Enhanced Griffin Boots

Enhanced Griffin Boots are the upgraded footwear of the Griffin School gear, the second of the base game’s four levels (basic, enhanced, superior and mastercrafted). They are medium armor built for a Sign-focused build, and their headline bonus is +6% Sign intensity.

The next step is the superior version, which needs these as a component, and the line ends with the Grandmaster Griffin Boots in Blood and Wine. Compared with the basic Griffin Boots the armor rating goes from 31 to 45. The rest of the enhanced set: armor, gauntlets, trousers.
