Griffin Steel Sword - Mastercrafted is the Mastercrafted tier of the Griffin School steel sword, a witcher gear item. It deals 284-348 damage at level 34 and gives +20% sign intensity. Its diagram lies in the ruins east of the Boxholm signpost in Skellige. It comes late in the game.

The sign intensity makes it a fit for a signs build, the role the whole Griffin set leans toward. It also gives +25% crit damage, +5% crit chance and +5% bonus experience from humans and nonhumans. It has 3 rune slots.

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 3-piece and 6-piece bonuses come from Grandmaster pieces worn as a school set. 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, and inside the trap stamina regeneration rises by 5 per second, sign intensity by 100% and damage taken drops by 20%.
