Crafting Weapons

This page contains information on weapon Crafting that can be crafted in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Geralt can find various crafting schematics and diagrams, which can then be used to create weapons (provided he has the necessary components). Once you have the diagram, you must take it to a Blacksmith who can then craft the desired item for you. Note that only Armorer can craft armor, and Blacksmiths can only craft weapons.

Often times, weapons and armor crafted will be much stronger than those found in the wild, and will have added abilities or increased damage.
