Upgrading gear in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is essential for surviving tough encounters across Velen and Novigrad. The Enhanced Griffin School Gear offers a significant power spike for Sign-focused builds, increasing Sign intensity and stamina regeneration. Tracking down every diagram requires exploring ancient ruins, cemeteries, and monster dens scattered throughout the map.
Where to Find Enhanced Griffin Armor Diagrams
The chest piece diagram for the Enhanced Griffin armor is located at White Eagle Fort, situated west of Oxenfurt Harbour. You will find the chest resting inside the fort, right next to a friendly rock troll named Trollololo. Fortunately, looting the container will not make the troll hostile toward Geralt.
To locate the gauntlets diagram, head south of Fyke Isle to the ruined cemetery in Frischlow. Be prepared to fight off noonwraiths guarding the grave sites before securing the chest. The trousers diagram is hidden within a burned-out building northeast of Crow's Perch. Finally, the boots diagram can be found inside an old ruin north of the Inn at the Crossroads.
Locating the Enhanced Griffin Sword Diagrams
Finding the Enhanced Griffin Steel Sword diagram requires traveling to a bandit camp located west of Midcopse. Clear out the hostiles occupying the area to claim the crafting plans safely from their loot chest. The weapon serves as a great upgrade for early to mid-game combat scenarios.
For the Enhanced Griffin Silver Sword diagram, start at the Ancient Oak and follow the dirt road directly south. Look for a large cave guarded by a high-level bear along your route. Defeat the beast using Igni signs or dodge past it to retrieve the diagram sitting at the back of the cave.
Crafting Requirements and Preparation
Once you gather all six diagrams, you must visit qualified blacksmiths and armorers to forge the set. Crafting any piece of Enhanced Griffin armor requires the basic Griffin counterpart as a foundational component. Make sure you keep your original gear stored safely rather than selling it to vendors.
Additionally, you will need various crafting materials such as hardened leather, meteorites, dimeritium ingots, and monster parts. Utilizing Sign-heavy combat strategies will maximize the set's inherent bonuses once fully equipped. Upgrading your gear promptly ensures Geralt remains combat-ready against high-tier threats.
