Lazare Lafargue

A grandmaster armorer in Beauclair who forges the grandmaster witcher gear in Blood and Wine.

Lazare Lafargue is a grandmaster armorer and smith with a workshop in Hauteville, Beauclair. He learned his craft from the legendary elven smith Tyen’sail, and it shows: few craftsmen anywhere can match his work.

Where to find Lazare Lafargue

Lafargue appears in the Blood and Wine expansion. His shop is in the Hauteville district of Beauclair, the capital of Toussaint, a short way east of the Nilfgaardian Embassy signpost.

Master Master Master Master!

The quest Master Master Master Master! starts from the notice “Contract: Grandmaster Armorer” on the notice board in Beauclair, or by talking to Lafargue himself. He wants the long-lost grandmaster diagrams of the witcher schools, and asking him about each school opens five scavenger hunts:

Bringing him the diagrams from one school is enough to finish the quest, which pays 500 crowns and 150 XP. Every set you find unlocks that school’s grandmaster gear at his forge, and the other hunts can be done afterward.

What he crafts and sells

Besides grandmaster gear, Lafargue can make relic swords, witcher gear swords up to mastercrafted quality and chest armor. He can also dismantle certain weapons and armor for enriched dimeritium ore, and he sells crafting components, weapons, armor, horse gear and diagrams.

Grandmaster gear is expensive, and buying every material outright can run to tens of thousands of crowns. Crafting the components yourself cuts the cost a great deal, and many players fund their gear with Knight for Hire.
