Crafting reliable gear is an absolute must in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and while each set of armor and weapons has something to offer, not all are created equal. Some sets stand above the crowd in stats, and others certainly make even the most fashionable mummers jealous. However, The Witcher 3's next-gen update offers an armor that boasts the best of both worlds.

The Forgotten Wolves' School Gear is a level 20+, three-tiered armor set inspired by Netflix's The Witcher series, allowing you to not only squash monsters as if you were Henry Cavill but also look just as fabulous. And who doesn't want to be as fabulous as Henry's Geralt?

How To Find The Forgotten Wolves' School Gear Diagrams

There are two major steps to completing the diagrams as they split into two locations. You do not have to have completed either of these in any order, but both must be completed to craft the gear at all three levels (standard, master-crafted, and grandmaster).

Completing The In The Eternal Fire's Shadow Quest

In order to get the "first" part of the diagrams, you must venture to the Devil's Pit and complete the quest "In the Eternal Fire's Shadow" that awaits you there. Once the final creature at the end of the questline has been defeated, you'll be gifted a part of the diagrams from their original creator as a thank you for your services.

If you haven't already found the location of the other diagrams - which is likely for a standard playthrough's leveling - you'll be given a Treasure Hunt quest to find the second half of the diagrams. If you're getting restless for the rest of the diagrams, don't worry. The "In the Eternal Fire's Shadow" questline is the longer and more tedious majority of your crafting journey.

Searching The Bookshelves of Kaer Morhen

Finding the diagrams in Kaer Morhen requires having unlocked Kaer Morhen by completing the storylines in Velen, Novigrad, and Skellige up to and partially including the quest "Ugly Baby." Simply walk into the main hall of Kaer Morhen and turn left toward the grindstone and the wall of bookshelves.

Climb the ladder to the second level of shelves and follow them toward the end, where you can loot both Osmund's and Vesemir's notes. Reading both will allow you to put the two diagrams together and begin forging the Forgotten Wolves' School gear.

How To Craft The Forgotten Wolves' School Gear

Unfortunately, the struggle to finally have the chance to wear the armor continues past the initial quest and acquiring all the necessary diagrams. CD Projekt RED really likes to make us work for things - especially the cool things.

You'll need to gather all the necessary components to craft each piece of gear, and some of the parts boast necessary and rare crafting materials. The full cost of crafting the set also takes several hundred, if not a little over two thousand gold coins, depending on whether you need to purchase any missing crafting materials. Furthermore, you must meet the minimum level requirements for each tier:

Standard

Level 20

Mastercrafted

Level 34

Grandmaster

Level 40

Nevertheless, the effort is worth it, considering the gear's stats are one of the most impressive in the game to date.

For those seeking a comprehensive crafting material and stats list, please refer to the chart below:

Once your armor is complete, it is imperative that you travel back to the Devil's Pit, provided you chose either the "Good" or "Neutral" ending, and take a mandatory selfie with Kal, the dog.
