Corvo Bianco question

[madeOfClay]

I have finished Hearts of Stone and the main quest (Ciri and the Wild Hunt, etc...) I got the good ending.

So, right now, I am playing Blood and Wine, I have completed all the secondary quests (Gwent, witcher gear, etc..) and I have fully restored Corvo Bianco.

Once I finish B&W and start a NG+, can I still have access to Corvo Bianco?

I managed to get my Grandmaster Cat and Griffin gear, same with the swords and I am afraid if I start a NG+, all the things I have in Corvo Bianco will be lost.

Is Corvo Bianco accesible in NG+? Am I wasting gold and time upgrading other witcher gear?


DON'T SPOIL BLOOD AND WINE PLEASE, BUT, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEND WITH MY STUFF IN NG+!!

[dantès]

No, once NG+ is activated.. you start at the beginning of the game [white orchard]. However, you get to keep all your stuff [armor, money, weapons, potions, decoctions, oils, loot etc] -

you have to work yourself back into toussaint, and get the keys to corvo bianco (which is not upgraded/remodeled).

upgrading your estate is over and done with. but you'll be able to start NG+ with your grandmaster armor.. which, with all your skill points, and mutations is very fun. since most of your first playthrough ['wild hunt' {velen, novigrad etc}] you had crappy weapons and armor.

note: any quest related items,, like books, letters, gwent cards will not transfer over into NG+

Wait, my fully OP Nilfggard deck will not be transfered on NG+? I start from zero again in Gwent, with a basic deck?

Okay so, if I managed to have all the Witcher gears upgraded to Grand master, all those armors will be with me in NG+?

What about my alchemy lab, my Roach gear?

Did you know Roach is a female horse? I didn't know....

[dantès]

Gwent is quest based progression...you win cards from playing certain players during certain quests.. so in NG+, all quest based items (with the exception of the aerondight sword) will be removed from your stash/inventory. You'll start NG+ with a standard deck.

All your grandmaster armor sets will transfer over into NG+, provided you place them all into your 'stash' before activating NG+.. do not leave them on the 'armor stands' in Corvo Bianco.

NO access to the Alchemy lab in Corvo. you will not have access to this since Corvo Bianco is back to being a morgue as you first encounted it.

Yes, all your Roach gear will transfer over. and I do believe Roach is a male. however, I may be wrong.. There's a quest (I don't want to ruin it) but Roach speaks in a male voice. lol.. can't remember to be honest.

[madeOfClay]

Oooh ok ok, everything will be in my stash before I start NG+.

I say this about Roach because, when I was buying things for Corvo Bianco, Geralt refers to Roach as "her", I thought it was male

There is a quest in which Roach speaks? hmm.... I need to explore more I guess, do you get that quest in B&W?

Thank you for answering my questions dantès

[dantès]

Actually, come to think of it,, I do recall Geralt referring to Roach as a 'her'.. I think when upgrading the stables.. bit confused on the matter. I should Google it lol.

and Yes, the quest where Roach speaks is in B&W. its actually a very funny and interesting quest.

[sinsorrow1]

There's a conversation somewhere in the game where Geralt says he called every horse he owned Roach.

Roach is definitely female in TW3, not that it matters much.

As for Gwent decks in NG+: check the Nexus, there are mods that make regaining all the non-unique cards much easier, by adding them to certain Vendors.
The only "downside" to this would be that this makes it possible to obtain an illegal/impossible deck, i.e. multiple issues of cards which should have a limit of 1 per Deck/Faction.
