Diagrams for "set" armor parts & weapons like Wolf School Gear, Griffin School Gear, Cat (Feline) School Gear or Bear (Ursine) School Gear are usually well hidden in chests, etc. deep inside dungeons or in a hard to reach areas so it is very hard to discover all of them by simply exploring the game world.
But some of the merchants found in the game sell special maps or notes which can help you. When you buy and read such map or note, it will start a "treasure hunt" quest so it's much easier to find the treasure becouse you can turn on map markers for such quest.
Any of the following notes starts the corresponding quest to find improvement diagrams (Parts 1 - 6) as well as the quest to find diagrams to make all the parts of the starting / basic wolf school gear.
For safekeeping, Elgar hid his improvements to the School of the Wolf's equipment in multiple locations. One set he hid in an underwater cave beneath a castle in central Velen. Another he left in a cave to the south of Oxenfurt, while a third he placed in the elven ruins found on a small isle in southern Velen.
It seems Elgar hid some upgrades to his gear in the area around Kaer Morhen. Some he hid in the deepest cave he could find, the one in the northern portion of the Kaer Morhen valley. Others he hid in the abandoned, crumbling watchtower in the same area. Still others he placed amidst the rocks on the shore of the valley's lake.
Elgar hid further improvements to the equipment used by the School of the Wolf in various regions of the Skellige Isles. He put some in a wooden fort in southern Ard Skellig. Another set he hid in the ruins in the western portion of Hindarsfjall. A third stash was hidden in the burial mounds found in western Ard Skellig.
Elgar placed upgrades to School of the Wolf witcher gear in three different caves in the area immediately to the south of Kaer Morhen. He hoped future generations of witchers would find them in an hour of need.
Elgar hid improvements for School of the Wolf gear in various corners of the world, so that witchers could make use of them on the Path. Some he hid in elven ruins and a sunken ship in the south of Velen.. Others he put in a hideout far to the south of Oxenfurt.
Some of the improvements to School of the Wolf gear are hidden in the Skellige Isles. Elgar left them in the central part of Ard Skellig and in the ruins of two watchtowers: one on Undvik, one on Spikeroog. He wanted them to be available for witchers who need them and are clever enough to find them.
