Enhanced Wolven gear (Enhanced Wolven). You wear it from level 21. Crafting uses up a basic piece.
Combat style
The Wolven set is a medium hybrid. Pieces give you attack and adrenaline, so you mix fast and strong slashes and keep the pace in a fight. When you want only fast attacks, pick the Cat set. This set is a mix of everything, signs included. It fits Aard, Igni, Quen, Yrden, and Axii.

Where to find the diagrams
For the enhanced Wolven set you need two Hieronymus notes. You buy one from Hattori in Novigrad and the other from the blacksmith in Lindenvale. After you read them, objectives alternate between Velen and Kaer Morhen.
The chest sits on an island southwest of Fyke Isle, and you have to dive for it. You find the boots in a cave northeast of Crookback Bog. The gloves are in a cave south of Kaer Morhen. The trousers lie underwater northeast of the lake hut.
The steel sword is on a ruined watchtower. The silver sword is in a well at Crow’s Perch.
Who crafts it
An apprentice armorer or blacksmith forges it for you, and you have the list in the blacksmiths and armorers overview.
