📋 About This Mod
Quick description
-
[]Wild Monster Hunt is an alternative game mode you can use to start fresh WMH exclusive playthroughs, or join in regular playthroughs for making money in a more immersive way (compared to Hanse base farming for example)
[
]You get a camp, you can upgrade it like Corvo Bianco but more focused on providing you advantages for monster hunting.[]You can explore a new map roughly the size of Toussaint from the Blood & Wine DLC
[]You can leave the camp and hunt monsters to complete procedurally generated contracts that you picked in order to get gear and money, which allows you to progressively craft better gear and hunt tougher targets.
[]Unlock new unique items for expanded build crafting by using a special forge only available in the new map
If you're not used to the Monster Hunter games from capcom, it's basically a hunting ground to chill and hunt monsters while still getting a sort of long term progression. It's particularly enjoyable for those who already completed the game many times in the past and would prefer a fresh location to explore and new ways to play the game while still retaining the witchery vibe we all love. It can also act as a hunting ground for when you need coins in your regular playthroughs.

Starting a WMH playthrough
Wild Monster Hunt is meant to be an alternate gamemode, for this reason you must start a new playthrough via the "New Game" menu and use the Wild Monster Hunt quick-start option. (This option may crash for unknown reasons at the moment, if it happens then use the alternative solution below)
Alternatively you can join the WMH level from a new sign-post added east of the White Orchard village, past the bridge and after the wooden tower with guards in it. If you join the WMH level via this sign-post then the mod will adjust the loot tables and the mechanics to ensure the gamemode doesn't break the usual vanilla progression. Leaving the WMH level can be done by interacting with the fast travel sign-post inside the camp.
Gameplay, progression, and difficulty
WMH can be both a calming experience and a serious challenge depending on how your approach it, its main focus is to bring you the experience of a Witcher on the path who survives by gathering and hunting in order to take care of his camp
