Hearts of Stone quest question

[General Malaise]

Apart from needing crafting supplies, are the original quests just pointless?

I have lots of quests now, but I can't say I'm thrilled about doing them, at level 34, it's just no fun at all.

Is this expansion fine, without bothering with these quests?

Never did any real sidequests in HoS, that i recall. There was one sidequest i did do, with this girl that apparently felt like callin me sour puss or whatever it was, asked me to find Kluivert? well i know Patrick very well, and i know hes already retired, so that was easy.

Outside of that, i think theres only the whole Ofieri guys up in northeast novigrad. If you don't wan't upgrades, enchantments, achievements or anything like that, you can skip.

Everything else was just following the main plot.

OK thanks.

I'll not bother with many more then.

I found that Ofieri story quite senseless, even soulless, by the way. I went through all of it and din't even use those pricy enchantements in the end, for I didn't care about any single one of them.
Now, the main HoS quest is...more than amazing enough alone to concentrate only on it, and forget about anything else which could uselessly interfere.
My other advice would be playing HoS before the base story ending, for roleplaying matters.
Have fun.

Thanks.

A bit too late, as I finished Wild Hunt a few days ago.

Shan't worry about other quests much then. I think theres two sites, that you visited with Keira, but cannot get to in HoS.

There's Wolf Armour in this I understand. I wouldn't mind seeng that if I get crafting materials, and cash for it.

I'd like to see Mastercrafted Ursine, and Griffin(got Cat in this now), but I can't see it happening.

You should be able to finish the HoS quests after, whenever you're in the mood for wasting some time fooling around, sorry, I meant playing... ;-)

Seems some of the ? are new, with enemies.

I did loads yesterday, trying to find Dimeritium, but they were just from Wild Hunt.

Sound some today with those spiders, and with boars.

[Simple Man]

You aware that dimeritium can be made?

You can make the ore, and then use two ores to make one ingot.

Yeah, I made about half the ingots, but still takes a lot of crafting stuff.

I needed 2 ingots for each sword, and 4 for the chest armor.

Skellige usually sells them. If i remember correctly, both the folk at kaer trolde, that armorer up in the castle, travelling merchants and the lot, have ingots.

No. I went there, and several other armourers and merchants in Skellige.

Yeah. There are new ? sites that have Order of the Flaming Rose people at them. You get an achievement for clearing out all of them.

But the real meat of the expansion is the main story line, IMO. The side quests are just there.

Cool. I've got some ghost in Geralt at the minute. I really don't think he would agree to that.

Not entirely sure I'm enjoying this part of the story, but we'll see.

I think one of those Flaming Rose Swords, was +5 on my Mastercrafted Cat Gear!
