If you're planning on starting over, you'll want to know which items you'll get to keep and which you won't.
I added bleeding, burning, and poisoning to mine.The Witcher 3's New Game Plus mode is gradually being rolled out. But you must add them – they’re essential.
Note: It costs about £18,000 to add three upgrade sockets to Aerondight – which is very expensive. I had both the old version and the new version in my inventory simultaneously, and could compare them both easily.Īchieve each virtue, then fight the monk on the water. I’ve read stories of Aerondight disappearing in NG+, if you pick up the new one, but that didn’t happen to me. The new Aerondight in NG+ is an upgrade of the previous version although it stops levelling-up when you reach level 100.
So don’t waste your money making the other armours.
You can simply craft it when you are the correct level, and have the diagrams. Note: you don’t need the lower grade Wolven armour to craft Grandmaster Legendary Wolven gear.
The only person who can craft it for you is Lazare Lafargue in Toussaint. You need to be level 90-95 to craft the final Grandmaster Legendary Armour.
What would make the Witcher 3 NG+ better? More content that was only unlocked on a second playthrough? New locations? I’m thinking of like Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2 which had a brilliant NG+ mode. It probably helped with my Death March run – playing NG+. It just gives you a load of items to start out with, and gets you going quicker. Apart from the level cap, there’s nothing bad I can say about NG+. I played NG+ on Death March difficulty to get the Walked the Path achievement and enjoyed every minute of it. It’s debatable whether the new Grandmaster Legendary armours look any different to the previous best armours, but the numbers they show in their statistics are pretty startling. The actual difficulty level chooser decides that. New Game Plus doesn’t affect the game’s difficulty in any way. There is no NG++… Once you’ve completed NG+ you can either start afresh or replay NG+ with an old saved game. So you’ve basically got fifty levels each to play two games of The Witcher 3 – one set of 50 for a fresh start, and one set of 50 for New Game Plus. You don’t earn experience any more after reaching level 100, and items that did level up with you now stop doing that. Anything above that just doesn’t get any higher. The downside, though, is that the absolute level cap is 100. New items are scaled to your level, and new Witcher items (like the Grandmaster Legendary items) are introduced to the game as you progress, allowing new weapons and armour to be crafted in line with the higher level numbers. It must be noted, however, that the game does prevent you from getting too ahead of yourself by requiring you be a particular level before you can craft new items.
Pretty much all weapons, armour, horse equipment, potions, oils, Runestones, Glyphs, and crafting items are kept and carried over in NG+, making it easier for you to get straight into crafting and combat. So if you were level 50 then you’d start NG+ on level 50. You also get to start NG+ at the level you ended the last game on. You get to keep pretty much everything that wasn’t a quest item. The New Game Plus ( NG+) option of The Witcher 3 allows you to load a saved game you made at the end of your first playthrough, and carry over all the items that were in your stash, and that you were wearing, into your new game.
