Hii, i can't access the video. is the url correct ?

Thanks so much for the feedback! 🙏

I second this, everyone should use his formula.

You're welcome :) For early-mid game especially on DM, Gourmet is a real game changer 👍

I get the feeling gourmet is seen the same way as stealth archer in skyrim. Trivialises the game

Its definitely overpowered, almost cheating but obviously not as its a legit ability.

@@GamerGrade yep. The other thing i was thinking is that, basically, no one talks about stages of a build. Clarifying by saying early/midgame doesnt factor into any build when you're finally ready to find ciri, and most builds basically start in the kaer morhan siege

@@GamerGrade also, I'm looking at a challenge run to definitively prove that death march isnt possible without gourmet and quen by banning them entirely. I dont anticipate I'll be seeing yen or triss any time soon

Thanks for sharing these helpful tips! 🍻

The White Orchard merchant sells the Temerian armor, the crow's perch as you mentioned, and there's another blacksmith in the An Craite keep in Skellige that sells the Undvik armor

I went to this merchant, but I had to pay for this armour. Did I do something wrong?

@@robmc-bob2726you have to pay

​@@robmc-bob2726urgent news: I quess the commenter ment "Free DLC", not free armor.

Yeah buying them is more of a personal preference, as i like to be able to implement all alchemy items asap for my builds. Also some formulas (such as Superior Northern Wind) are only available by purchasing . However, for beginners on a 1st run, you can stick with simply looting.

​​@@GamerGradewell, you are correct to say it is highly recommended to purchase all diagrams/formulas at the start since once purchased it is there forever, a little nick on the budget but still very good investment.

​@@GamerGrade😊

honestly true it’s not even worth making them anyway at this point even on the hardest difficulty

Thanks for the feedback and for watching! 🙏

Much deserved! 💯

I'm on my first play through. Just got to level 11. Loving it so far. Just introduced mods. Just a few though. The better looking signs is just so good lol

Because it free to those who already own it on ps3 and ps4

​@@hexravenz8970 ps3?

@@GregHali yeh witcher3 use to be on ps3 before it got upgraded to ps4 and now it getting upgrade to ps5

Thanks for sharing these helpful tips 👍

This comment fucks

Of course, shame they changed it 😩

Hope you enjoy your 1st play through as much as i did! 👌

same

How does one get to the skill tree I haven't even touched this I'm level 25

​@@dunkn8203I think that mutations skill tree is something you unlock during the DLC because you don't have that in the base game just the screen with all the squares which are skills you can unlock.

The perfect time to jump back in! Just be aware they nerfed Gourmet and Acquired Tolerance 😩

i havent tested it myself but i heard if you kill too many cows it actually spawns a powerful boss to prevent farming. might have just been fake news though

You can easily take Euphoria to 4 decoctions. There's a trick. You can use the toxicity boosting perks to activate decoctions and then unequip those perks without losing the benefits of having the decoctions up. The game doesn't deactivate decoctions when your Toxicity limit doesn't match the Toxins you're experiencing it'll just not let you activate anything that'll accrue more toxicity. The only thing you lose is the potions because your toxicity will be maxed out and frankly I don't consider the potions to really be worth it. None of them really have any effects that the perks don't already give you and the only time I'd consider it necessary to use a potion is if you REALLY need a big heal. But even then I'd rather just pop Quen and use the decoction healing combo. But even losing out on potions you can just use White honey and then drink White Raffards. You'll lose the decoctions for the rest of that fight but if you're pushed that far, it's already last resort time. Or you could use the perk that reduces the toxicity cost of potions with adrenaline points. Even if you're max Tox that perk would let you exchange adrenaline for potion usage if you really wanted it. It's also pointless to take the overdose threshold perk IMO when you're aiming for Euphoria because what you can do instead is take Troll, Ehkidna and archgriffin decoctions and then a 4th of your choice. Troll will refill your health overtime outta combat, in combat it'll stem how much health you lose from being overdosed to a slow bleed. Ehkidna will recover chunks of health when you use stamina which will counteract the overdose health loss. And finally archgriffin will take your heavy attacks and expend your available stamina to deal the heavy attack damage PLUS 5% of the enemies health bar, and because this takes stamina, it will refill your health on every heavy attack you land. You don't need a full stamina bar to activate the effect either you can literally spam heavies and just regain health (though it's faster to alternate light then heavy back and forth) So heavy attacks and Signs will both refill health and when combat ends you'll just go back to full anyway. There isn't really a more powerful Decoction than archgriffin as it makes EVERY fight no matter the level difference more than manageable because all you have to do is land somewhere between 10 and 20 heavy attacks (20 being the max but your own blade damage deciding how many it actually takes) and you'll kill the enemy, and troll is super useful for general health regen and ehkidna just straight up makes your non-standard attacks cause significant regen. A fourth decoction of your choice can then be applied for whatever the hell you want and you have a system for making Archgriffin provide massive damage and massive regen, while the other decoctions support it and reinforce euphorias buff And you don't even need to keep the toxicity perk in the slot you just need to turn it on when you're applying your decoctions then take it off again, replace it with whatever other perk you want.

They killed my favorite one smh. Piercing cold WAS the best then they nerfed tf outta it. It used to either kill completely or do a lot of damage, now it can still insta kill but at a significantly smaller rate.

Cause of the witcher ive already bought the short stories slowly but surely ill finish the whole series

Thanks brother! 👍

Thanks Saad Happy New Year to you to bro! 🍻

You are most welcome! Thank you for your feedback and hope you enjoy this amazing game as much as i did :)

Thanks so much for the feedback! 🙏

Gourmet is truly a game changer 👍

Thanks for the feedback and for watching :) 🙏

Facts

You're most welcome! Thanks for watching :) 🙏

Yes its well worth seeking out asap now. 👍

Same with the winter’s blade I think it’s called, the one given by crach

@@bigfoot5725 yeah but its gonna take a while before you can get wintersblade, its good if you get it tough

Take your time, no rush when it comes to this game 👍

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

Thanks for the feedback and for watching! 🍻

Thanks for sharing this info 🍻

Thanks! 🙏

Potion of Clearance is your answer 👍

@@GamerGrade yup but it will ruin all my arrangement, so I will have to think on it😅 Can you please upload a video on best ability point arrangement in witcher 3, it would help me a lot 😄

This will depend entirely on your build. However, I did a guide on ability / mutation synergistics which will help with optimization: PART 1 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9aEh5CnqLu8hGQ.html PART 2 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f96qadp1ttimno0.html

Using Aerondight with Whirl + Severance kicks ass! 👊 Shame they didnt add transmog with the next-gen update 😩

Nah. Transmog makes armor just not matter

Thanks for watching 👍

Noted 👌 Definitely plan to soon but im currently moving home hence the delay, bad timing lol!

Yeah thats a savage nerf, they also nerfed Acquired Tolerance / Euphoria 😩

Enjoy the amazing game and thanks for the feedback! 🙏

You're most welcome :) Unfortunately i just found out they nerfed Gourmet, Acquired Tolerance, and Euphoria 😩

Thats a joke, the algorithm needs to be improved to detect 'real' images and ones generated from a bloody video game 😩

This is correct, bad design choice which still needs to be fixed 😩

Thanks for the feedback 👍

Yes this is true, im not sure why the Kaer Morhen region is locked until then?

@@GamerGrade Its not you can get there really early by just b-lining the main story and skipping side-content

Thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks! 🙏

We love the Witcher! 💯❤

You're most welcome! Enjoy :) 👍

Same! 💯😍

Yeah they nerfed Gourmet hard in the next-gen update 😩

Great tip, thanks for sharing! 👍

Definitely gonna miss 'Top Notch Swords' 😂 Thanks for sharing these helpful tips with your build! 👌

He’s back on the patch 4.01 enjoy!

@@postupworm3587 But only until you buy the Top Notch Swords...

Hey thanks for the feedback and for watching! 🙏 Unfortunately there will be a bit of delay in content as im currently in the process of moving home, but definitely plan to create more Witcher 3 content asap 👍

@@GamerGrade No worries,take your time and settle down first.Real life stuff is more important.

🙏

Yeah it was most definitely OP! But now they nerfed food by around 80% in the update 😩

Yeah you're right, just found out they nerfed Gourmet, Acquired Tolerance, and Euphoria, wtf! 🤔

Gourmet absolutely still is for sure. May of nerfed but it's still amazing.

Gourmet + infinite food from heart of stone dlc makes a good combo

@@pryceice7523 gourmet is outclassed as soon as you start investing some points into alchemy. infinite food is a pretty terrible reward compared to the others. if you're relying on gourmet and food throughout the game you're doing it wrong. there's better ways to heal.

Euphoria's still the best mutation, but it's a lot closer now. Top 3 are Euphoria, Piercing Cold (with the Yrden/Aard build using the new Forgotten Wolf gear, and Bloodbath.

Thanks for the feedback! 🍻

Yeah you're right. There's many viable ways to kick ass in this game, especially if you keep your Witcher gear upgraded + Quen 👍

Take your time and explore side quests etc, there's no rush :) Yes Gourmet is exclusive to the B&W expansion. 👍

Honestly with the Witcher, you can go to Skellige whenever you feel you’re ready, but unless you’re a completionist, you’re gonna have something to do once you’re back in Novigrad/Velen.

Euphoria still does more dmg dan metamophosis. Sure metamorphosis lets you have 5 Decoctions up easily compared to the 3-4 with an euphoria build, but show me the decoctions that makes up for a 150%+ increase in sword dmg and sign intensity

Most definitely OP! 💯

I agree. I think when I boot up the game for the next gen, I will NOT use it. That ability pretty much trivializes death march. That, and building alchemy.

@@Happyfoam-lw3yt the alchemy at least makes sense lore wise and you can temper it to be less outright broken but gourmet is just 1 skill point to be pretty much unkillable to anything that doesnt 1 shot you

Yeah if you're an experienced Witcher, then definitely leave off Gourmet. Alchemy is great, but if you know how to game the systems, then it can also trivialize things, so at the very least leave off Acquired Tolerance and Euphoria. 👍

gourmet has been nerfed. not sure if still broken or not tho.

You're welcome dude! The perfect excuse to sink another 200 hours lol 💯 Hope you're well and Merry Christmas brotha 🍻

@@GamerGrade Cannot wait brother, I have the PS5 but still play the 30 fps Witcher a few times a week haha. Cannot wait until I get to play this upgrade. I hope your well brother n wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year 👌🎉 !! Enjoy brother.

Even 30fps can't discourage a true Witcher fan haha! Hope you and family all have a smashing one :) 😀🎉 !

Thanks for the tip! 🍻

One of the things i don't like as well. They throw in these witcher armors early on but they are located in areas that are close to the end game lmfao

Kicks Ass!

It basically increases Geralt's Toxicity threshold (by collecting alchemy formulas). This then allows Geralt to chug multiple decoctions simultaneously, allowing him to deal far more damage which would otherwise be impossible, as long as you know which Decoctions work synergistically. 👍

Just found out they nerfed Gourmet, Acquired Tolerance, and Euphoria, wtf! 🤔

Yeah massively 😩

Unfortunately they nerfed HP regen from all food sources by around 80% in the update 😩

Does gourmet even exist anymore?

@@reddeadvids1355 Yes it does, but food generates about a quarter of the regen it used to.

I was wondering why it seemed to suck after the update 🤔 thanks for the headsup 👍

Wow I just said that in my comment so it has been confirmed I was just gonna check. Its not a bad thing though to be honest it was super over powered

Yeah they actually nerfed Gourmet, Acquired Tolerance, and Euphoria 😩

Sure i have created a dedicated guide for Wolven Grandmaster here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7WBo7KC2JfFhXU.html Hope that helps! 👍

Thanks for sharing these helpful tips! Yes Delusion (or brain washing lol) was very helpful in many conversations. 👍

Awesome! Merry Christmas :)🍻

Good man 👊 Just be aware they nerfed Gourmet and Acquired Tolerance 😩

Yeah you really need to craft Enhanced or Superior by that point 👍

Ever tried sign build?

@@TheLamealot I have not

@@timothywyatt3269 try it. You basically cast yrden and go full retard with ard and igni. That's all you need to do. And you get your alternative quen to regenarate health.

With the new update Piercing Cold is just as good 👍

Yeah they also nerfed Gourmet 😮

Yeah it was nerfed, still good but not OP anymore.

Unfortunately not.

Hmm not sure as i never used this money glitch 🤔

This is true 👍

He's from the UK like myself ❤

Thanks so much for the feedback! 🙏

The nerf makes a massive difference, about a third of the regen rate 😩
