What's Carrying Over to New Game Plus in The Witcher 3
After the end of the main story of Geralt of Rivia, a fabulous amount of useful items, potions, weapons, and much more has probably accumulated in the inventory. Some of this will be preserved, while others will be lost. If at the end of the story the character's level was less than 30, then it will increase to 30. In the case when the level is already more 30, then it will just be saved. In addition, the inventory will be added one free potion, allowing you to reset all skills and distribute them in a new way.
Things that are transferred:
- All weapons that have been found or created previously, including items witcher schools (there are exceptions, they are discussed in the next paragraph).
- All armor and equipment, including various schools (bear, griffin, etc.). In addition, sets of witcher schools receive a prefix Legendaryimproving their performance. It should be understood that very soon you will have to create new armor, as the level of enemies is increased.
- Minor quest items that can be sold.
- Money.
- Skills (they are not forcibly reset).
- All common items: common crafting recipes, ingredients, food, crafting materials.
- Things in the chest.
- Created potions.
- Bombs.
What does not carry over to the New Game Plus
List of items transferred to New Game Plus is really great, but the list of what will be lost is no less. Some things, recipes and other attributes will have to be obtained again, as well as important information. When choosing a mode new game not transferred:
- All recipes for items from the crafting list (weapons, armor, etc.).
- Any books, letters and other quest notes.
- Trophies received.
- Unique quest items obtained only for completing/completing a quest.
- All cards for gwent.
- Any places on the map visited in the previous game (places of power, points of interest, etc.)
- Some quests.
- Trophies used to strengthen the horse, including those from add-ons.
- All items placed in the vineyard on display.
- Entries in the Bestiary.
Due to the fact that the level and equipment are carried over, it makes sense to go into the settings (after the start of the New Game, in the very first task) and increase the difficulty level of the game, gwent and opponents.
