The new update for GWENT: The Witcher Card Game is now available on PC, Xbox One and PS4!
With this update, our main focus was to change cards with the Create ability, as well as to adjust the Swap mechanic. Detailed update overview can be found here.
The following cards will have increased value for milling for 3 days following the release of the patch – until Friday, May 25th, 12 PM CEST (noon):
- Stribog Runestone
- Zoria Runestone
- Dazhbog Runestone
- Devana Runestone
- Morana Runestone
- Black Blood
- Slave Driver
- Elven Scout
- Winch
- Doppler
- Elven Wardancer
- Vrihedd Vanguard
- Olgierd von Everec
- Dun Banner
- Brouver Hoog
When milled, the cards on the list will yield an amount of scraps and powder needed to craft a card of the same value.
