This page contains the locations and crafting requirements of the Ursine Witcher Gear found in The Witcher 3.
Witcher Gear from the Bear School is some of the best armor found in The Witcher 3. It will increase your attack power, crit hit chance, dismemberment, adrenaline, and much more, and can be upgraded into near unstoppable gear.
Ursine Gear Diagram Locations
The initial armor set can be found in Skellige, at the peak of Yngvar's Fang north of Urialla Harbor. You could also collect the basic Ursine Steel or Silver swords from the Ruined Inn near the south-central coast of Ard Skellig or the old fort east of Kaer Trolde, respectively. Finding one of these items will start the side quest Scavenger Hunt: Bear School Gear.

Basic Ursine Crossbow
Head to the bottom cost of the North West island in Skellige (South of Old Watchtower), here is a cave with some level 15 Drowners inside.

Here you can find a skeleton which holds the diagram for the Ursine Crossbow.

Triangulated between Giant's Toes, Yustianna's Grotto, and Kaer Gelen is another set of ruins.
