I'm eagerly waiting for the NG+ DLC, but something caught my eye in the details of the NG+ mode. According to the news, we will be able to keep our items and alchemy formulae in NG+ but all quest items will be discarded. That's a little worrying for me because I just spent quite a few hours hunting down Wolven school gear and its upgrade diagrams all the way to mastercrafted. The diagrams and the gear are a quest afterall so they could be discarded. Do you guys think we'll be able to keep the Witcher gear in NG+?

I'm pretty sure it was said that we'd get to keep all armor, weapons and similar gear. But, I do understand where the confusion could come in since the witcher armors are technically obtained via quests.

The gears aren't quest items, the plans (diagrams) are. So you'll keep the armor and weapons, but likely lose the diagrams.

I read we won't be able to keep our Witcher Armor sets.

Source?

I hope that's not true. It would truly suck for me as I had to dismantle and sell a lot of stuff to get the Wticher sets, as such I have no replacement armors for high levels. Not to mention it would annoy the hell out of all the people who spent hours building their Witcher armor sets.

You will probably need to hunt the diagrams down again to upgrade them even further. MWHAHAHA

Guess that means I'll put all my Witcher Sets (4 versions of each) in my inventory before switching over. :D

I've read that with the NG you start out as lvl 30 if you are lower that that lvl now you will be lvled to 30 if you are over like me lvl36 you would be dropped back to lvl 30. And if that is the case our mastercrafted wolven gear could'nt be worn becouse it's item lvl is 34 m? sucks I think.

No, You are only raised to 30 if you are below 30. You are not reduced if you are above 30.

I hope it is. Anything to extend the amount of time it will take for me to 100% complete this game is welcome. I enjoyed the treasure hunts.

It also makes sense, the Wolven gear is the best gear in the game for pre-endgame play. Post even to a certain point. Starting with the very best would leave little for us to do in terms of Mastercrafting. Including the questlines that go with it.

Dropped back to 30 and our extra skill points taken too?

No, it doesn't make any sense. Seeing as we'll keep our levels if they're above 30, armors you can buy from the shops at this point already offer the protection Wolven gear does, without some extra sign bonuses. Pretty pointless to take something away from us and make us buy it again. Just for us to hunt that Wolven gear again and replace our existing armor with Wolven gear.

Upgrade them to what? Enhanced superior mastercrafted armor?

Nice trolling.

Your level doesn't get lowered to 30 if you're above 30. You get to keep your level if it's above 30, if it's below 30 then you get your level raised to it.

I reviewed both the wolf armor xml file and the wolf weapon xml file (from DLC10) and found they already contain the New Game+ (NGP) specifications.

Base Wolven NGP armor (chest, gloves, pants, boot) = Mastercrafted wolven armor. Also, there are 3 levels of improvement for the Base NGP equipment.

Likewise, the base NGP wolven steel sword = wolven mastercrafted steel sword and base NGP wolven silver sword = wolven mastercrafted silver sword. Also, 3 levels of improvement are available for the weapons.

Further, crafting diagrams exist for all of the above.

Unsure why you think I'm trolling... Simply saying that I look foward to doing the treasure hunts again and the quests that go with unlocking the two mastercrafters in game.

Why wouldn't they simply be increasing the stats on the Witcher Armor sets again? I can't imagine it would be difficult coding. That would be the purpose and reward of making us do those quests again and the reason why they would take away the Witcher Armor we currently have.

Thank you for the info! Glad to hear that is what CDPR is doing!

I may be reading this wrong, but this seems to imply that we either have to track down new diagrams or keep these weapons in our inventory until we've leveled high enough to equip them in NG+. If that's the case, and pardon the noob question here, but how is NG+ all that different from simply starting a new game on one of the regular modes, other than enemies being stronger and tougher? I get that we get to keep certain items like weapons and armor, and I believe we get to keep our potion recipes as well (but do we lose the potions themselves since these are usable items, which supposedly don't carry over?), but I'm just not understanding what else differentiates NG+ other than the higher difficulty.

To quote Marty DiBergi from This is Spinal Tap, "Why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?"

Again, sorry, I've never played NG+ in any game and I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious or generally well-known, but I guess I'm picturing NG+ as the exact same game, but with harder enemies, and where you don't have to do the Treasure Hunts for armor or find potion/bomb recipes again.
