Why lvl 30 for NG+ ? It's a legit save ( no mods/ console commands/ glitches used ) for ppl who just want play the game directly from NG+, on DeathMarch starting NG+ at lvl 30 makes the game considerably more difficult and also much more fun, with this save you will not lose anything important please read bellow for full INFO.
What is the benefit of me starting at lvl 30 NG+ ? So lvl 30 NG+ is lowest possible, anything lower the game will auto make you lvl 30 when you start NG+, and the benefit is increased difficulty and more build variety, at this lvl you can even make a "Piercing cold build" because enemies do not have ridiculous sign intensity.
In my opinion this is a TRUE WITCHER save, Geralt deserves to start with all this because he is already a experienced witcher, the ability tree is unlocked at lvl 30 and the NG+ difficulty synergizes everything surprisingly good, making this a true witcher experience, specially for the ppl want try something new and experiment with awesome builds that were not possible before in NG+ were you start at lvl 50+(piercing cold damage can actually kill enemies now), this was a personal choice and I like the idea to farm end game relic swords/sets that are better than treasure quests gear(relic gear scales to your lvl or near your lvl). This save gives you something to farm in end game and this was one of the reasons I made it.
The choices I made and what to keep was also to increase difficulty and give myself something to farm, to make the NG+ feel like a "new" playthrough, + some personal choices.
SAVE INFO:
~ MUTATIONS unlocked (no skills acquired you will have to farm for them on your own)
~ 61 Ability points ( ALL Places of Power in base game (Cerys path included) + DLC + Magic Acorn consumed)
~ Geralt is naked with 0 crowns and no valuables (Game will give you again Kaer Morhen armor set and silver sword upon starting NG+)
~ Alchemy Recipes unlocked but not crafted, useful for acquired tolerance (quests recipes are erased auto by the game when you start NG+, quests recipes you will receive them in NG+ also),
unlocked recipes(excluding quests): 37 potions, 36 oils, 28 decoctions, 24 bombs, 12 alcohols & substances, 24 mutagens
~ Doppler/Succubus/Ancient Leshen/Troll mutagens (to have options to spare this monsters and also have the mutagens in NG+)
~ 4 Golem hearts, 3 troll livers and 4 troll hides, I consider this "rare" items also
~ EXTRA: Manticore set+swords+5 Great red mutagens+ a black dye+ bathhouse clothes (dropped in vizima legit) for the lulz, you can remove this items if you want it was a personal choice to carry on NG+, choose manticore set because is only set that has a unique look on normal base game.
As you noticed here are some missing stuff, such as quests items like gaunter o'dimm reward (you still get Full viper set on NG+ and Iris sword, you just dont have gaunter o'dimm reward fk the devil rewards anyway), the warble of a smitten knight reward and maybe others which can still be obtained in NG+ but not theyr counterparts if you choose a different path during this quests, I decide to keep this save as realistic is possible because Geralt is not a time traveler, my other save mod has this items though but no mutations unlocked, there is a limit you can do in game without mods or console commands and keep geralt at lvl 30 max, this is a LEGIT save and I did everything possible in the game limits. In the end as DEVs mentioned witcher 3 was meant to be played only once, NG+ is still buggy to this day and not meant for the true experience, this save will make it feel like a NG start and not so much a NG+ OP start, in my opinion everything is balanced for a realistic witcher book experience.
