The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt · Ability progression
Ability Point Sources
The source lists leveling, Places of Power, and named consumables as sources of ability points, and also notes New Game+ point sources.
How it works
The abilities passage lists one point per level, including New Game+, and one point per Place of Power, also including New Game+, with 30 Places of Power total. It additionally lists the Magic acorn as granting 2 points, the Golden egg as granting 1 point, and redoing Turn and Face the Strange on New Game+ as granting 1 point. The passage does not give acquisition locations for these items.
