Guide for illiterate witchers

Welcome to the Guide for illiterate witchers, also known as practising the fine art of conversation and gift giving. Special thanks go to Licensed Luny for the many, many hours of research so tirelessly put in, all in aid of those few witchers who are illiterate either by choice or circumstance.

What if your poor witcher never learned to read ? How would he get along? Thankfully, not all information must come from print sources. Here is a little guide which lets you know just what sort of information Geralt can get without reading books or scrolls. All these journal entries are obtained either by speaking with various and sundry NPCs, or by using found items like previously unknown oils, potions and bombs thus revealing their formulae.

Follow the links below and check the "Source" sections to see how any given entry can be acquired without reading.
