Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear

Introduced as a DLC for, Wolf School Gear was introduced into the game. As with normal Scavenger Hunts, there are purchasable maps that reveal the starting location for each of the treasure hunts. One can purchase these maps from the merchants shown below.

Additionally, you need to have unlocked both Skellige and Kaer Morhen before you can claim any of the Wolven diagrams. The recommended starting level is 14 for the base gear but there are very few enemies throughout this entire scavenger hunt; much less than compared to Cat or Bear school

Where to buy the Treasure Maps (optional)
The Treasure maps are optional as one can find the diagrams without the maps as well. The merchants that sell the maps:


 * Part 1 and Part 5 - blacksmith Éibhear Hattori, Novigrad.
 * Part 2 - blacksmith in Lindenvale.
 * Part 3 - armorer by the bridge to Kaer Trolde, Skellige
 * Part 4 - armorer in Hierarch Square, Novigrad.
 * Part 6 - armorer by the bridge to Kaer Trolde, Skellige.

Note: Because merchants tend to disappear at the end of the game, those who completed the story have two choices: either go straight for the diagrams using the guide below OR reload an older save, buy the maps and mark the locations for the treasure hunts first. Lower level players who haven't completed the main story will have no problem finding the merchants and buying the maps so long as they've unlocked Novigrad and Skellige.

Basic
Important: The first part of the Wolven School scavengerhunt can only be obtained in Kaer Morhen, which Geralt won't reach until later in the storyline when he's already leveled well beyond their level requirement. You can obtain the other diagrams in the meantime once you've reached Skellige, but won't be able to craft anything until the story brings you to Kaer Morhen.

To start this hunt Geralt has to find some notes at the old signal tower, just south west of Kaer Morhen. Since the it's located on top of a hill with some very steep cliff walls you won't be able to cut your way straight towards it from the castle. Either travel to Bastion and simply follow the path east until you reach the old signal tower. Or, if you don't have that signpost unlocked yet, use the following directions: Leave Kaer Morhen towards the south, then take the valleypath that circles back in a western direction. Once it splits, take the left turn and from there on count the stone posts with torches; near the second post you can climb up the hill on your left side and make for the path marked on the map south west of where you are. Once you've found the path, follow it in the eastern direction until you reach the ruined signal tower.

Head inside the tower and find the chest that contains Hieronymus' notes. After reading them Geralt will be directed to 3 locations.
