Magical supplies are an expensive commodity in The Witcher 3. Rare runes and alchemical components are two things that Geralt frequently needs throughout the adventure, both for improving his arms and armor as well as for brewing potions.
These supplies can be especially rare in Novigrad, where the very practice of magic is outlawed and practitioners are burned at the stake. This, of course, has created business opportunities that an intrepid halfling chooses to take advantage of. In this short side quest, Geralt can secure the services of this halfling and the stock of magical supplies liberated from slain mages.
Where To Start The 'Hey, You Wanna Look At My Stuff?' Quest
This quest is hidden away at a spot to the west of St. Gregory's Bridge. You will need to travel down the slope and head to the relevant area from that landmark.
There, Geralt will meet a halfling who will offer to sell the belongings of executed mages that he had stolen from their homes. The offer is morally dubious though, depending on how you interpret the situation, it might be acceptable to pay a grave robber for essential items.
You will have two choices.
|
Buy From The Halfling |
Geralt will accept the offer but will be interrupted by Witch Hunters before he can accept. |
|---|---|
|
Refuse |
Geralt will refuse to deal with the halfling, leaving in disgust. The quest will not start if you refuse. |
If you had chosen to buy from the halfling, the Witch Hunters will question Geralt about what their conversation is about. You will have to cover for the halfling and lie about why he ran away to unlock the store.
While the Witch Hunters will threaten Geralt, they will not take any further action. Feel free to lie to them.
Where To Find The Halfling
With the Witch Hunters out of your hair, you will have to find the halfling, which is a simple matter for Geralt. Use your Witcher Senses on a dropped bottle to pick up a scent. Follow it around the corner to find the person in question in a great mood.
He offers Geralt a discount for helping him out and will sell you the magical supplies.
He primarily stocks runes and a small collection of rare alchemical ingredients. He is far from the best vendor, though something is better than nothing.
