Enhanced Griffin Gauntlets are the Enhanced tier of the Griffin School gauntlets, medium witcher armor from the base game. They give 41 armor at level 18, with +6% sign intensity. The diagram lies just south of Frischlow in Velen, guarded by a noonwraith. They are mid-game gauntlets.

They also give +2% piercing, +3% slashing, +2% monster and +6% elemental resistance. Compared with the basic Griffin Gauntlets, they add 14 armor and raise sign intensity from +5% to +6%. The sign bonus suits a signs build.

Upgrading from the basic tier keeps their glyphs.

Set Bonus

The Griffin set is medium armor. It has five tiers: Basic at level 11, Enhanced at 18, Superior at 26, Mastercrafted at 34 and Grandmaster at 40. The set bonuses come with the Grandmaster tier. 3 pieces: after a sign cast with stamina, the next sign within 3 seconds costs no stamina. 6 pieces: Yrden traps are 40% larger, and inside them stamina regen rises by 5/s, sign intensity by 100% and damage taken drops by 20%.
