No TH-camr has mentioned what I think is the best money farming strategy in the game - and I’m not sure if it’s been patched in the next gen version but I doubt it since it never has gotten much attention. Killing pigs on a farm will give you either ham, or pig hide, and there happen to be three pigs next to the spot where the Runewright sets up that respawn instantly as soon as you walk 10 feet away from them. You can literally get unlimited ham and pig hide from using igni on the three pigs probably 10-15 times a minute. Edit) still works in next gen version!
@ try it if you have access to the Northeastern part of Velen and you’re playing the next gen version. Go to where the Runewright sets up his shop, there are three pigs in a pen right near him, you can hear them making pig sounds. They should respawn after you walk a short distance away after you kill them.
Theres a better spot in brunwich village. Theres something like 10 pigs there. White Orchard at the very start has a pig pen with 5 or 6 pigs in you can farm for money as well . Igni away for your life ! 🤣
Im on my second play through after a 250 hour first. The first point is very valid. I tend to walk to quests around 300 metres ???? away as the crow flies. Come across so many things. I'd also drop custom markers on anything that looked like a building or landmark on my way there. Good way to find random locations on way to destinations.
Correct . I always walk (read run ) everywhere in this game to see what I come across. If its a long distance I use fast travel. I never use roach at all .
White Raffard's Decoction is the best vitality potion in the game IMO. Immediately restores vitality instead of gradually building it. Very handy when fighting large groups of enemies on higher difficulties where seconds count. In particular in B&W dlc doing the knights errant missions. Those strongholds with multiple bandits and guard dogs can be beastly. I use maxed Swallow/ White Raffard's Decoction on the up/down quick use slots and Golden Oriole to cancel Toxicity on the right. Life saver !!!!!!!
Another reason to pick up all the plans for armor upgrades...you have to have the earlier ones to make the higher ones...so it's nice to have the plans on hand when you want the upgraded versions. Each upgrade needs items and those items are expensive. If you can make an armor piece early, make it and stow it in your stash. Otherwise you have to spend a ton to get a complete set made in order to spend a ton and a half to upgrade it.
Best game ever. Give it a fair go and a chance .You cant go rushing into the main quest only or you will get totally destoyed and killed every time because you havent built skills up.
To get money early on there is a spot in white orchard you can farm pigs using igni . Kill them , meditate for an hour rinse and repeat . Its amongst the main buildings next to the river and is a quite small pig pen . . Sell the hides to the merchant near woesong bridge . You sometimes have to barge a peasant out of the way who gets in the way of your wholesale slaughter.
I've played this game a billion times and NEVER knew about the 'auto apply' oils.... wth!!! Thanks for making this video..guess I need to play it again
I’m on my first play through at stumbled into this weird cave and fought a demon witcher named reinald and some demon thing after he died too. Took me about 2 hours to kill him at level 5… maybe should have watched a tutorial first lol
I hate enemy leveling. Because a regular Joe shouldn't be able to take the same damage as a huge monster. Geralt should be able to chop the heads off of most human enemies in one hit.
Trophies are pointless..... Let me explain, most of them offer the same bonuses: 5% XP from monsters, 5% XP from humanoid and 5% more gold. All in all pretty underwhelming. Just keep a monster and humanoid XP boost on hand and change out as needed. The rest are dead weight.
Agree. I'd use the XP boost until build is decent. Then run the gold boost or dismember. Dismember is good on higher difficulty as usually results in one hit kills when it activates. Sell any duplicate perks for decent cash. Some are worth 300 plus coins.
Im on my first playthrough (around lvl 11-12) and going off the path works until it doesnt.... Especially when i was doing barons missions and i was headed to the swamp area and came across some lvl 22 thing (looked like one of the crones and was surrounded by crows) and 2 shot me w a ranged attack that looked like wood style from naruto 😂
Playing new game + after the Witcher 4 trailer, I only just played/beat the game & DLC’s last year. I love the game there’s just sooo much dialogue & zero combat missions that get pretty boring
One thing that a lot of players have trouble with is their first real quest after escaping white orchard, the werewolf quest. He regenerates health faster than you can kill him . Use axii on him to stun him and then give him the good news.
I'm playing again after who knows how long. Do you think there's any problem in focusing on the main storyline and coming back for the side quests and contracts after?
Thank you! Quick question: How do you swing your sword like that in the beginning? (pause) is that a mod or an ability. Re-playing the witcher 3 on PS5. Thanks
@Local-Democracy-Officer much appreciated!!! I figured it out last night. But it doesn't have the range like displayed. Maybe it's the type of sword he is using. Not sure
@@rrj411 You need to visit the Runewright in Velen (comes with Hearts of Stone dlc). He can enchant your sword with Severance to have extra range when using rend or whirl.
Stop babying the newbies. Tell 'em to start with "Story and Sword" if they wanna ease into it and then everything after should be DEATH MARCH! It makes the stakes feel more real and the story more exhilarating.
It's not pointless. It's a time hack. It's literally saving a decent quantity of time if you're playing over 100 hours from not accessing a menu you've entered a million times in a playthrough. At higher difficulty, oils really make a difference.
Playing this game (on PC) for the first time in 2025!!! Whaaaaaatt????.. Omg, the more i learn - the more confused i become!! 🤨😒🙄😬 HEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Keep in mind that turning on auto apply oil will prevent you from getting an achievement/trophy.
which one?
@atomicfps6 The one where you have to kill 2 monsters you have a contract on without using signs, bombs, oils or potions.
@@goldenshoe3378 aaahhh yep
Can I use it after I earned the achievement?
@@warmsnowyes
Still watching this after playing this game for more than 8 years
Only the real Fans 🥳
lol same. Just started my ninth play through over Christmas break.
@@HardyPilgrim how many hours you logged bro?
i have landed in velen recently again ;)
Playing for first time in 2024 on PS5, your tips helping alot.. thanks👍

Turning off mini map was my best move, feels like a different fgame not going/watching the map

after the new gen update my ps4 slim could barely get 30fps but this game is worth it. honestly the heat 15 bucks i’ve spent

Every now n then it sounds like I'm listening to a Skyrim voice over review
I literally bought this like a couple days ago haha. I always wait until they dirt cheap to buy even if its 10 years later

0:38 How did you get your sword to do that!!!!
Thats an enchantment :) you get it at the mill in velen/next to novigrad if you have the hearts of stone dlc
I was wondering why my hp regen seemed like it wasn't as helpful as I thought it was. That shit is weak nerfing it like that.
I always throw a samum at groups of enemies for that dot damage
The Witcher gear is under the Treasure Hunts quests...not contracts. I think you just saw green haha
I just beat the witcher 3 for my first time after starting it 9 years ago? Idk when I first started but it was about then.
This game was onsale on steam did not expect turn out to be that good and i'm
Here looking for some tips😂
Returning to Witcher 3 after losing my mind in Elden Ring and I am enjoying your tips and tricks.
Welcome back to the party :)!
Just starting now in 2025. Thanks for the tips.
I'm playing again after who knows how long.
Do you think there's any problem in focusing on the main storyline and coming back for the side quests and contracts after?
Non
Is the wolf gear quest still bugged
Thank you! Quick question: How do you swing your sword like that in the beginning? (pause) is that a mod or an ability. Re-playing the witcher 3 on PS5. Thanks
It's a skill you unlock in the light attack tree
@bingbongwost5134 thank you! Do you happen to know what skill? i have all of them, and none seem to do that move.
It's the Whirl skill, last or second to last in light attacks, I think. It activates by holding your fast attack button

I’ve just got past the whole Barron botchling thing. How far in the game am I ?
Still very very early I would say
Crazy how thos game looks better than most games out today aged like fine wine. 😊
I am always highly under leveled. But why would I not want to be. The game is too easy if you're not.
Just bought it on ps store
just playing this again after i upgraded my pc, i can't enjoy other game story because of this game
Just bought it on ps4

Auto Apply Oil TY
Im playing now
There's no right way or wrong way to play this game lol. You decide what to do and there are consequences for all your choices.
Auto oil is pointless, so really it doesnt even matter because it all gets done for you and you dont even know when it happens. Weirdest feature imo
It's not pointless. It's a time hack. It's literally saving a decent quantity of time if you're playing over 100 hours from not accessing a menu you've entered a million times in a playthrough. At higher difficulty, oils really make a difference.

Why am I watching this? I just finished the game for the 3rd time and clocked in my 1000th hour. 😅 I'm probably still missing content?
Hey Franky boy I've been watching a lot of your videos and I was just curious is the Euphoria build with the bear armor realy good?
It is! There are multiple variants of it :)
It’s very tanky 👌
