending on your playing style, some elements of the daily routine of the witcher can become unbearable - especially after a couple of hundred hours in the game. If you are tired of spending money and time on repairing equipment, then the Indestructible Items mod will come in handy, thanks to which weapons no longer wear out. An extremely useful little thing.

Changes to graphics and game camera

Photo mode, redesigned textures, interface changes and more.

Absolute Camera

Download

Are you unhappy with the way the camera behaves while you run, fight, ride a horse or swim? Absolute Camera not only changes the distance and angle of view, but also provides dozens of fully customizable options for positioning the camera during various Geralt activities. In the video above, you can see how flexible camera setup becomes.

Download

If you want to diversify the weather conditions in Novigrad and its surroundings, then this recently released mod will help you. It greatly improves the fog and rain animations, and also adds a lot more snow falling on the Skellige Islands. In this case, you can always turn off certain innovations using console commands specified on the mod description page.

Download

Want to capture some unforgettable action shots of Geralt? This mod will allow you to freeze time, then move the camera in three dimensions to take beautiful pictures. There is also a switch that allows you to make Geralt invisible (useful if you are taking pictures of the environment and nature), and an option thanks to which you can fill in fog, or a slight haze to give the pictures even more atmosphere.

HD Reworked

Download

If you are in pursuit of prettier, sharper, more detailed models and textures, please your eyes with this mod. Rocks, trees, roofs, floors - everything was sorted out, improved resolution, brightness, and, apparently, this is just the beginning.

Download

Are you craving to see the game in a brighter, richer light? The mod removes the bluish tint from the game, and adds some light adjustments to give the game a truly fabulous look.

Download

The kingdoms of the North, especially Velen and Novigrad, are rather dirty places, full of clay and dust, and therefore it is almost impossible to take decent screenshots in these areas. But now you can wipe your game camera like a professional photographer. The No Dirty Lenses mod removes drops of water and dirt from the screen, but when diving or in the rain, these drops reappear.

More blood

Download

The Witcher 3 is good. Even gorgeous. But what if the game was more like Tarantino's films? The More Blood mod adds literally liters of blood to the game. Now Geralt is constantly getting dirty during battles, his swords are always splattered with fresh blood, and from demons it naturally pours in buckets. Are you ready for a bloody adventure?

Download

If you have a powerful graphics card, why not use its capabilities to the maximum by increasing the draw range? The open world in The Witcher is impressive in scale, but it looks many times more impressive with a drawing several kilometers ahead. The mod has many settings where you can set a specific drawing distance. But be careful - game performance may drop if you set all settings to maximum and send to Novigrad (but this depends on the capabilities of your PC).

Download

The mod falls into the same category of "not everyone will pull." More Shadows adds dynamic shadows to all lights in the game. Torches on the walls now cast shadows directly below them, and huge braziers in cities will become the source of all kinds of shadows on the cobbled streets. Guardians walking with torches will also get dynamic shadows. And if you have problems with the display, then there is an alternative version of the mod that removes some of the shadows.

Vampires have no shadows

Download

It's almost like More Shadows, but with a few differences. With major differences, to be honest. NPC vampires, as befits these creatures, no longer cast shadows, even when walking in the sun! Creepy, but effective.

Mods that completely change the game

These mods make large-scale changes to the combat, alchemical and other systems of The Witcher 3.

Download

Are you missing a variety of weapons and armor? This mod makes other characters' equipment available, such as Imlerich's great mace and a few others. Geralt can get it through merchants or make it himself. New blueprints in stores will allow you to get even more weapons, and also do not forget about the upgrade of relics.

The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition

Download

We recently wrote about this mod: it is a complete reimagining of The Witcher's combat system. The main innovation is the removal of auto aim. Now Geralt no longer jumps from one enemy to another like a pinball, but hits only where you direct him. This means that you can prepare a blow and sharply go behind the enemy's back or break through his shield.

This is a major change, but it is far from the only one in TW3EE. It also adds new animations, new parrying methods, as well as new types of preparation for strikes at a distance. Each attack can affect your hero - there is a possibility that Geralt will get out of the next brawl with a broken arm or leg. These effects are directly reflected in the leveling, alchemy system and equipment of the hero.

If you've been through New Game + a few times already and have seen everything The Witcher 3 has to offer, then this improved version will be a great reason to re-install the game. It is advised to put the mod on a "clean" version of the game, after which you can safely install additional modifications.

Download

Ghost Mode is no less ambitious than Enhanced Edition however the changes are more graceful here. He does not abandon the foundations of the original, but only polishes all the little things that required edits. For example, you can no longer find expensive plates on the shelves of a poor man, all the ingredients have weight (but you need fewer ingredients for alchemy), and simple equipment has become more powerful and useful. Typos in item descriptions have also been corrected, enemies have received new bonuses to armor and stamina limits, etc.

If you think that The Witcher 3 requires a complete overhaul of all systems, then the Enhanced Edition is waiting for you. If you think that the game just needs to be polished and balanced (which the modders have been doing for two years), then feel free to install Ghost Mode.

And, of course, put the mod on a "clean" version of the game, and only after that add the rest of the mods to your liking.

Everything new is well forgotten old

Why is this modification needed?

Tired of plain, boring and downright ugly gambesons that turn a great monster slayer into a wretched thug? Perhaps this is not the first time you play the game and even the sight of the witch's armor does not make you happy anymore, or you just want something new? So the user under the nickname Holgar96 wanted to, so he created a modification Witcher 2 Gear replacing textures for over 80% of armor, gloves, boots, pants and even sword scabbards on the versions found in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings! Vran armor, Raven armor, Seltkirk Kaedwen breastplate ... If these names make you feel nostalgic, download this mod and enjoy!

What will change after installing the modification?

In fact, a lot will change. First, let's be honest, most normal armor in the third Witcher - unremarkable retextures stretched over the same source. Against the background of the second part, where each armor can be called unique, they seem ... disappointing, or what? The author of the modification replaced more than 30 copies of the witcher's uniform: 20 armor, four pairs of gloves, five pairs of pants and six pairs of boots were "added" to the game. Moreover, all substitutes are fully compatible with New Game + and does not affect the appearance of non-playable characters. File modTW2Gear is the main one and is directly responsible for changing the appearance of the armor. File modTW2Gear_Icons is optional for installation, but it changes the icons of items in the inventory and helps to better navigate the equipment.

How do I install the mod? Possible problems

The contents of the archive must be moved to the MODS folder located in the root folder of the game. For owners of a licensed steam version of the game, it is on the way disk / Steam Library / steamapps / common / The Witcher 3... If you have never installed modifications before, you will have to create this folder yourself. The modification is friendly to any files that change the appearance of witch armor and the balance of ordinary armor, but I think it is obvious that installing or having other mods that affect the design of simple equipment is not welcome. Due to the lack of the author's ability to work out the interaction of Geralt's hair with armor, the witcher's long patches "fall through" into the textures of some specimens, but this is not fatal, believe me.

Attention!!!
The current version is perfectly compatible with patch 2.1 (2.2 is being tested). Merging with TES (The Enhancement System) is no longer necessary, only with Rewards.
The mod is focused on giving the relic armor in the game a lot of vitality. So that the player does not want to part with them. To do this, I had to literally recreate them from scratch, add the appropriate attributes and the ability to pump. The scripts were not touched, so there will be no problems with installation and removal.

Manual installation:
1.Download and unzip.
2.Copy the mod folder to the Witcher 3 / Mods game directory.
3.If you want to install a Russian-language patch (unpack the archive, drop the file into the Witcher 3 / Mods folder).


Russian-language patch available: Download
Copy to mod folder.

Installation using Mod Manager:
1) Download one of the options, install the mod.

If you want to get a complete picture of fashion, I advise you to start new game, but in general it will work from any save.
I recommend using this mod in conjunction with. If the game does not start after installing the mod, an error pops up at startup.
1. Go along the path: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt \ content \ content0 \ scripts \ game \ behavior_tree \ tasks \ hacks and delete the btHack.ws and btTaskMaintainSpeed.ws files there.
2. Install Witcher 3 MOD Scripting FIX: link. Just put the mod0000_0TelemetryKeyword folder in the Mods folder.
If you use a lot of mods, conflicts are possible. If they occur, then you can try using Script Merger- a tool for merging scripts, it can help solve the problem.

Introduced into the game are 2 absolutely unique sets of relic armor. You can get them by putting together the corresponding kit parts.

Developed Legendary armor, obtained from merging two Grandmaster sets. This armor becomes even more powerful. Too bad I had to use vanilla models. But there is a choice between medium and heavy options.

Changes affected all types of relic armor, including Vanilla, Ophir and Wedding Dress from the DLC " Hearts of Stone". A complete set implies the presence of the actual armor, pants, boots and gloves.

All types of relic armor can be upgraded according to the following scheme:

  • Superior level
  • Great
  • Workshop
  • Legendary (armor is indestructible).
To pump relic armor, be it the Armor of the Witch Hunter or the Armor of the Great Sun, blueprints are needed, available either as a reward for completing a quest, or as an accidental find among contraband. We'll have to go in search of treasures. At the highest level, the armor becomes "eternal".

As for Shiadal's armor, Thyssen's and Shadaal's armor: in order to get a blueprint for each subsequent improvement, the old set must be “scrapped”. And keep in mind, here every time you need new level player. All other blueprints are scattered around the world.
New / changed kits and an approximate scenario for their upgrade:
Ophir Armor and Wedding Dress - Joanna's initial set, further processing is needed (Ophir Crossbow and Sword included).
Shiadal's Armor is a quest reward; to receive blueprints, give it for processing.

From the author.
This is my first attempt at creating a new armor. The work was hard, so I would gladly accept any feedback, especially positive. Express your thoughts.
In the near future, the integration of all types of relic armor from the HoS DLC is planned.
