If you need Gwent cards, use The Gwent Card Dealer mod. This and Gwent mod are mutually exclusive, because they modify the same files.
Warning 1: aforementioned merchant is available between 06:00 and 18:00.
Warning 2: make sure other mods do not override changes made by this mod.
Renaming "modRareItemsMerchant" folder to something like "mod0500_RareItemsMerchant", so it is first alphabetically, might work.
Warning 3: buying some witcher gear diagrams makes some witcher-gear-treasure-hunt-quests unfinishable.
