📋 About This Mod

This mod will allow all non-Grand Master weapons and armors to be able to apply set bonuses, but only the first level. To enable the full set bonuses, you still need to equip the sufficient quantity of the Grand Master gears.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod lets non-Grand Master weapons and armor apply set bonuses in The Witcher 3, but only the first level. Full bonuses still require equipping enough Grand Master gear. It's a quality-of-life tweak for players who want set perks without full Grand Master sets.

✨ Key Features

Allows non-Grand Master weapons and armor to apply set bonuses
Only the first level of set bonuses is enabled by non-Grand Master gear

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 260 endorsements and over 6,300 downloads
  • Gives you flexibility to mix and match gear without losing early set perks
  • Simple concept that directly addresses a common frustration with set bonuses

⚠️ Cons

  • Only enables the first bonus tier, so you won't get the full set power without Grand Master gear
  • Last updated in March 2025 — may not be compatible with future game patches
🎯 Is This For You?
For Witcher 3 players who want to experiment with mixed armor sets while still getting some set bonuses. Perfect for those who find Grand Master gear too late or too costly to fully assemble. Skip if you want full set bonuses without Grand Master gear — this mod won't give you that.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the Next-Gen update installed, as this mod is marked Next-Gen Compatible.
  • If you're using other mods that alter set bonuses, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
  • Test with a save before committing to a build — equip a non-Grand Master piece and check your character sheet for the bonus.
