About this mod
Makes Bear school armor (ursine) use Griffin school stats and vice versa.
Made for Patch 1.12.1
- Permissions and credits
Hey guys,
I didn't like how the Griffin School Armor looks like heavy (plate) armor but has medium armor stats and the Bear School Armor looks more like medium (leather) one but uses heavy armor characteristics. So I simply swapped the stats of them. Bear School (also called 'Ursine') armor now uses the stats of the Griffin School and vice versa.
The mod changes the normal stats only. NG/NG+ are not included.
Intended for the most recent patch, 1.12.1
<<<Installation>>>
Use NMM for easy installation and deinstallation.
For manual installation:
Simply paste the mod into your Witcher 3 Mods folder. If there is none yet, create one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun and seize your Bear armor with sign-swinging Gryphon stats :)

<<<Modding tutorial>>>
(For those interested in how I achieved my goal)
I managed to do so by switching their stats with this official tool. ModKitchen helps a lot. It simplifies the uncooking and repacking called processes by giving you a nice little GUI you can do it all in.
If you want to update the mod to a newer patch (post 1.12.1) follow the instructions to uncook your game data. Head to the location of your uncooked game data.
Head to "XY"/uncooked/gameplay/items and copy
def_item_crafting_armor.xml
def_item_crafting_boots.xml
def_item_crafting_gloves.xml
def_item_crafting_pants.xml
to a new folder. Call it modded. You can safely change the files inside this folder now. Open them with Notepad++.
Copy and paste the stats from:
<!-- Gryphon armor -->
beginning at line 256 to:
<!-- Bear armor -->
and vice versa (tip: use a new file to safe the standard stats in, helps a lot while switching them out).
Remember to keep the original <ability name="Gryphon Armor _Stats"> and <ability name="Bear Armor _Stats">,though!
Head to line 1071. Look for:
<!-- WITCHER GRYPHON -->
Change:
localisation_key_description="item_category_medium_armor_description"
to:
localisation_key_description="item_category_heavy_armor_description"
as well as the:
<tags>Armor, MediumArmor, GryphonSet, mod_armor, mod_legendary
to:
<tags>Armor, HeavyArmor, GryphonSet, mod_armor, mod_legendary
Repeat this steps with the appropriate tags under
<!-- WITCHER BEAR -->
following reversing logic.
If you changed the stats in
def_item_crafting_armor.xml
def_item_crafting_boots.xml
def_item_crafting_gloves.xml and
def_item_crafting_pants.xml
in your Modded folder, start to delete all the datas you did NOT touch.
Your folder should now look like this:
"Your Drive":/"Your desired modding path"/Modded/gameplay/items
Inside the items folder should only be this files:
def_item_crafting_armor.xml
def_item_crafting_boots.xml
def_item_crafting_gloves.xml
def_item_crafting_pants.xml
Start ModKitchen.
Head to the tab build a mod.
Choose a name for your mod and put it in.
Put in the directory to the folder containing your Modded folder, NOT to your Modded folder.
Click on Build!
At "Your desired modding path" you should find a folder called Packed
Open it.
Inside there should be another folder, called mod"YourModName"
Copy and paste this one to your Witcher 3 installation path Mods folder.
