Thanks!

Weird that it's in Polish. Guess I'll accept it and hope the entire quest isn't in the wrong localisation.

What's weird is that it's not just in Polish, it's in DEBUG, which is the note that the quest designer writes before it goes off to story to be rewritten in Polish, then localized to English. I'm assuming you are playing in English?

Anyone else here having this bug? The notice should appear on the noticeboard near Gran'Place in the city.

Very strange bug, I may be sending you some questions so we can figure it out for the patch, do you have PMs?

It's a cute quest though, I hope you enjoy it.

Holy mother loving alchemy build is insanely good with mutagens now. The mutagen that increases your attack power according to your toxicity level has me hitting for over 8000 damage a pop it takes massive chunks out of any enemy.

Does that one count decoctions? I know some effects consider them to be "reserved" toxicity and not real toxicity.

One thing I really like about the DLCs is that I'm back to wielding proper named swords instead of Mastercrafted X Sword. Iris for humans and MOTHER loving AERONDEIGHT for monsters (HoS spoiler for the first, BaW for the second)

It would have probably been a better idea to release the patch a week before the expansion or something.

There's a joke in this expansion that references Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom", so a Leeroy Jenkins gag is positively contemporary.

So far I'd say that Hearts of Stone was a better single questline, but there's so MUCH of Blood and Wine and it makes me very happy.

I think we can officially declare Witcher 3 a Perfect Game.

Yeah I have PMs, I'd be happy to answer any more questions. The notice to the right of the one highlighted also had the same thing, but the rest of them were fine.

This is postgame content canonically fyi. I think? Hearts of Stone could be whenever ( haven't touched it yet so who knows ), but this is meant to be an end to Geralts tale.

Hearts of Stone is in the middle because One of the wishes you can ask for is to make Grimm tell you how to get the good ending.

I've finished both Hearts of Stone and the main game. Main game wise, I've finished ALL the contracts and all the sidequests.

My question is, where can I find a troll to kill so I can get a troll mutagen for my troll decoration? I swear trolls seem to just be limited to quests and I had hope with the changes the patch made I might finally get a troll mutagen?

Vague location spoilers for Blood and Wine also accepted.

I swear by the heron, the troll decoction is quite useless on deathmarch. It's nice that you regenerate outside of combat, but in, you barely tick (do you at all?). It would make sense if it helped you early in the game, but at the point where you can get it, you find so much food that it's irrelavant.

Have you been to the hostile troll's cave at Kaer Morhen?

There are trolls that are hostile right off the bat. I think they can drop the mutagen, I didn't kill any trolls you can talk to but ended up being able to make the decoction. The succubus and doppler ones were the only ones I was locked out of.

There's a respawning one in south-east Velen, near Crossroads marker. There's a bridge with bandits under it on first visit to it, but a troll on subsequent visits. Farmed it for livers, not sure it drops the mutagen though, it's pretty low-level.

Running into a bug with the race portion of the tournament. As soon as the segment starts, controls are frozen. Can't move or get off the horse, though I can still move the camera and cast signs. Going back to earlier saves doesn't work either. Anyone know a workaround? On PS4 if that matters.

Tell your friends we're coming for them

I haven't started toussaint yet but I am checking my bugged stuff hoping some are fixed. The sword and perfidy one isn't, but the wolven armor schematics at the kaer morhen tower are! Sorry if someone else mentioned this.

If you are on ps4 and couldn't get the first schematics because of a bugged chest, you should go back and get them. There's a great little addition that makes me sure it will be there for you.

For those who didn't get stuck, a spoiler of the addition: they reloaded the chest and added a skeleton in front of it with a lv 17 silver sword named Pang of Conscience with good bonuses, and a Letter of Apology :kimchi:

We're all doomed
The practice race worked fine for me, although I have not attempted the real tournament yet. I decided to let the excitement build for the possibility of doing two of my favorite things in The Witcher 3, crossbow shooting and horse racing. I was also immediately suspicious that Vivienne is a vampire when the goober knight started talking about her strange behavior, so I'm kinda hoping there's another explanation.

Kopijeger

Started out a "Blood and Wine only" game. Geralt gets a quest to find schematics for Mastercrafted versions of Witcher armour. For some reason, he has the diagrams for the lower levels of Feline, Griffin and Ursine, but none for Wolf, meaning that he cannot make Mastercrafted Wolven armour unless the player retrieves the lesser plans in-game. Is this really intended behaviour?

Also, the quest involves going to a ruined "Bastoy prison". This is a surprising reference - what prompted a Polish developer to reference a Norwegian prison in a game set in Fantasy Provence?

I know that Blood and Wine is set after the main story and thus meant to be played post-game.

When is Hearts of Stone meant to be taken on? Post-game before B&W or some other time during the main story? Can't work it out, atm.
