📋 About This Mod

Next gen version of my original mod: Here

This mod is intended for those who believe that it makes no sense to have half of the Skellige quests' levels set lower than 16 when this is the suggested level for Destination: Skellige. Quests where there is a bigger level difference from a chronologically earlier quest were changed as well and where it made sense to me. I also increased the levels in rewards.xml, so you should earn full XP if you're not 5+ levels above the newly changed suggested levels. Fistfights weren’t changed because they aren’t affected by ±5 level difference.

Note: With the exception of Berengar’s Blade and Rough Neighborhood, I didn’t change levels for enemies to accommodate for the increased levels of the quests that I changed. You don’t get that much XP from killing enemies, but it takes a lot of time to find and change all the parameters in all of these quests for enemies and IMHO it’s not really worth the time. You can always turn on Enemy Scaling for a challenge, so I hope you won’t mind that.

List of changed quests (number in brackets is the original level and the number behind the new level):

  • []Novigrad Dreaming (7): 10

    []Haunted House (7): 10

    []A Favor for Radovid (9): 12 (actually set to lvl 12, but not in the journal)

    []Missing Persons (15): 18

    []Nameless (14): 18

    []Blood on the Battlefield (20): 24 (actually set to lvl 24, but not in the journal)

    []Through Time and Space (26): 28

    []Skjall's Grave (28): 30

    []Honor Among Thieves (9): 12)

    []Rough Neighborhood (10): 26

    []The Gangs of Novigrad (9): 12

    []Berengar’s Blade (27): 19 (The Isle of Mists is the cut-off point, now in line with Ugly Baby)

    []Stranger in a Strange Land (14): 17

    []An Unpaid Debt (15): 18

    []A Hallowed Horn (12): 17

    []Flesh for Sale (12): 17

    []Following the Thread (11): 17 (you get to Skellige after level 16)

    []Free Spirit (13): 16

    []From a Land Far, Far Away (13): 16

    []Master of the Arena (14): 17

    []The Cave of Dreams (14): 17

    []The Nithing (14): 17

    []The Price of Honor (14): 17

    []The Family Blade (15): 18

    []In Wolf’s Clothing (15): 18

    []A Bard's Beloved (15): 18

    []Armed Assault (15): 18

    []For Fame and Glory (15): 18

    []The Last Wish (15): 18

    []Black Pearl (13): 16

    Use Script Merger to resolve any potential conflicts.

    Installation:

    Simply put the mod folder in your Witcher 3 directory/mods. If this is your first mod, then just create a new folder called "mods" or "Mods" and put it in there. Mod Manager will probably work too. To uninstall, simply delete the mod.

    Special Thanks:

    To paulr0013 who taught me how to edit quest levels. Thanks, bud!
