Summary

Hunting monsters is tough, even for someone like Geralt of Rivia.

Many of the magical creatures that roam the world can’t be reasoned or bargained with.

They’d much rather raze defenseless villages and tear the common folk apart - limb from limb.

With those things in mind, here are the best sets.

Plus, it gives the wearer a significant boost in Vitality.

Unfortunately, you will need to craft all the armor yourself, and finding the diagrams takes some commitment.

The result is worth the effort, though.

And you’re free to do so by purchasing it from Bram in White Orchard.

The Witcher 3 is such an open-ended game that no two players will have the same experience.

That being said, many would argue that The Witcher 3 did a better job with Nilfgaardian armor.

This free DLC armor set allows you to step into the shoes of the Black Ones.

Should you wear this set, you’ll receive a respectable boost to all forms of damage resistance.

Much like the Nilfgaardian set, the Skellige set mostly boosts Geralt’s defensive capabilities.

Aside from roleplaying, this set willhelp inexperienced Witchers get the hang of combatduring their lower levels.

15Kaer Morhen Armor

Kaer Morhen is the stomping ground for most of the Witchers in the game.

Built by the School of the Wolf, many great and famous warriors call this ancient castle home.

Geralt of Rivia falls among that number - after, he’s called the White Wolf for a reason.

As proof of his affiliation, he sports this dazzling piece of armor.

Geralt wears Kaer Morhen’s chest armor right from the start of the game.

This medium leather chest piece offers decent protection from most forms of damage.

It also looks great and is part of Geralt’s signature costume.

The Kaer Morhen armor will get outclassed very quickly unless you upgrade it over time.

However, the Critical Hit Chance bonus that the gauntlets grant is very welcome.

The defense bonuses the rest of the set granted aren’t too bad, either.

These gauntlets are must-haves if you want to make a build specializing in Combat Skills.

Once the next-gen update was implemented, it’s been sitting in Yennefer’s Room in Vizima.

Known for its intricate elven design and craftsmanship, this armor set provides exceptional protection and combat bonuses.
