Witcher 3: Wild Hunt master smiths Hattori and Joana bug? Master blacksmiths can't make anything?

I hope you can help me.

I'm already level 35 and wanted to have new weapons and armor made for me because I'm about to end. It is well known that this will not be easy and you need very good weapons. So on to the master armorer Hattori in Novigrad. There I notice: he only shows me armor with the note "Wrong craftsman". I can't have anything made from him. Restart, reload, different time of day, tried everything. I can buy weapons from him, but not have anything made.

After 2 hours I gave up and said to myself: Well then just a great piece of armor. Off to Joana in Velen.

Another bug. I don't know if it was a bug but I couldn't travel directly from Novigrad to Velen. I had to travel via Weissgarten and then to Velen.

When I got to Joana I talked to you and what did I find? Yep exactly: Suddenly she only offers weapons for manufacturing, but she can't manufacture them.

I'm desperate! What about it?

The problem is: I play the whole thing on the PlayStation and can't just download anything like a bug fix or something. Do you have any experiences or ideas?

Have you already completed the quests for both of them? I don't know anymore whether they will be available before the end of the quest. In any case, they can only produce master items after each quest has ended.

I could not travel directly from Novigrad to Velen. I had to travel via Weissgarten and then to Velen.

Funny, from Novigrad to Velen you should go your own way. What did that look like? Couldn't you choose Velen, or just the fast travel point at the Red Baron's?

Oh man, I'm sorry! I think your game is badly bugged and you have to restart or make New Game + for better or worse.

Believe me, I already had bugged quests and had to do it in New Game +. Really annoying, but the developers won't fix anything either. You have to go through that.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, I completed both quests for it. As I said: I'm just before the end of the main quest. Before the quests, the two of them are unable to manufacture or sell anything. So with Hattori it is definitely like that. I don't remember that with Joana.

I couldn't choose Velen. I was in Novigrad, wanted to take a fast trip to Velen and when I selected Velen I kept coming back to the map of Novigrad.

Then that speaks more of a bug. Have you ever tried to load an older game save?

Di

Unfortunately I don't have any older scores anymore, where I know for sure that the problem wasn't there already.

You could start Blood & Wine. That works on the level. Only the beginning, until you open up the dealers in Toussaint. They're just as good as Hattori and Joanna

ra

Hmm, that's bad. Do you have the Blood and Wine expansion? There's also a master blacksmith for weapons and armor.

Di

Unfortunately, no. -.

Di

Thanks, but I don't have the extension.

Then I think you will have no choice but to end the story (works without the master equipment) and start a New Game +.
