Cat School gear is called Feline gear in The Witcher 3. The basic set has seven diagrams—four armor pieces, two swords, and a crossbow—and its scavenger hunt is recommended for level 17. The upgrades run through Enhanced, Superior, Mastercrafted, and Grandmaster, with level requirements of 23, 29, 34, and 40. “Remastered” is retained from the requested title, but this guide does not treat it as the name of a separate official edition.

What Cat School gear includes

The basic Feline set is a light-armor set built around attack power rather than the stronger damage resistance associated with heavier armor. That makes it a fit for an offensive, mobile play style, not a universally best set. The base hunt covers locations around Velen and Novigrad and is recommended for level 17. The Official Witcher Wiki’s basic-hunt reference lists seven diagrams:

  • Feline armor
  • Feline trousers
  • Feline boots
  • Feline gauntlets
  • Feline steel sword
  • Feline silver sword
  • Feline crossbow

Basic Feline diagrams: level 17

The four armor diagrams are together in one dungeon; the crossbow and swords are found separately. The armor-dungeon entrance is concealed by an illusion, so you need Keira Metz’s Eye of Nehaleni to enter.

Armor, trousers, boots, and gauntlets: Temple Isle

  1. Go to the cavern beneath Temple Isle in Novigrad and use the Eye of Nehaleni on the illusion at the entrance.
  2. Proceed through the cavern, dealing with the golem and using the statue levers to open the pool area.
  3. Find the key at the bottom of the pool and use it to open the locked door.
  4. Loot Mad Kiyan to collect the Feline armor, trousers, boots, and gauntlets diagrams.

Crossbow: the Flying Stag

Search the wreck of the Flying Stag, on an island off Novigrad’s west coast. The Feline crossbow diagram is inside the ship.

Upgrade levels and map vendors

Non-Grandmaster Feline upgrades are found through scavenger hunts started by buying Adalbert Kermith maps. The maps help add quest markers and journal tracking, but they are not required to collect diagrams: you can go directly to the locations. The listed level requirements are 23 for Enhanced, 29 for Superior, 34 for Mastercrafted, and 40 for Grandmaster. Witcher Stream’s Feline set guide gives those tier thresholds.

Tier Recommended level Map vendor or access Where to look
Enhanced 23 Buy Kermith’s first map from the Blackbough merchant and second map from the Blackbough blacksmith. The hunt covers six pieces; the Enhanced armor is at Aeramas’ Abandoned Manor.
Superior 29 Buy Kermith’s third map from the Crow’s Perch quartermaster. The hunt covers all six upgrade pieces, including the Superior silver sword in a cave near Ursten.
Mastercrafted 34 Buy Kermith’s fourth map from the Lindenvale blacksmith. All six diagrams are in Skellige: four armor pieces in a Faroe cave near Trottheim, the steel sword at Caer Gelen on Ard Skellig, and the silver sword in a cave near Harviken on Faroe.
Grandmaster 40 Requires Blood and Wine; speak to Grandmaster Smith Lazare Lafargue near Beauclair’s main market. All six diagrams are in Toussaint.

Where to find Grandmaster Feline gear

Grandmaster Feline is part of the Blood and Wine expansion. Visit Lazare Lafargue near Beauclair’s main market to begin the Grandmaster scavenger hunt. The six diagrams are split across three Toussaint locations:

  • Villa Vedette: The Grandmaster Feline armor diagram is behind a painting.
  • Arthach Palace ruins: Find the boots and trousers diagrams at the Hanse base.
  • Pits of Brume: Find the gauntlets and both sword diagrams here.

The hunt’s journal directions point you through these locations; read the witcher’s journal when you reach the relevant part of the quest.

Choosing Feline gear

Feline armor favors attack power over damage resistance, so it suits players who want an offensive build and are comfortable taking less protection than a heavier set offers. The level requirement and expansion access also matter: the base set starts at level 17, while Grandmaster requires level 40 and Blood and Wine. There is no supported version-specific or controlled ranking that makes Feline the best choice for every build.
