* If you go off the beaten path in some parts of Velen you will run into monsters way higher level that you. This is another hint that you shouldn't aim to "clear each map" before moving on. One possible exception is White Orchard, due to being a small map with a fair number of Places of Power. Clearing that sets you up nicely for the rest of the game. | * If you go off the beaten path in some parts of Velen you will run into monsters way higher level that you.

* If you manage to kill a very high level monster (one marked with a red skull), the reward will either be an item you can't use yet, or scaled down to your level. Just wait until your level is high enough to fight them. | |||

* The "Makes the Axii sign more effective in dialogues" trait of that talent basicially means that it can affect groups. Without the trait, if you use Axii on a person surrounded by friends, the friends will call you on using it. It's a good early pick, but not exactly mandatory as long as you pay attention to when and where you use Axii in dialogue. | * The "Makes the Axii sign more effective in dialogues" trait of that talent basicially means that it can affect groups.

* | * As far as Gwent tips, every merchant you can play cards with will give you a free card when you win, most innkeepers have cards in their inventory. If you go through the first area and part of the second you'll build up enough of a decent deck to slam pretty much anyone. You won't be able to beat the guy in the palace when you first meet him, but go back and take that bastard's card when you think you're ready. | ||
* There is a guy in Novigrad (near St. Gregorys bridge, the dude that sells respec potions) that will sell you a book, that you can use to keep track of which areas still have cards to be won. | |||
* If you have read a book, the contents is stored in your journal. You can sell any non-quest books without consequence after reading them. | * If you have read a book, the contents is stored in your journal. You can sell any non-quest books without consequence after reading them. | ||

* Don't worry about running out of alcohol to refill potions/bombs every time you rest, even casually looting random boxes will give you more you can use. | * Don't worry about running out of alcohol to refill potions/bombs every time you rest, even casually looting random boxes will give you more you can use. | ||
* Don't get too burned out going to every ? because there are too many in the map and by the 2nd map it'll suck all the enjoyment of the game out of you. You can "clear" the first map and I recommend doing it because there are a lot of places of power in the first map, but in the second map if you wander off the trail you'll get murdered by skulls and I've only found two places of power on the second map. | * Don't get too burned out going to every ? because there are too many in the map and by the 2nd map it'll suck all the enjoyment of the game out of you.

* You craft a potion once, you get a potion item with a certain # of charges (I think the charges are affected by your skills). When you meditate, any potions refill their charges if you have alcohol in your inventory, one per potion that needs to be refilled. You still need ingredients later because most potions have multiple upgrades that require the base potion as an ingredient, but you don't need to hoard flowers obsessively. | * You craft a potion once, you get a potion item with a certain # of charges (I think the charges are affected by your skills).
