Crafting Materials


Crafting materials are items that can be given to a craftsman along with a diagram to make a particular item. Some crafting materials are more commonly used than others, and likewise some are more easily found than others. Crafting materials come from a variety of sources. Some can be found as random loot in towns and caves, while others can only be obtained by killing monsters. Some crafting materials can themselves be crafted from other materials and the right diagram, or purchased outright from merchants.

Thoroughly scanning each area as Geralt passes through is a good way to pick up lots of extra crafting materials. These materials tend to be heavy, so it’s best to keep things like timber, iron ore, cloth, leather, and twine in storage. You tend to pick up lots of these items, and the weight really piles up over time. Rare crafting materials like silver ore, the various meteorite ores, robust cloth, hardened leather, and studded leather should also be kept in storage for future use.
