Crafting plays a big part in The Witcher 3, as you constantly need to improve your weapons, armor, and equipment in order to keep up with the challenging world. In order to craft improved versions of equipment in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, you need crafting diagrams.
While Geralt starts with a few basic crafting diagrams already learned, there are a huge number of crafting diagrams that can be found or bought from merchants in TW3. In this guide, we will present you with the locations of all the crafting diagrams in The Witcher 3.
Crafting diagrams are essentially divided into four categories in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. The places where you can buy these specific category diagrams will differ, so you need to know all the possible merchants that sell these diagrams.
The Witcher 3 Weapon crafting diagrams
These weapon crafting diagrams can be found as loot or bought from blacksmiths around the world of TW3. In order to craft some of the best swords in TW3 for Geralt, higher damaging crossbows, and special bolts, you need these weapon crafting diagrams.
We have compiled a list of all the weapon crafting diagrams available in the base game as well as DLC expansions of The Witcher 3
