Witcher gear diagrams
Collect Ursine gear diagrams
Unlocks the Bear School equipment progression through exploration, map leads, and smithing.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect Ursine gear diagrams
The basic Ursine armor diagrams are in the ruined castle on Urialla Isle; upgrade map leads are sold by the Kaer Trolde armorer.
Before you go
- Reach Skellige and travel to Urialla Isle.
- Be prepared for hostile creatures, including a rabid rock troll and sirens.
- Have access to an armorer or blacksmith capable of crafting the relevant tier.
- For Grandmaster upgrades, own Blood and Wine and reach Lafargue in Beauclair.
Farming steps
- Travel to Urialla Harbor and follow the path toward the Trail to Yngvar’s Fang signpost.
- Continue along the cliff path to the ruined castle, handling the troll and sirens as needed.
- Enter the ruin, navigate the interior and reach the chest containing the basic armor diagrams.
- Read the notes found with the diagrams to reveal the sword and crossbow diagram leads.
- Search the revealed locations and collect the Ursine weapon diagrams you want to craft.
- Visit the Kaer Trolde armorer and obtain the relevant Ibrahim Savi maps for upgrade treasure hunts.
- Follow the map quest markers through the enhanced, superior, and mastercrafted diagram searches; visit Lafargue for the separate Grandmaster hunt if you own Blood and Wine.
- Read the documents you collect; they reveal follow-up locations rather than merely filling inventory.
- Avoid starting a diagram hunt without enough preparation for its guarded ruins and caves.
Repeat, collect and use
Diagram hunts are one-time collection steps. You can craft or upgrade further pieces whenever you have the required diagrams and materials, but the treasure locations do not reset.
Common mistakes
- Do not search for every Ursine diagram at the Urialla Isle castle; some weapon and upgrade diagrams are elsewhere.
- Do not forget to read the notes and maps that unlock later leads.
- Do not expect Grandmaster diagrams without Blood and Wine; those hunts begin separately in Toussaint.
When to stop or switch
Stop once you have the diagrams for the Ursine pieces and tier you plan to use; switch to gathering their specific crafting materials before pursuing more diagrams.
