DLC cards

[CrowdedDread]

Hello, Would it be possible to update the table and include cards from DLCs?

Hearts of Stone: 12 cards

Blood and Wine: 43 cards (Skellige deck)

I could help with the allcards.csv, but the rest is beyond my skills, eg. the progress bar. (I created an account for the sole purpose of writing this request.)

The tracker is awesome and I would like to see it up-to-date.

Hi CrowdedDread, it means a lot to me that you took the time to create an account to make this request!

Last year, I got a similar request to add Hearts of Stone cards: #22. I closed that one because the primary intention of the site was to track cards for the Card Collector achievement, while Hearts of Stone doesn't have a similar achievement, and the Blood and Wine quest and achievement has a tracker in game.

Since this is the 2nd request, I'm happy to reconsider and think about it again. :) Not making any promises though. ;)

I think the trickiest part would be to add an expansion part to the list, in case someone wants to track only cards from the base game (which would be me). UI design is not my strong point. An icon at the front or the back of the row would probably be simplest.

[CrowdedDread]

Please do reconsider, yours is the most elegant and user friendly tracker I've found!

I did not know that there is an in-game tracker for the Skellige deck, I'm not that far yet and I ignored gwent completely in my previous playthroughs. So that is something to look forward to. I also recently got the mod for tracking gwent cards (good for merchants and players, cards not so much). But I would still appreciate an out-of-the-game tracker more. :)

As for the trickiest part, perhaps add another column at the end with Wild Hunt/Hearts of Stone/Blood and Wine. And maybe 2 progress bars for HoS and B&W cards separately?

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your tracker!

Hi @CrowdedDread, I finally took some time to look into this. I added the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine cards, and added a separate tracking bar for the expansions: https://gwentcards.github.io/ (if the changes don't show, hold the CTRL key while refreshing, to clear the cache and download the new version).

Thank you so much for providing the CSV file! That helped a lot and really saved me a ton of time implementing this!

May I ask your opinion about the following:

• According to the wiki, Skellige Storm is a Neutral card, and not in the Skellige deck itself (https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Skellige_Gwent_deck). I put it into the Neutral deck in the checklist. Do you agree with that?
• All the Gwent cards of the Blood and Wine expansion are part of a Gwent Quest, but you have play with and win from NPCs to get them. Arguably both the Win from NPC and Gwent Quest categories could be correct. What do you think? Do you know if you can obtain these cards already if you don't have the quest yet (then Win from NPC makes the most sense).
• Do you think I should do anything with extra quantities of cards from the base game, that could be obtained in the expansions? For example, this NPC sells a bunch of cards from the base game: https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Merchant_(circus_troupe)/Store For now, I didn't add them. I don't think adding them is really necessary, but on the other for really pure completionists who want all the copies of all the cards, this could be useful...
• I have been wondering about the location Novigrad. According to the wiki, the Gustfields is outside of Novigrad. I think I Originally just wanted to distinguish between the three main areas of the game, which you unlock in order (Velen, Novigrad, Skellige), but the Hearts of Stone expansion makes it a bit messier. Do you have any opinions or thoughts about it?

[CrowdedDread]

Hi @vzx, Wow! I really was not expecting you to do it so soon, what a pleasant surprise! Glad I could help with the csv.

As for my opinion:

• Yes, Skellige is indeed a neutral card, so that is fine. The "Skellige" part probably got me confused when I was updating the list.

• So apparently you can start the quest by either speaking to Monnier or winning a card from any NPC. I’d say this quest is conceptually in the same category as the Collect ‘em All quest, but for the DLC, therefore I would keep this as Win from NPC. (Also when I was thinking about this I noticed I made a mistake with the King Bran card, could you please change the details to just “Beauclair, Ducal Camerlengo”?)

• These are not actually extra cards, I did this part recently and went to the Circus merchant super early and bought all his cards, later Marquise Serenity did not have all cards she usually has (because I bought them already), eg. Dol Blathanna Archer, you could add "OR Circus Camp near Carsten, Merchant". But he also sells 3 Mahakaman Defenders and there's 5 MDs in the game total and each is different, and I'm not sure whether he always sells the same versions, that would one thing to consider aswell. (Another mistake: Schirrú is Win from NPC.)

• Yes, this bit was confusing for me as well because to me it is not Velen, more like Novigrad vicinity, but according to Witcher Wikia it is actually Redania (though Gustfields are considered part of Velen?) and I did not want to add another location exactly for the same reason as you, and “Novigrad (Gustfields)” is not that bad actually, so I went with that setting and I think it kinda distinguishes whether it’s upper (Novigrad) or lower (Velen) part of the map.

Also one small request, could you change the colour of the bar for Skellige deck to purple, maybe this shade #663399?

I've also considered one other thing, some cards can be looted after you miss the opportunity to win them from the NPCs. Do you think it would be worth the time to update the details? I have some 6 cards in my head right now. I could update the csv again and also fix the mistakes I made :)

Once again, thank you so much for updating it so soon!

Thanks, fixed both! There's some confusing info about the King Bran card on the internet, but I think indeed this is the most correct.

Also one small request, could you change the colour of the bar for Skellige deck to purple, maybe this shade #663399?

Yeah good one actually. So far I was only using the basic colors provided by the theme I'm using: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/colors/ I've changed Skellige into the one you recommended. If at some point you think the others could use a different color and it's not too time-consuming to figure out what the color codes are, I'd be happy to update those too. Small changes, but makes it all look just a little bit neater. :)

Gustfields

Thanks for sharing your perspective, then I will leave it as it is now. I'm not aiming to have the site match the lore 100% correctly, just to have a handy checklist to find stuff in-game. 😂

I've also considered one other thing, some cards can be looted after you miss the opportunity to win them from the NPCs. Do you think it would be worth the time to update the details? I have some 6 cards in my head right now. I could update the csv again and also fix the mistakes I made :)

With the big additions, the CSV file was really handy, but for smaller updates like this I think it's simpler to have the details in this ticket, which I can use to adjust the CSV file and then page accordingly. If it's not too much hassle, I would love to hear what the changes are. I do recall that when I set up the page the first time, there was a lot of mixed information about a lot of the cards online, especially a lot of differences between game versions and between platforms/consoles. I honestly didn't really bother to go through the game to check all the different details and variances, and mainly focused on "in my (PC) version of the game, this is where you could find them if you want to get all of them". I don't want to put too much text in the Details column, but some small additions with clarifications and extra opportunities (especially if certain NPCs go missing for example) are always good too add.

Hi, this one is gonna be perhaps a bit complicated :D.

For starters:

Thanks, fixed both!

Thank you!

If at some point you think the others could use a different color and it's not too time-consuming to figure out what the color codes are, I'd be happy to update those too.

I think the rest of the colours actually nicely corresponds to the colours of the decks.

But, you could also update the text at the bottom now that the whole thing is getting updated :) Based on the PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition v4.03

Now to the cards, there's 17 of them!!! I could not really decied whether update the Type as well, so I will not mind if you delete the "OR Loot" part, if you don't like it (or maybe add asterisk and a note at the bottom of the page?) I wrote the instructions where to loot to the best of my abilities and I actually checked most of them later in the game (it was real fun trying to beat Stjepan with my shitty deck :D, but I did it eventually). I've also added in parenthesis if there is an objective to find the card - this can be also deleted or rewritten. I split the card into groups based on their respective quest/expansion (I did not check Blood and Wine) and if they are received automatically if the character dies/disappears.

A Dangerous Game:

• Fringilla Vigo, Secondary Quest OR Loot, A Dangerous Game, Caesar Bilzen's house OR body of Prison Warden during The Great Escape

More comments:

delete the "OR Loot" part

Please, delete it.

body of Prison Warden during The Great Escape

The Great Escape, loot Prison Warden's body

Gwent: Old Pals OR Gwent: Play Thaler, The Seven Cats Inn, Thaler OR Seven Cats Inn, top of a crate at the end of the side dining hall

This could be shortened just to: Gwent: Old Pals OR Gwent: Play Thaler, The Seven Cats Inn, Thaler OR top of a crate at the end of the left dining hall

Thanks so much for all the pointers! I really appreciate all the time and effort you have been putting into this. I am a bit busy at the moment, so I haven't gotten around to integrating the changes just yet, but I feel confident that I can do it in the next week. :)

[CrowdedDread]

No need to rush. I just found out that some innkeeps in Toussaint also sell cards, so I'm checking that out. And maybe I'll have some additional changes. :)

EDIT: Seems like all the inkeeps in Toussaint sell cards but they overlap quite a bit, so I think there is no need to add it to the details.

[CrowdedDread]
