The Witcher 3 Wolven gear: How to get all Wolven armor and Wolven sword locations

How to complete the Wolven gear sets.

The Witcher 3 Wolven gear - or Wolf school gear - set was introduced as part of the post-launch DLC for The Witcher 3.

It's a medium armour set and one that is a fairly good at all things, making it good for those who like to mix up their play style.

Many of the diagrams are found with Kaer Morhen, and unlike the other armour sets, you don't need the Mastercrafted items in order to craft the Grandmaster items.

The Witcher 3 has a vast array of different armour sets to wear. While many of these can simply be found lying around the world, the most powerful items must be crafted using diagrams you can find out in the world. The best armours are often the Witcher School gear, each of which has a quest line associated with it.

While you can always follow the quests themselves, you can also just go and pick up the diagrams anyway.

If you're looking for more assistance, our Witcher 3 walkthrough can help.
