The Full Manticore

Version 5. 0 Update for Witcher 3 Remastered

Version 4. 1a

Minor bug fix

Update to reduce conflicts with other mods and a few minor changes.

Version 3 add NG+ along with fully linking to Blood & Wine Manticore gear as follows: -

- B&W Manticore gear renamed to "Manticore Grandmaster"

- Grandmanster gear now needs Mastercrafted gear to craft

- Mastercrafted & Grandmanster gear no uses "best" meshes i.e. mail on shoulders etc

Also moves the Eldberg Lighthouse chest onto the porch so its always available (previous update moved the Witch Hunters Barrack chest). It also includes a Mutagen Dismantling Table in Kaer Morhan,  & reduced text in some places.

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.
