In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, build customization and character progression reach their peak during mid-to-late-game mechanics. While levelling up skills, upgrading Witcher School gear, and brewing Superior Decoctions offer steady power increases, one specific mechanic stands head and shoulders above the rest: the Runewright Enchantment System introduced in Hearts of Stone, centered around the transformative Levity Runeword.

For years, action-RPG design forced players into a binary choice: wear Heavy Armor (like Ursine Gear) for maximum damage reduction and adrenaline generation, or wear Light Armor (like Feline Gear) for extreme critical hit damage via Cat School Techniques.

The introduction of Levity completely shattered this limitation, creating what community theorycrafters and combat experts universally consider the single most important upgrade in The Witcher 3 Remastered.

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of how Levity works, why it transforms Geralt’s lethality, and how to pair it with supplementary endgame upgrades like Severance and the Euphoria Mutation.

1. Understanding Levity: Breaking Armor Category Boundaries

Located in Upper East Novigrad, the Runewright NPC requires a substantial initial investment of 30,000 Crowns to fully unlock Tier 3 enchantments. However, the returns on this investment are unprecedented.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                    THE LEVITY RUNEWORD MECHANIC                       |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| BASE ENCHANTMENT:  Converts ALL equipped armor pieces (Head, Chest,   |
|                    Trousers, Boots) into LIGHT ARMOR classification.  |
|                                                                       |
| KEY BENEFIT:       Retains native Heavy/Medium Armor damage           |
|                    resistances while activating Light Armor Perks.     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

[ Heavy Ursine Armor Set ] ──> Apply Levity Enchantment ──> Classified as LIGHT ARMOR
                                                                    │
[ Cat School Techniques ] <── Activates +100% Crit Damage Multiplier ┘

The Mechanical Breakdown

In default gameplay, armor weight determines stamina regeneration rates and passive perk compatibility:

• Light Armor: Fastest stamina regeneration, paired with Cat School Techniques (+25% Critical Hit Damage and +5% Fast Attack Damage per light piece).

• Heavy Armor: Highest physical/monster damage resistance, paired with Bear School Techniques (increased health and strong attack power).

Applying Levity onto an Ursine (Bear) or Griffin chest piece alters the hidden weight tag of every equipped item to “Light.” Geralt retains 100% of the massive damage mitigation stats from heavy plate mail while instantly gaining a passive +100% Critical Damage bonus and +20% Fast Attack damage from Cat School Techniques.

2. Synergy Analysis: Levity + Cat School Techniques

====================================================================
               STAT OVERLAY: URSINE ARMOR WITH LEVITY
====================================================================
 Stat Type                  Without Levity          With Levity + Perk
 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Monster Resists            50% - 70% Reduction     50% - 70% (Unchanged)
 Physical Damage Resists    40% - 60% Reduction     40% - 60% (Unchanged)
 Fast Attack Multiplier     Base Value              +20% Damage
 Critical Hit Damage       Base Value              +100% Damage
 Stamina Regeneration      Slow (Heavy Penalty)    FAST (Light Rate)
====================================================================

By combining the highest damage-mitigation armor set in the game with the highest offensive damage perk in the skill tree, players completely eliminate the squishiness traditionally associated with glass-cannon critical builds.

3. The Secondary Essential Upgrade: Severance (Weapon Enchantment)

While Levity revolutionizes armor mechanics, Severance serves as the definitive sword enchantment for combat fluidity.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                        SEVERANCE ENCHANTMENT                          |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| APPLICATION:       Applied directly to Steel and Silver Swords        |
| FUNCTION:          Extends the reach of Whirl and Rend combat skills  |
|                    by a massive physical margin.                      |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

[ Standard Whirl Ability ] ──> Short Melee Radius ──> High Risk of Interruption
                                                              │
[ Severance Enchanted ]    ──> MASSIVE WHIRLWIND RANGE ───────┘

Extended Whirl and Rend Reach

Equipping Severance on legendary blades like Aerondight or Grandmaster Steel Swords increases the physical radius of the Whirl fast attack skill and the lunging range of Rend. Geralt can spin through entire packs of drowners, bandits, or Nilfgaardian soldiers from several meters away, hitting multiple targets before they can close the distance to land a counter-strike.

4. Combining Runewords with the Euphoria Mutation

To achieve true god-tier status in The Witcher 3 Remastered, the Levity Runeword must be paired with the Advanced Mutations System unlocked during the Turn and Face the Strange quest in Toussaint (Blood and Wine).

====================================================================
                EUPHORIA MUTATION MULTIPLIER TREE
====================================================================
 System Component           Functionality / Output
 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Toxicity Threshold         Raised via Acquired Tolerance & Heightened
 Decoctions Consumed        3 to 4 Active Monster Decoctions (e.g., Ekimmara)
 Euphoria Buff Rate         +0.75% Attack Power per Toxicity Point
 Max Attack Multiplier      UP TO +210% TOTAL DAMAGE INCREASE
====================================================================

5. Step-by-Step Guide: How to Unlock the Runewright

Unlocking the Runewright requires significant Crown preparation and specific quest progression:

                    [ Donate 15,000 Crowns (Tier 3 - LEVITY UNLOCKED) ]

1. Finance the Merchant: Travel to the Upper Mill fast travel point in Eastern Novigrad.

2. Complete Jade Mining: Retrieve the required Jade block from a nearby cave guarded by arachnomorphs.

3. Invest 30,000 Total Crowns: Pay the three investment tiers (5,000 -> 10,000 -> 15,000) to unlock Tier 3 Master Runewords.

4. Apply Socket Crafting: If your armor chest piece lacks 3 open rune sockets, pay the Runewright to add socket slots before applying Levity.

Alternative Armor Enchantments: When to Use Entanglement or Protection

While Levity is widely considered the absolute best offensive/defensive hybrid upgrade, other specialized Runewords offer niche strengths for specific character builds:

====================================================================
                SPECIALIZED RUNEWORD ALTERNATIVES
====================================================================
 Runeword Name         Ideal Build Type            Primary Effect
 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Levity                Fast Attack / Hybrid        Converts Armor to Light
 Severance             Whirl / Rend Combat         Extends Sword Skill Range
 Entanglement          Yrden / Sign Specialist     Spawns Yrden Trap on Hit
 Protection            Defensive / Casual          Free Quen Shield on Fight Start
====================================================================

• Entanglement: Ideal for pure Sign builds using Grandmaster Griffin gear. When an enemy steps into a alternate Yrden trap, an additional Yrden trap spawns directly at their location.

• Protection: Automatically casts a free Quen shield upon entering combat without consuming stamina, providing a safety net for defensive playstyles.

Conclusion: The Ultimate Crown Investment

In the vast landscape of character progression inside The Witcher 3 Remastered, no single upgrade delivers the raw mechanical power, versatility, and build-breaking efficiency of Levity. By allowing players to blend heavy plate armor survivability with light armor critical lethality—and pairing it with Severance and Euphoria—Levity stands undisputed as the single most important upgrade on the Path.
