The Witcher Shopping List

This page will contain a chapter by chapter list of items you should try to have in your inventory to complete all Quests, whether or not you can get experience by doing them.

General Information:
Enter every single building you can enter and open every single container. Take as much stuff as you can carry and sell whatever you don't need (check the lists below for the stuff you need). Remember that inventory space is at a premium so stock up on items that stack preferentially.

Official Quests

 * She's No Early Bird. expensive wine (any colour) for rendezvous with Vesna Hood.
 * Of Monsters and Men. 5 white myrtle petals for Abigail.
 * if Geralt kills the elves who come for Haren Brogg's crates, keep the 4 beggartick blossoms that are found on one of the corpses, they can be used for the Flowers and Gold quest in Chapter 2.

Unofficial Quests

 * 5 celandine for Shani at St. Lebioda's Hospital. Shani thanks him and if Geralt asks her for a monster anatomy lesson, sometimes a useful bestiary entry is acquired, depending on what books he has read at that point and lore he has acquired.
 * red gloves for a rendezvous with the Gossip. The conversation thread says "Some sort of frock" but the gloves do the trick (it may take many tries to get that particular conversation thread). Red gloves can be found in St. Lebioda's Hospital, in the laundry basket in the northeast corner of the main hall. There is also usually dog tallow in the dresser on the north side of the wall inthe "altar room'.
 * some food item to get information from the gardener about his mercenary days.
 * shawl for herbalist. She tells Geralt that she gathers her herbs by moonlight in the swamp.
 * red roses for Shani to thank her for the party. This is how Geralt finds out what Dandelion interrupted in Oxenfurt.
 * 9 beers (and some Wives' Tears, unless you like staggering around!) for drinking contest with Thaler. He gives Geralt a book (which cannot be sold, unlike all other non-quest books).
 * 7 beers (and some Wives' Tears) for drinking contest with messenger to find out who his employer is.
 * 7 beers (and some Wives' Tears)for drinking contest with boozer at the Hairy Bear Inn. He gives Geralt the recipe for Wives' Tears (Only if Gerald did not participate in the drinking contest with the drunkard in Chapter 1).
 * gold scarf (optional) for getting past Grandma to see Shani (Geralt can just talk his way around her eventually, or bribe her).
 * check the trunk at the back of Ramsmeat's house for a bottle of sodden mead for the drinking contest with Erkin von Blunt in Chapter 3. Also, there is a lumberjack in the swamp who is willing to sell Geralt his possessions, which also include a bottle of sodden mead, a red meteorite (I'm not sure about this one, whether or not he hands over the meteorite may depend on how many red meteorite pieces Geralt has already found) and a silver ring, for 200 orens. If Geralt does not yet have the Wive's Tears formula, this is also given.
 * wolf pelt for a rendezvous with Morenn the dryad so she can show you where little dryads come from.
 * a single Feainnewedd flower for Scoia'tael woman (she is dressed as a huntress) in the camp in the swamp.

Official Quests

 * keep the cockatrice feather from the greater cockatrice in the sewers for The Cockatrice Contract in Chapter 3.
 * Memory of a Blade. fisstech for Jethro to find out about the witcher's silver sword that was found at Thaler's place.
 * Anatomy of a Crime. The gravedigger needs some alcohol (he specifies dwarven liquor, but anything strong seems to work) before he will release the body of the crown witness for an autopsy.
 * The Dogcatcher of Vizima. The gravedigger needs six pots of dog tallow. Dog tallow can be relatively reliably found around town, or Geralt can kill poor, innocent dogs under cover of night.
 * Flowers and Gold. 5 beggartick blossoms for the ferryman.
 * Old Friend of Mine. Grandma's diary (if Geralt brings Carmen) OR Grandma's cordial (if Geralt brings Siegfried) OR Grandma's pickles and lard (if Geralt brings Zoltan).
 * Old Friend of Mine. rose wine, temerian rye, and cherry cordial for Shani's party.
 * The Crown Witness. fisstech for Jethro to find out what happened to the witness.
 * it is possible that if Geralt chose not to fight Savolla in the Prologue, that there is a sapphire in the chest at the back of Ramsmeat's house (the same chest that has the bottle of sodden mead). I am not sure if the two events are definitely related, but if so, keep that sapphire for Blue Eyes in Chapter 3.
 * The Drowned Dead Contract. 10 drowned dead's tongues for Siegfried.
 * The Echinops Contract. 3 Echinops rootstocks for the Gardener at St. Lebioda's Hospital
 * The Wolf Contract. 10 wolf pelts for Jean-Pierre the bounty hunter in the Swamp.
 * Wanted. 3 salamander badges for Declan Leuvaarden.

Unofficial Quests

 * red gloves for waitress at the New Narakort Inn. She gives Geralt the recipe for Wives' Tears
 * kikimore claw for noblewoman (her outfit has orange trim) for a rendezvous
 * silver amber ring (for Shani) OR ruby ring (for Triss), which leads to a second tryst with whichever one he chooses
 * diamond for town clerk for another rendezvous
 * another gem for the swordsmith in the market (if Geralt does not yet have a decent meteorite sword)
 * 5 sodden mead (and some Wives' Tears) for drinking contest with Erkin von Blunt (the knight who has taken a vow of silence). He gives Geralt the signet ring for the Night House
 * If Geralt leaves Alvin with Shani, some candy or a sugardoll is helpful to have around in case he demands candy (he doesn't always) as Shani wants him to "bond" with Alvin. If Geralt chooses Triss, this is unnecessary as Triss is more of a disciplinarian.

Official Quests

 * Dandelion's Lute. 7 beers for drinking contest with Dandelion to get the details necessary to find his missing lute.
 * Blue Eyes. sapphire for Blue Eyes for her services, or pay 500 orens without the ring, or pay 300 orens with the ring.
 * A Posh Reception. strong alcohol (vodka or rye) for loosening Velerad's tongue at the reception.
 * Beauty and the Beast. 5 leaves of fool's parsley for lycanthropy cure #1.
 * The Archespore Contract. Jethro needs 3 vials of archespore juice.
 * The Cockatrice Contract. The town scribe needs 5 cockatrice feathers.
 * The Fleder Contract. Velerad needs 3 fleder fangs.
 * The Ghoul Contract (2). Velerad needs 12 vials of ghoul's blood.
 * The Graveir Contract. Velerad needs 5 graveir bones.
 * The Kikimore Contract. Velerad needs 10 kikimore claws.
 * The Wyvern Contract. The Innkeeper at the New Narakort Inn needs 3 wyvern steaks.

Unofficial Quests

 * expensive ring for Celina for a rendezvous (a silver ring seems to be sufficient though).
 * White Honey for the baker. He gives Geralt a sugardoll.
 * sugardoll for woman in village for a rendezvous.
 * perfume for woman in village. I don't think Geralt ever finds a bottle of perfume, he must brew it himself.
 * wyvern steaks (or any other kind of food) for starving elves. In return, they provide some herbal lore, but usually by this point in the game, it is redundant.
 * keep a devourer tooth for the dentist in . You won't encounter devourers after this chapter.

Official Quests

 * Daily Bread. Five loaves of bread for the elves (or four, if you are stingy)
 * Ripples. dried nuts to lure the cow to the altar OR the gold bracelet from vodyanoi and the alabaster statuette from the villagers (Julian)
 * Temptation. 9 shimmering dust (if you complete the quest for the blacksmith's wife) OR 9 shadow dust (if you side with the blacksmith)
 * The Alp Contract. The village chief wants 5 alp fangs.
 * The Basilisk Contract. Julian wants 3 basilisk hides.
 * The Giant Centipede Contract. The elven handyman needs 4 carapaces.
 * The Royal Wyvern Contract. The innkeeper wants 3 wyvern eggs.

 * Won't Hurt a Bit. The dentist needs a barghest skull, a beast fang, a devourer tooth, an alp fang, a fleder fang, a cemetaur jaw, and Zdenek the boxer's tooth. Beginning in Chapter 3, Geralt can bring these items to the dentist, but make sure to keep any of the items not already given to the dentist in your inventory (get them from Dandelion at the Dike), because you won't be able to access your stored items once you enter Old Vizima until the chapter is over.
