The Witcher swords can be found across the continent and come with various upgrades. Witcher swords are easy to identify as they are highlighted in green text. Witcher swords offer bonuses from killing enemies, sometimes even exceeding 18%.
Killing bosses and monsters inThe Witcher 3will result in rewards like trophies. These trophies can be equipped on Roach for bonuses, including more XP. For instance,completing the White Orchard contractwill reward players with such a trophy and can be acquired early in the game.
The game is designed to scale itself based on how many Witcher contracts and side quests a player completes. For this reason, players should explore each new location thoroughly to find notice boards and complete at least two major side quests or Witcher contracts for every story mission completed.
Players that want to level up rapidly should not focus on under-leveled missions. The game will not reward players with XP five times higher than the mission’s level, offering only scraps as XP.
