Feline Boots are the Basic tier of the Feline (Cat School) boots, light witcher gear from the base game. They give 43 armor and +5% attack power at level 17. Their diagram is on Mad Kiyan's body, in the laboratory under Temple Isle in Novigrad. These boots reach the mid game.

They also give +1% piercing, +2% slashing, +1% monster and +4% elemental resistance. The set bonuses boost fast attacks and rear attacks. Together with the attack power, they suit a fast attacks sword build.

Set Bonus

The Feline set is light armor. It has five tiers: Basic at level 17, Enhanced at 23, Superior at 29, Mastercrafted at 34 and Grandmaster at 40. The 3-piece and 6-piece bonuses come from Grandmaster pieces worn as a school set. 3 pieces: a strong attack raises fast attack damage by 10% per set piece worn, for 5 seconds. 6 pieces: rear attacks deal 50% more damage and stun the target, at a cost of 1 adrenaline point.

Feline Boots Map Location and Quest Guide

The Feline Boots diagram is on Mad Kiyan, a witcher found in the laboratory under Temple Isle in Novigrad. The pin marks the hidden cave that leads there, the armor stop of Scavenger Hunt: Cat School Gear. Kiyan also carries the armor, gauntlets and trousers diagrams.

Buy one of Adalbert Kermith's maps to start Scavenger Hunt: Cat School Gear. The first and second are sold in Blackbough, the third at Crow's Perch and the fourth in Lindenvale.
Go to the westernmost house on Temple Isle and drop from the rock ledge on its west side to the grassy path below.
Follow the path to its end and use the Eye of Nehaleni to reveal the cave entrance.
Kill the golem that guards the main chamber.
Take the tunnel opposite the entrance to the room with the statues. Pull the levers until every statue faces the center of the room.
Kill the three drowners in the pool that opens, then dive to the bottom for the laboratory key.
Return to the main chamber and open the locked door with the key.
Defeat Mad Kiyan at the far end. He uses Signs such as Quen.
Loot his body for the Feline Boots diagram.
