this is killing the game for me

[Zenkaiboost Kekkei Genkai]

the crafting materials needed for crafting a complete witcher set is giving me cancer, the game does not even tell you where I to find the materials I have to google every single crafting material so i know how to get it

I'm sorry but this is cancer I don't understand what they were thinking

[Zenkaiboost Kekkei Genkai]

once you collect all the diagrams that should be it, you shouldn't need to grind for "crafting materials" for ever single piece of armor, why do i need a monster eye to craft some boots ? that is so stupid

and then once you FINALLY can craft the bloody thing guess what ? you'll eventually need to craft for the upgraded version of the set and you basically repeat the grinding for materials all over again for every piece of armor

and after that you think you're done ? oh no... cause there are multiple upgrade levels for the set, you basically have to repeat the entire grinding process like 4 times cause you'll never have the needed materials , some of which cannot be found except in certain quests

this is just cancer game design at it's worst, it's just meant to waste your time and nothing else

It seems you are not looting stuff as you play. Perhaps you should change your play style a little. Because when I go and craft any gear, I usually have all materials needed for it or I can craft them on the spot from what I have.

Yep. Having materials is never a problem for me, or even something I pay attention to.

My sentiment is the same as Gray and Felix here, if you loot consistently while exploring and just generally what happens to be on your footpath, resources won't be a problem. Not to mention the amount needed is pretty reasonable. With the exception of the Grandmaster set. Still, it's nothing compared to many other games. And on the up side, you won't even have to dismount the horse to loot. Looting couldn't be any more convenient in a game.

I've found that the blacksmith or armourer also sells practically everything non-monster related for crafting too.
No need to look too hard for anything except the monster bits you should be hunting anyway.

Crafting materials don't weigh anything in this game. Geralt sticks it all up his magical butt. There's no reason you shouldn't be looting everything you come across.

I agree with this as well.

I've never had a problem with a lack of crafting materials. Dismantling is great.

the materials I usually will have what's required after some dismantling or crafting it with what I have, its the crowns that usually is the bottle neck for me. An entire set is pretty expensive

LOOT. EVERYTHING. EVERYWHERE.

seriously, everytime i go into a new house or new area i use my witcher senses to highlight every lootable item in sight and take it all!

Really never had to worry about crafting materials, and if i do its because im short an ingot or 2!

Good luck witching!

do you use the loot mechanic and the buy mechanic in the game? ive never once needed to go out and grind for a material. if I dont have a part yet I just play for a couple hours and that typically resolves it. look around more and loot more stuff

no I just didn't loot everything like everyone keeps saying I should do, I thought half the stuff you loot is useless junk , but apparently you do have to loot EVERYTHING in this game

It really is crazy how many components there are, but anything thats actual junk is usually labelled junk :) Dismantle all of your silver junk through a blacksmith to get extra silver ingots, itll help with your silver Witcher swords later :)

You can either sell junk for money, or you can actually dismantle it and get crafting materials. Many merchants also sell a lot of stuff that you need later on, so you might want to stack up on things like rune stone or feathers, get like 10 of each over the course of your play.... until you need them
