Notes on Collecting Gwent Cards
Geralt starts the game with the Midlands base deck, which he will use for most of the early game. Includes several special weather cards and 24-unit cards.
There are a total of 199 Gwent cards to collectThe Sorcerer 3.Of these, 120 are unique and the rest are duplicates. For example, the Blue Stripes Commando card uses the "Tight Bond" ability to work with copies of itself, so there are three Blue Stripes Commando cards.Geralt only needs to collect unique cards to complete "Collect Them All".
General there are many waysget Gwent cardsthe wizard 3.The two most common methods are earning them from matches in Gwent and buying them from various merchants. Each region has Gwent-related quests, such as the "City Players" quest in Novigrad. Geralt must make every effort to complete them before proceeding with the story. Several cards available in these missions can be lost if certain story events happen.
In rare cases, Gwent cards can be found in non-Gwent quests, which will be detailed later in this guide.
note on difficulties
If Geralt is having trouble winning matches, remember that Gwent has its own difficulty levels. In the settings, look for the difficulty slider dedicated to Gwent. This does not affect achievement requirements or the difficulty of the rest of the game.
Players can find out what cards are left in the Gwent Wonder Guide. See the section at the end of the guide for more details.
How to get the Miraculous Guide to Gwent
One of the most important tools Geralt can find when looking for Gwent cards isA wonderful guide to Gwent.This book uses magic to control the number of cards remaining in each region. While not the most robust or reliable source of information, it does help with the most basic and general information.
The book can be obtained after defeating the scholar in the Tavern in White Orchard. When Geralt first arrives at this location, Vesemir will order him to interrogate the inn's guests. He looks for some men playing Gwent and come. After asking questions, Geralt will start to walk away. The Scholar will then offer Geralt his first fight in Gwent. Defeat him to get your first i cardA wonderful guide to Gwent.Though not everything has been saidthe wizard 3Gwent card locations, still worth having.
Combine rewards for quests vs. Rewards for "Unfamous" matches.
during the examA wonderful guide to Gwent,players will notice that 47 cards can be gained from “players without fame or specific skill”. Unlike quest matches, where Geralt is always dealt predetermined cards, matches with players "without fame or specific skill" reward Geralt with a randomly selected card from a pool created for that purpose.
When Geralt collects everythingthe wizard 3Gwent cards, maybe focus on themall DLC cards, including a new Skellige deck.
