The Feline Armor set in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt caters to players who favor fast-paced combat styles and high critical hit damage. Tracking down the scavenged diagrams across Novigrad, Velen, and Skellige allows Geralt of Rivia to continuously improve his light armor setup. Mastering the locations and upgrade requirements ensures your Witcher remains lethal against increasingly difficult encounters.
Finding the Basic Cat School Diagrams
The journey for the initial Cat School diagrams begins around Novigrad, specifically inside the hidden caverns beneath Temple Isle. Players must navigate coastal cliffs and use the Eye of Nehaleni to clear illusory obstacles guarding the entrance. Defeating the subterranean golem and retrieving the notes sets the foundation for Geralt’s high-mobility combat gear.
In addition to the main armor pieces, tracking down the steel and silver sword diagrams requires visiting specific ruins throughout the region. Locations such as Drahim Castle and Est Taiyar harbor these essential blueprints behind simple puzzles and destructible walls. Collecting every starting piece yields significant attack power bonuses tailored for aggressive light-attack playstyles.
Upgrading to Enhanced and Superior Gear
Upgrading the Feline set to Enhanced status takes players across various landmarks in Velen and Novigrad. These diagrams are tucked inside abandoned manor houses, ruined towers, and coastal caves guarded by mid-level monsters. Crafting these intermediate upgrades boosts your elemental resistance and attack percentage stats noticeably.
Superior Cat School gear requires higher character levels and venturing into more hazardous territories across the map. Players must search dense forests in Velen and secluded island vaults in Skellige to secure the blueprints. This tier substantially boosts stamina regeneration rates and critical strike chances during intense sword fights.
Mastercrafted and Grandmaster Upgrades
Reaching the Mastercrafted tier demands traveling across Skellige to locate diagrams hidden within ancient fortresses and coastal ruins. You will need the services of master craftsmen in Crow's Perch and Novigrad to forge these high-level items. Mastercrafted gear provides supreme combat attributes necessary for tackling end-game boss fights and high-level hunts.
For players exploring the Blood and Wine expansion, the Grandmaster Feline set represents the absolute peak of light armor customization in Toussaint. Unlocking this ultimate tier provides unique set bonuses that further empower backstab attacks and critical strike damage. Completing the entire collection turns Geralt into an unstoppable whirlwind of precision sword strikes.
