I think it was the griffin set at level 8. I'm still wearing it all at level 11.
And the text size, don't forget the text size!
OT: God some of the expressions and emotes in this game are the kind I've never seen in an RPG before. Witcher 3 is another level of RPG. The benchmark going forward.
Txt size is fine for me, but then I a fairly large TV.

Really? Dumping all "usable items" into one place, no matter how wildly different they are, is fine? Nah, it's bad. Potions, oils, bombs, food and drink, books and notes, etc, all on the same tab, it's a mess. Finding that one potion you're looking for is a chore. Needs at least 2-3 more tabs.
It's all about the Ursine armour tho.

I'm not a fan of how weapon scaling works in this game. There are some cool relic weapons but you can get them as level 4 weapons or level 39 weapons depending on when you do the sidequest.
I also plan to get the mastercrafted feline set and either use the starting witcher chest with it or mastercrafted ursine chest. Mixmtaching armor will be fun.

A quick question for people who know what they're doing with crafting as I'm completely new to it.
To craft armour/weapons, when I get items should I be dismantling them down to their base parts or should I be crafting them up? For somebody who is new to these games the amount of "stuff" seems incredible and I have no idea how to approach the crafting.
Thanks.

Right on. Thanks man.
That is unfortunately how the system works for ALL games. It's not limited to CDPR. I have BB and Dark Souls save games in the 19 hour mark for characters that just got to The Hunters Dream and Majula.
A sort system should be there first order of business; having to scroll past a bunch of books and notes to get to my potions mid fight is not fun.
Second, and this is probably not an issue on the PC, but actual navigation of the inventory system is sluggish at best, glacial at worst. Dumping items seems to help, but given that there isn't a storage system and I have been burned a couple of times on getting rid of items "I didn't need" this isn't really a great option for players.
Third would be adding a few more tabs. Why is one delineation "Useable Items?" Books/Notes in with potions and food? What? I'd be fine with potions/decoctions/food in one tab, but why the heck are treasure maps and my 4 copies of Do It Yourself! in there. It makes in combat navigation a chore, combined with the above mentioned sluggishness.
Finally I'd like them to split alchemical and crafting, though the only reason for that is because that tab is just way too huge (sorting might solve this as well).
A few QOL measure would be a "trash" tag on items so that I can autosell them and get them out of my inventory area (DAI does this and it's wonderful for de-cluttering your item space) and not saying I have a new item in inventory screen EVERY time I pick something up that I've seen before or already have 45 copies of.

The way I go about it is I start from the top, work my way down through the "levels", and then work my way up again. Check what I need to craft the sword/whatever, check if I can craft what I don't have, otherwise check if I can get the parts for crafting those parts by dismantling other stuff, etc. I never craft anything until I need it.

1) If you are on PC, there is a mod for the camera. (Though the FOV change applies to both the Witcher sense and the regular camera).

Sorry, i know, thanks for that. Was just me trying to be sarcastic. Resetting my inis didnt help, going back to a old savegame works. Though that save i dozens of hours old, wont be using that.
I've got the Superior Ursine diagrams but need them Enhanced Diagrams first. Where to get these then?
In some ruins and remote location all over Skellige. Good hunt!
(If you really wanna go the easy way, find a merchant with one of the Treasure Map OR the cheap way, go on youtube. I'm pretty sure it's already all on it)
I'm encountering enemies 3-5 levels above me and having no problem dealing with them. As long as you use the correct tools (check bestiary for weaknesses or just use common sense, or: Ard versus flying creatures, etc...) you shouldn't have a problem.
The combat takes some getting used to, fighting groups is the hardest to learn. I concentrated on practising quick target switching and rolling/dodging before anything else, now I can finish off most groups without taking a hit (B&BB). The trick is to approach every fight with caution. Dodge in hit and dodge away. Use the right signs, clump enemies together for CC, let them come to you over charging in, don't get greedy with your combos or they'll punish you with counters, etc...
I really recommend taking some time to actively learn each mechanic. Combat has become so satisfying and fluid since I did that.
Potions and oils are found in the usable items tab.
I'm only level 6. Just met Keira. Not upgraded a sword aside from adding a rune, and I refuse to wear the clown armour so I'm still using the starter kit (although I did find an upgrade for it).

Loving this game thus far! The setting is beautiful and there's just so much content you'll be satisfied for quite a while. Still haven't even beaten the main story line yet, though I think I'm close. The story has been awesome as well.
Loving the armor as well. I'm lvl 27 with enhanced (lvl 22) ursine armor and it looks great. This is definitely one of the best games I've ever played.
That battle at Kaer Morhen against the Wild Hunt was incredible awesome! Loved every minute of it, but Vesemir *sad*.

Anyone know what the highest saddle is and where you can possibly get it from? I've got the Superior Cavalry Saddle (70 Stamina), but haven't seen anything higher.
IGNI to keep his health from regenerating+ bombs like grapeshot to take bigger chunks faster. you really cannot relent once he starts regenerating. Might just be too low level.
Use the green oil that gives you a boost in agility I belive and use the mind control Sign then judt keep hacking at him.
Even after you defeat him he comes back for obe mote time after the cut scene.

It just comes down to attacking him quickly enough to beat his regen. Gotta get his attack pattern/rhythm in. Dodge-attack-attack every time he lunges at you, basically. And quickly Quen up again if you get hit. Also, make sure to apply the correct oil to your sword. Pretty sure I was also around lvl 4, maybe 5, when I beat him, and I'm playing on Death March. I did already have the Viper silver sword though, definitely helped.
EDIT: Ah, some good tips above too.
Read almost any of TW3 threads and you'll likely find quite a few posts referencing this.
Try rolling back the drivers if you have an nvidia card, that seemed to fix it for me. Since 1.03 and the roll back I've not had a single crash after 10 hour or so play time.
You can also try:
Use full screen mode only.
Set frame rate to unlimited and use an external tool to limite frame rate (search for Durante's PC gamer Witcher article).

Where can i find a blacksmith that can craft the Griffin Swords?
Ahh, yes, does the mind control stop the regen?

had that kind of problems but not with that frequency..i started getting it less when i stopped using galaxy..don't know if I'm just imagining it though
How do I even read
Does that mean that the ones Elsa sold are avaible after she left or are that generally new cards?

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
What are the fixes?

south-east corner of oxenfurt
EDIT
h,didn't noticed the 1.04 patch..downloading nowFinally going into Novigrad, such a beautiful area after you cross the Pontar.
Oxenfurt didn't have much to do, at least not yet. I managed to jump into two areas that were walled off, and it's pretty obvious there's going to be big quests taking place there. I looted one and got some higher level diagrams and better potions. I also managed to glitch myself into the academy, nothing interesting though.

Random thoughts about game.
I feel an uneasiness whenever i cross the swamps. What have i done? I love this feeling.
After doing quests for hours inside the walls of novigrad i was feeling claustrophobic. It was so good seeing the countryside again.
This game needs a hardcore mode. With drinking potion animation and old style alchemy. And no automatically drawing sword.
My favorite songs from the OST are:
Hunt or be hunted
The song of the sword dancer
Ladies of the woods
Silver for monsters
Steel for humans

When you run across a named quest not given through the noticeboards, does it have to be done there and then, or can you come back to it?
Got one where I was supposed to escort some guy on a walk along the docks, but it culminated with an encounter against enemies more than twice my level
IIRC you have to read the maps. Then the quest activates and Geralt might grunt about something.
Have you tried this too?

Has anyone found a good guide for where to find the Griffin armor' upgrade diagrams? I'm all about side stuff in this game, but I'm too lazy to do that part myself.

There's not even an eta, is there?
Certification takes time.
Maybe this is CDPR feeling all guilty because lots PC gamers thought they don't love them anymore. So they are patching their relationship with us up.
HA!
I've got 1.02 installed?
