How To Respec In The Witcher 3

In the previous game, there was an NPC sorcerer you could talk to in order to reset your skills. This time, there’s a magic potion. The respec potion is very rare, so it would probably be a good idea to snag it as soon as you see it, no matter the cost. It might be pricey, but having it on you will allow for some peace of mind.

Once you drink it, all of your skills will reset, and all your ability points will go back into the “available” pool, including the ones you got from Places of Power. You will then be able to invest them any way you like, again.

Potion of Clearance

The first vendor that sells the Potion of Clearance is Keira Metz. After finishing the Magic Lamp quest, you’ll start another – An Invitation From Keira Metz. Go to Keira’s hut north-east of Midcopse, and ask her to trade. You’ll see the potion in her inventory. It costs 1000 Crowns, and lets you redistribute your ability points.

Later on, you can buy it in Novigrad. There is a plaza north-east of Hierarch Square. When you get there, go to the building on the west side. The merchant that occupies it will sell you the Potion of Clearance, for the same price as Keira – 1000 Crowns. You’ll need to talk to him about certain artifacts first – only then will you have the option to trade with him. After you’ve bought it, it will show up in the merchant’s inventory again, after 24 hours.

When you get to the Skellige Isles, you’ll find two merchants close to each other that sell them as well. They’re both near the Gedyneith signpost in eastern Ard Skellig. Gremist requires you to finish the quest Practicum in Advanced Alchemy, while the alchemist in the cave west of the signpost can be approached immediately. They both stock five bottles at a time, priced at 1000 Crowns a piece.
