Are the levels of Witcher Contracts at all based upon player level?

[JMO]

Suppose I go up to a notice board and get a Witcher contract while I'm at, say level 10.
Now suppose instead I put off reading that notice board until I'm level 25.
Would the recommended level of the same contract quest be any higher in the latter case? That is, is the contract quest in any way based upon my level at the time I pick it up?

I'm guessing not but figured I'd see if anyone knew for sure.

You guessed right; the recommended levels are static.

The levels seem to have little basis on gameplay. Jenny o'the Woods in particular seems much tougher than its level would indicate. OTOH, I've had contacts that the level indicated a tough fight, and were actually pushovers.

I am so glad I am not the only one who thinks this. That contract seriously gut checked me my first time, thinking it would be like the Devil by the Well. Jenny's no joke.

That contract recommends level 10 and I fought her normally at level 5. Must be something with your gear. I also just realized the wiki made the same statement, weird

I also had a ton of trouble with that one the first time. In my case, I think it is because the whole Yrden sign is the one I took longest to master (and frankly is my least favorite).

Yeah. It's no fun when the quest only gives you a tiny bit of experience due to the level discrepancy. I was sort of hoping that the quest level might be tied to what yours was when you picked it up so that you could just not pick it off the board until you were ready to do a contract and still get good experience. Unfortunately that's not the case.
It is basically impossible to play this game and get good experience from all (or even most) of the quests. There are so many of them, that its too easy to quickly be 6, 10, 15 levels above the recommended one.
Not really complaining, mind you. Still love the game.

You can always tell someone who read J.R.R. Tolkien growing up.

Oh that's hilarious. Yes I did read him. All it, Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, all the stuff his son published.

But I had no idea that Tolkien is where I'd picked that up from!
