Gold Exploit (Blood and Wine):
Search the abandoned tower at Kaer and loot the skeleton that you find there to get the Pang of Consequence sword. If you now save your game and reload the save the loot respawns allowing you to collect it again. You can either sell the sword for almost 400 Gold in Novigrad, or synthesize it for valuable resources.
Heart of Stone Expansion - Explore:
Make sure you explore as there are plenty of hidden goodies to be found on and off the in-game map. Finding hidden treasure will enable you to get better gear and finding 'Places of Power' will grant you bonus Ability points for your Character skills. The White Orchard side quests are especially good for finding goodies.
Unlimited Money:
This exploit allows you to earn around 1000 crowns per minute. Take the following steps:
1.Find the merchant at Hierarch Square in Novigrad and purchase all of his Shells and Sea Shells. Talk to him again after you have depleted his stock and you will find that he has more to sell. Keep buying as many as you can afford and carry.
2.Take the shells with you and visit the armorer, who is located next to the merchant. Dismantle your Shells to receive Pearls.
3.Sell the Pearls to the armorer until he runs out of money.
4.Meditate for 5 days. The armorer should have 1000 coins again. Sell him more Pearls.
5.Repeat the process as often as you like.
You can dismantle a Shell at the cost of 8 coins for each effort. The Pearl you receive can then be sold for 109 coins. Naturally, this only works during the daytime hours, as merchants aren't around at night.
How to make Money:
- Doing secondary quests is a good way to get cash: Witcher contracts usually have a reward tied to them.
- Selling items you don't use won't make you a millionaire, but it adds up over time.
- Diving and sailing is a great way to discover Smuggler's Caches, which contain treasures that can be sold, or money.
- Guarded treasures come with monsters attached. They're worth the effort, though. The special items found inside can be sold for decent amounts of money.
- There are multiple currencies in The Witcher 3, but merchants only accept Crowns. You'll have to trade the Orens and Florins you collect at Vivaldi's Bank in Novigrad – it's the building with the coin hanging above the door.
How To Import The Witcher 2 Save Games To The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt:
Many gamers are finding it difficult to make use of this process, in fact some are unaware of how exactly it is done. You can check out our guide on How To Import Your The Witcher 2 Saves To The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
- First and the foremost thing, this Import process is supported only with PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. At the start of The Witcher 3: Wild, you may or may not receive a message prompting you to import your saves.
- If you are among one of those who did not receive the message to import saves at the start of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it's because your SAVE GAMES are not in the proper place. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt wants your previous SAVE GAMES to reside in :
"Users[username]My DocumentsWitcher 2gamesaves".
- Sadly, if you ever enabled Steam Cloud Save, they will reside in:
"Program Files(x86)Steamuserdata[userid]20920remote"
- So all you need to do is move them at the expected directory and start your adventure.
How To Disable "Gamepad/Keyboard Detected" Message:
Go to your Witcher 3: Wild Hunt folder, then to "...\The Witcher 3\bin\config\base". Now open the "hidden.ini" file using Notepad. You will see two lines: edit "LockControlScheme=0" to "LockControlScheme=2" and those keyboard/gamepad notifications will disappear once you get back in the game.
Familiar Tattoo:
If you import your save from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, you may find that Geralt has a tattoo. In The Witcher 2, he receives that tattoo during the course of completing the "Hung Over" mission. When he wakes up the next morning with a tattoo, the player can either remove it or leave it where it was. If you import a save file after leaving the tattoo in place, look for the tattoo as Geralt is soaking in his bath near the start of The Witcher 3: High Hunt.
Beginner Tips:
As you begin your adventure, you can keep a few things in mind to make sure that things go smoothly.
- Complete the tutorials. They will acquaint you with the game's combat system, which has changed since the previous game. There's no better time to adapt to the differences.
- Venture off the beaten path and explore. If you stick to the roads, you're likely to miss out on opportunities to strengthen your character, which will mean the required quests are more difficult and perhaps frustrating than they should be.
- Side quests are worth doing. You can gain loot and easy experience points, especially when completing the basic quests available in White Orchard.
- Make sure that you equip and make use of powerful signs in combat, which can keep you from taking damage you might otherwise.
- Learn new potions at every opportunity and refill them often. You can do so by meditating, provided you have Alcohol or Dwarven Spirit items in your inventory. Potions will make your journey much simpler.
Easy money:
Before crossing the Woesong Bridge to leave the town of Midcopse, jump over the fence to enter a grass pasture with some cows. Kill all the cows at that location. It is recommended you use fire magic instead of your sword so you do not have to chase them. Then, meditate for two hours where you killed them by pausing the game, selecting "Meditation", and advancing the time by two hours. This will force the cows to respawn. Kill the cows again, and repeat the process to accumulate a large number of cow hides, as well as meat for healing. Once satisfied, find the merchant near the road next to the cow pasture. Talk to the merchant, then select the "Other" tab from his shop's inventory to find the "Cow Hide" option to sell all of your hides to him. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
Easy "Fist Of The South Star" achievement
You can find a fistfight at the "Inn At The Crossroads" fast travel point on the "Velen" map. Go into the inn to find some men fighting in the corner, and talk to them to participate. When the fight starts, you must immediately hold [Block]. After blocking your oppone
