Master Armorers

Master Armorers is a secondary quest in Velen and Skellige about finding someone skilled enough to craft the best witcher gear. Witchers take their equipment seriously, because injury is part of the job, and whenever there is a chance to get better gear, a sensible witcher jumps at it.

The chance comes in the form of Fergus, a dwarven armourer of great renown, and Yoana, a master armourer working at Crow’s Perch. Before they can take on master-level work, though, they need help, and in Yoana’s case that means ingredients from an archgriffin, which ties the quest to Contract: The Griffin from the Highlands. The quest also leads to Undvik in Skellige, where old forge equipment can be recovered.

It is not the most dramatic quest in the game, but it is one of the most useful. Unlocking master crafting is essential for players who want the grandmaster witcher gear from the expansions and the best armour sets in the base game.
