The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has a staggering amount of items and equipment for Geralt to loot over the course of the adventure. The following tables have been organized to cover each type of loot in various categories for players to understand the full extent of the items available to them, as well as all the various crafting and formulae that can be found or purchased. If you’re interested in the properties of an item you haven’t found yet, or want to research the best items to be found, you’ll find the information here.
There are a few general rules you should be aware of before digging in:
Stat Accuracy: As described in the Training chapter, the use of different oils, runestones, glyphs, mutagens and other preparation, affect an item’s base statistics. This may increase the damage dealt by a sword, the type of resistances provided by an armor and the power of your Sign abilities. To account for this, the game automatically calculates those effects and applies them to the spells and items you see in game. The values listed in the following pages represent the base values for a specific item and may vary considerably from what you experience based on the choices you make during your campaign. Still, these values represent the relative strength of each item and represent an accurate measure for comparison.
Leveled Stats: Basic properties of steel and silver swords are increased as you progress through the game; you always receive a variant that is most appropriate to your current level. As a result, higher-level versions may have better statistics than the examples listed here. The exception to this are specific pieces of crafted equipment, which have set level requirements that must be met before you can even use them.
Stacking: Item upgrades like oils, glyphs, and runestones can be combined to enhance your equipment, and in turn strengthen your character build. If you want to make specific signs incredibly powerful, you should use multiple Glyphs focusing on those signs, and drink the necessary potions that increase Sign Intensity.
