Grandmaster Griffin Armor is a medium witcher chest armor from Blood and Wine. It is the Grandmaster variant of the Griffin Armor. It gives 240 armor and +22% sign intensity at level 40. The diagram is in Moreau's hidden workshop under Mont Crane Castle, found during Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Griffin Gear. It is late-game armor from Toussaint.
It also gives +19% piercing, +17% bludgeoning, +24% slashing and +26% monster resistance. The set bonuses give free follow-up Signs and a stronger Yrden trap. Together with the sign intensity, they suit a signs build.
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. 3 pieces: after a Sign cast in standard mode with stamina, the next Sign cast within 3 seconds costs no stamina. 6 pieces: Yrden traps are 40% larger. Inside the trap, stamina regeneration rises by 5/s, sign intensity rises by 100% and damage taken drops by 20%.
