Warning!
The mod only works when you have NOT started any Scavenger Hunt.
And you cannot uninstall the mod. Unless you start a new game or load an older save!
There are optional files for each Scavenger Hunt if necessary.

What's the purpose?

Do you like Ursine and Wolven set, but it's a bother you can't craft them before going to Skellige or Kaer Morhen? Me too!
I made this mod and change almost all Scavenger Hunt rewards, so you get Basic/Enhanced much earlier and Superior/Mastercrafted much later in the game.
All "Part" of the Scavenger Hunt have been reordered to give Basic, Enhanced and Superior, from Part 1 to Part 4/6.  But the "Main" Scavenger Hunt quest will now reward you the Mastercrafted schematic instead.

In others words, you can now get the basic schematic of all Witcher School set in Velen/Novigrad, and their Superior schematic in Skellige/Kaer Morhen.
Here are the detailed changes:

Cat School
  • "Main": Mastercrafted, Novigrad.
  • Part 1: Basic, Velen.
  • Part 2: Enhanced (Armor, Silver, Boots), Novigrad.
  • Part 3: Enhanced (Steel, Gauntlets, Trousers), Velen/Novigrad.
  • Part 4: Superior, Skellige.

Gryphon School
  • "Main": Mastercrafted, Velen.
  • Part 1: Basic, Velen.
  • Part 2: Enhanced, Velen.
  • Part 3: Superior (Armor, Silver, Steel), Skellige.
  • Part 4: Superior (Boots, Trousers, Gauntlets), Skellige.

Bear School
  • "Main": Mastercrafted, Skellige.
  • Part 1: Basic, Velen.
  • Part 2: Enhanced, Velen.
  • Part 3: Superior (Boots, Armor, Silver), Skellige.
  • Part 4: Superior (Steel, Gauntlets, Trousers), Skellige.

Wolf School
  • "Main": Mastercrafted, Kaer Morhen.
  • Part 1: Basic (Armor, Silver, Boots), Velen.
  • Part 2: Basic (Steel, Gauntlets, Trousers), Velen.
  • Part 3: Enhanced (Armor, Steel, Silver), Skellige.
  • Part 4: Enhanced (Boots, Gauntlets, Trousers), Skellige.
  • Part 5: Superior (Steel, Armor, Silver), Kaer Morhen.
  • Part 6: Superior (Gauntlets, Trousers, Boots), Kaer Morhen.
Additionnaly for Wolf quests:
- Remove the "Not Legendary" on New Game Plus.
- Replace the already crafted Mastercrafted Wolven Armour from the side quest "The Witcher's Forge" by the cut content silver sword "Bleidd".


The mod also moves the "maps" location. Specifically:
  • Midcopse's Armourer: Gryphon Part 1;
  • Blackbough's Merchant: Cat Part 1;
  • Blackbough's Blacksmith: Bear Part 1;
  • Crow's Perch's Quartermaster: Wolf Part 1; Wolf Part 2;
  • Lindenvale's Blacksmith: Cat Part 2; Cat Part 3; 
  • Hierarch Square's Armourer: Gryphon Part 2; Bear Part 2;
  • Éibhear Hattori Blacksmith:  Wolf Part 3; Wolf Part 4;
  • Kaer Trolde's Armorer: The last maps...

Additionally, the mod swaps their quest title, objectives and level.
I also rewrite the English quest name so it is easier to follow, for example: "Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear Upgrade Diagrams - Part 2 (Basic)"

Finally, important note: It's Brothers In Arms Compatible!!
4.04 Next-Gen Compatible!

Installation
For newcomer/beginner: I invite you reading The Tome of Witcher 3 Modding

0 DON'T USE VORTEX!!
1. Use Witcher 3 Mod Manager, or extract the files and drop both "Mods" and "DLC" folder in your game's directory.
2. Launch Script Merger, put in higher priority if it conflicts.

How to uninstall?
Read the WARNING up there...
If you are safe to do, remove the folder "mod_ProgressiveScavenger" from Mods and "dlc_progressive_scavenger" from DLC.

Compatibility and Conflict
Reminder: Next-Gen compatible!

Be cautious, this mod sensibly change the Scavenger Hunt quest files (w2phases, journal, w2ent, CVS, XML). Because of that, removing the mod and continue those quests will make it impossible to get all schematic. Hence, I deliberately enable for the mod the impossibility to continue the game without the mod, which explain the warning... Once again, you can only uninstall the mod before you start a new game or load an older save.

With the risk given, I made the mod based on Brothers in Arms mod for compatibility and my best to reduce potential conflict. I also separate them into each Scavenger Hunt if by chance you didn't start one of them or for others reason.
One know issue: Sometimes if you loot all the set before reading the map, you won't get the associate quest in the journal (like it won't activate).
It's okay to merge all bundled text, but if you got merged conflict, I suggest you quit and put the mod in lower priority.

Here, the list of all changed files:
