Oil Preparation

Hunter Instinct is an Alchemy skill in The Witcher 3 Remastered in the Oil Preparation branch with 3 levels at 1 skill point each. It opens once any one of Refreshment, Efficiency or Frenzy is learned. Each level also raises potion duration, up to +6% at level 3. It works only while equipped in an open skill slot.

As a green skill it multiplies the bonus of a Lesser green mutagen, Green mutagen or Greater green mutagen slotted in its skill group, and fits the Strengthened Synapses slots opened by 6 mutations with green among their colours.

It leads to Acquired Tolerance.
