Level 4 and just enter Velen. . All of the question marks I go to end up being like warewolfs and level 10 dragons 
I did all the tasks in white orchard so am a bit confused
I did all the tasks in white orchard so am a bit confusedDamn, feel like I should've been doing more of the main quest a while ago, you get insane items left and right, if I hadn't gotten Griffin gear every single item I had would've been replaced in an hour and a half. Not that it'll matter come 4 levels anyway.
Curious, has anyone gotten an Assassin's chest piece? I have the other pieces of gear and they look pretty nice, would love to see the chest that goes with it.

Yeah, there will be points of interests with monsters with higher levels that you.
Follow up the story line quests for a bit, do side quests (of similar levels to you) and you'll level up to fight bigger/badder monsters.

Ok just did this quest and no Thunderbolt recipe at the crate where the guy got his. Might go and ask on Reddit.
question about the Gwent: Big City Players questline.
I am trying to collect the Ciri card for my card collection and apparently its part of the Gwent: Big City Players questline. I already finished this quest though without getting the card. When I talk with the npc that you are supposed to play for the card there is no option at all to play gwent.
Am I bugged? Is there no way for me to get this card at all?

Well FUCK! guess i'll be missing that trophy on my first run. K

I guess i'll be missing the trophy to collect all Gwent cards as i didn't get a chance to win B

This game has a lot of missable trophies, but the real problem is that it's lengthy.
Making the marking of locations the default setting was a mistake. People are relying too much on then instead of going out by themselves being impressed and surprised by things.
You need to progress in the storyline.

Thanks! I think the main quest has a 'recommended level 7' so I'm trying to buff up before going onto the bloody baron quest or whatever is next!

I wish there was a Witcher app that let me play gwent on my phone or tablet using the cards I have in the game. I would even pay money for such an app.

Good-bye Novigrad, time to go to the Isles.
Here's a look at the city made by me:

Best watch in 1080p. If you like, subscribe too.

Sounds about right? I donno, the game lets you move at any pace you want to because there's so much to do.
I'm nearing 45-50 hours at this point, and I haven't been to Oxenfurt or Novigrad.

Anyone know where the blacksmith is located in Valen? My sword is in desperate need in repair.

Those of you complaining about the way gear looks... Find a Witcher set as soon as you can. I just got the "Cat" set and I look so much cooler than I did before, and am significantly more powerful.
Witcher sets are also upgradeable so they can last you through the whole game.

Weapon/armor downscaling- wow I didn't even know this was a thing in this game. I hate it, and won't be looting anymore hidden treasures until I'm in the double digits level wise.
I have to legendary tier weapons (Princess Xenthia's sword and Harvall) both of with should be better overall than I have now (lvl 5 and half). I rather collect high level weapons and be able to use them when you reach said level. I guess the devs did this because the lack of a storage system which is a shame.
Pro tip- if you see a guarded treasure and the enemy is RED, leave it until you're that level for better overall treasure.

Hey it looks like you were wearing ursine gloves, boots, and pants with feline chest. Can you show how it looks to wear Ursine chest with feline parts?
Yeah, cat looks really good most of the time. Unfortunately armours with large collars suffer from clipping issues from time to time.
Did you go to all the points of interests in White Orchard and made sure you completed every single side quest? I was level 6 by the time I got to Velen. (I did have the 5% more experience trophy equipped)
Also, you should be able to do level 6 quests and even level 7 if you're good at combat.
Read them once, some has Bestiary updates. You can sell them after reading them once. You will never need them again unless they're quest items in which they'll be in the "quest" inventory rather than general stuff.
How do you even check this?
I'm guessing you're on pc?
No reason to. But they don't weigh anything really.
Is there actually a way to check how many hours you've played? I'm on PS4 and the save doesn't seem to say it.
I did just get to Novigrad too and I'm probably more than 30 hours in.

What's the best way of restoring health if playing on second highest difficulty setting? I'm using food but it's pretty expensive so I was wondering if there were better ways I'm overlooking.
I haven't even been there yet. I'm pretty sure I'm well over 30 hours.
Nope, PS4. You scroll to character and press R2.
Swallow.

Heh.
and lot's Alcohest. Get it when you can. I have like 80
Should also note that meditating is required (cuts down on re-framing)
thanks

Saved a guy from drowners in Velen. 50 hours later I stumble back upon him
Oh man.
to see he and his band have killed a camp of refugees.
Yeah I have about the same. Plus about 40 dust as well.
yup, and also a helpful hint he might not know, swallow(and all potions) and bombs replenish their stock when you meditate, it just uses 1 red alcohest each time.
I killed that bastard on the spot. I had bad feeling about saving him. He didn't look like the type that needed saving, not with his build and what he was wearing.
Where did you find him second time?

some people like to 100% trophies/achievements and don't have 500 hours.
Alcohest is the OP item of the game.

Nope, it uses any strong alcohol. Such as Dwarven Spirit or Temerian Rye. Which are both much more common than Alcohest

How do you have so much dust? (I'm assuming emerald/gem)
Alcohest dust (or whatever it is) I have around 20 Emerald dust tho. Just go round killing wraiths, each one drops emerald dust.
Yo, I need more. Didn't think about it and meditated after practically each fight, now in Velen and am low. Don't seem to have the required materials to craft alcohest. Any easy way to farm them? Or cheap places that sell lots?
Yep level 21 cat gear is 13-14 but I haven't had to change it yet, nothing better so far.

In Velen at level 5 I feel like I'm just stuck 3+ levels below any of the quests I'm picking up
Is there any way to get a discount on blacksmith crafting prices? Finally got that Emerald Dust

Just go around looting in bandit camps etc. I haven't had to make any so far, I basically loot everything I see. Long as you don't get caught by a guard people don't care. I loot houses with people in then and they don't give a damn.
