Enhanced Feline gear (Enhanced Feline). You wear it from level 23. Crafting uses up a basic piece.
Combat style
The Cat set is light armor. Pieces raise your attack power. You fight from movement, chain fast attacks and dodge, because armor will not hold you like a bear. Aard knocks down a group and you jump right back into a string of hits. Treat Quen as a short safety net, not your main way to fight. When you stand still and just tank hits, you will not get much from this set.

Where to find the diagrams
You buy the map for the enhanced Cat set from the blacksmith in Blackbough. It is a different map from the merchant in the same village. After you read it, objectives pop up around Velen and Novigrad.
You find the chest in Aeramas’ Abandoned Manor. The gloves sit in Codger’s Quarry. You pick up the trousers in the cellar at the blacksmith in Oxenfurt, and the boots in a cave east of Toderas.
The steel sword lies in a cave at Reardon Manor. The silver sword is in a house at Oxenfurt Gate. Go from objective to objective until you have all six diagrams.
Who crafts it
An apprentice armorer or blacksmith forges it for you, and you have the list in the blacksmiths and armorers overview. You need a finished basic piece as material.
