    Spoiler sections are just to break up the text for easy navigation and sectioning, I do not believe anything in this guide is a real spoiler.

    I was adding a comment to the other guide here but it ended up being longer then their guide so thought id add it as its own guide (sorry redface):
    As the previous guide said a good place to grind this is "Devil Pit" in Velen. Fast travelling to Vezima and back to respawn the bad dudes.
    WARNING! This will stop working if you loot the chests in the devil pit as it will no longer be an active bandit camp!

    FYI, Non Humans is the collective name used in game for Elves and Dwarfs so this is not referring to Monsters.

    Use strong bolt that don't have a side effect

    This one is not hard, just repetative.

    1. Get yourself a bunch of bolts (the higher the damage the better) and a "potion of clearance".
    2. Use the potion and max out your crossbow tree under "Combat Skills" (Its the second one from the right). After maxing that one, put a point into your armor school and "Steady Shot" under the "General" tree. Using this will maximize your damage output with your crossbow.
    3. Head to "Devils pit" in Velen, head into the camp and hit the bandits until they are low.Now for the tricky part, hit them in the head and kill them with your crossbow. Aim somewhere around their hair line to be sure you get the head shot.
    4. When all the bandits are dead (be sure not to loot any chests or such) just head up and fast travel to Vezima and back, the bandits have now respawned. Repeat until you are done.

    As mentioned this aint to hard just repetative and rather slow.
    A useful tip if you find yourself geting swarmed. Head out the way you came. The bandits can't leave the camp. So you can stand on the other side of the wooden doorway and just take your time aiming and they will never reach you.
