Halp - Trying to continue my half-completed playthrough.

Hi y'all. I recently updated Witcher 3 to pick off where I left off (level 21 in Skellige, freshly defeated the Hym.) Currently I'm a little worried about tackling the game again because I feel like I have to re-learn all the little nuances of combat (let alone Gwent) and was wondering if y'all could help me figure out where to go from here. I've made a list of the various quests I have lying in my journal that are of lower level than me. Maybe y'all can give some advice on where I can "warm up" because as of right now I keep throwing random punches & chugging random potions I have equipped.

Quests :

• Redania's Most Wanted Lv. 12 (Tell Radovid about Phillipa – not sure why i haven't completed this yet.)


• Echoes of the Past Lv. 17(Find Yennefer in the crate)


• The Lord of Undvik Lv. 17 (Ask around New Port Inn/Find Hjalmar)


• A Feast for Crows Lv.20 (Use W. senses to find out more about the murdered man)

Contracts :

• Muire D'yaeblen Lv. 18 (Investigate the area where the Drowne dwere seen)


• Here Comes the Groom Lv.19 (Talk to Britt.)


• Phantom of the Trade Route Lv. 20(Wait in the cave for the Chort to catch the scent – I left this well alone because I tried tackling it several levels too early and I REALLY really learned my lesson about tackling overleveled quests)


• The Mystery of the Byways Murders Lv. 22 (Deal with the Ghouls prowling the village. For some reason the objective Talk to the commander of the Nilfgaardian patrol is marked with a red cross?)

Treasure Hunts :

• Scav. Hunt : Bear Sch.


• Griffin Sch Upgrade Diags.


• Cat Sch Upgrade Diags.

I currently have equipped :

• Ashrune Lv. 18 159-195 dmg (Wont bother with the runes.) AND Ursine Steel Sword (+27 dmg increase)


• Griffin Silver Sword – Enhanced (I think the enhanced came from my Enhanced insectoid oil)


• Enhanced Griffin Gloves, Trousers, Boots


• Enhanced Feline Armor AND Enhanced Griffin Armor (Something weird here because the moment i swapped out my griffin armor my feline armor became unequippable and had a level 23 Req.)

And have specced to have the following skills : 12 points in Fast Attack, 8 in Defense, 3 in Undying from Battle Trance, 3 in Exploding Shield from Quen, 3 in Delusion from Axii, 1 in Yrden Magic Trap.

A part of me feels like I could restart because there's quite a bit of new content from the patches and expansions from what I understand, but I also do remember having invested about AT LEAST 59 hours of game time, and I am usually only able to have time to play on weekends due to the nature of my work (which requires me to stay in 5 days of the week or more).

Any advice would be appreciated – can't wait to get back to killing monsters.
