Long time Witcher player (1, 2 & 3) but first time modder. Preferred play style is hybrid alchemy / fast attack and I hate having to wait till Blood & Wine to get Manticore gear at level 40. Now using REDkit (many thanks CDPR) I've created 4 full Manticore sets for the main game. The 4 quests to get the crafting schematics start with maps / books as follows:

- Initiate Level 9 - Manticore Set Map (Velen) in Vizima Hidden Room
- Enhanced Level 16 - Manticore Witchers Journal Volume 1 (Novigrad) in Hierarch Square Book Shop
- Superior Level 25 - Manticore Upgrade Map (Skellege) in Yeniffer's Room at Kear Trolde Harbour
- Mastercrafted Level 34 - Manticore Witchers Journal Volume 2 (Kaer Morhen) in keep library

Each set of gear progressively increases armor / damage stats and abilities  so it fits in with the B&W set. 

I haven't changed the appearance firstly because I love the look harking back to Witcher 1 and secondly I couldn't get the Blender modified meshes that create 4 new looks to load into the mod. I was more interested in playing the gear than making it look different.

Anyway I hope other players like the mod noting to create the new gear you have to create a DLC mod. So the zip file contains files for a new DLC and a new mod and should be loaded into the main W3 directory.
