Keep Iris and your Grandmaster bonuses in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Iris is one of The Witcher 3's more memorable swords, but carrying it can mean giving up the advantages of a carefully assembled Grandmaster gear set. ShaneWatson33's Grandmaster Iris offers a way around that tradeoff, allowing the weapon to count as a steel-sword piece toward several Witcher armor sets. That means Geralt can keep Iris equipped while still working toward three-piece or six-piece set bonuses.

The system can also contribute to mixed sets, and the creator says it works alongside Grandmaster Aerondight for additional set-count flexibility. Iris's weapon statistics remain unchanged, so the benefit comes from equipment synergy rather than a stronger sword. Two presentation variants are available, but only one should be installed. The release targets The Witcher 3 Remastered v5.01 and includes an English-only tooltip addition.
