Starts the Blood and Wine quest chain that reveals where to search for Grandmaster diagrams.
Lafargue’s workshop in Beauclair, Toussaint.
Lazare Lafargue is the Grandmaster Smith in Beauclair and the entry point for the Grandmaster treasure hunts. Speak with him to begin “Master Master Master Master!” and obtain leads to the diagram searches. The hunts are exploration objectives, not repeatable material farms: collect the diagrams for the school you want, then return to Lafargue with the required materials. Grandmaster equipment belongs to Blood and Wine and is the fifth Witcher gear tier; it is equipable at level 40.
Starting the quest and collecting each diagram are one-time progression steps. You can craft eligible pieces as materials allow, but the diagram hunts do not reset as a farming loop.
Stop the hunt when you have the diagrams for the school and pieces you intend to craft; switch to material gathering or another set only if it supports your build.
