Grandmaster Ursine Armor

Grandmaster Ursine Armor is the chest piece of the grandmaster Bear School gear, the highest tier of the set, added with the Blood and Wine expansion. It is heavy armor built for a tanky build that takes hits and fights back, and its headline bonus is +22% Adrenaline Point gain.

Compared with the Mastercrafted Ursine Armor the armor rating goes from 205 to 240. Since patch 4.0 the recipe needs the mastercrafted piece, so the whole chain of Ursine armor diagrams is required. The rest of the grandmaster set: gauntlets, trousers, boots.

The matching blades from the same tier are the Grandmaster Ursine Steel Sword and the Grandmaster Ursine Silver Sword.
