5 | You can choose to keep the cards, giving you no XP, or take some coin instead, giving you 150 Crowns and 80 XP. |
There is no way else to obtain these Gwent Cards. With 2 of them being Hero cards, it is very worth it to keep them.

Yep. The gwent cards are so worth it. Better to keep it than to take the money. Nowhere else to get these cards but this quest.
