How to obtain

Craft

Crafted by a master armorer at character level 34. The recipe consumes the Forgotten Wolven Gauntlets. All mastercrafted and grandmaster diagrams for the set come from the same pair of notes in Kaer Morhen, read during Scavenger Hunt: Forgotten Wolf School Gear Diagrams.

In the books & earlier games

Diagram location

Not a loose scroll: Geralt learns it by reading Osmund’s notes and Vesemir’s note, which sit together on the upper walkway of the bookcases in the main hall of Kaer Morhen (turn left inside the doors and climb the ladder). Reading both wraps up Scavenger Hunt: Forgotten Wolf School Gear Diagrams and teaches every mastercrafted and grandmaster diagram of the set at once.
