Griffin Gauntlets

Griffin Gauntlets are the basic hand armor of the Griffin School gear. They are medium armor, and the bonus to Sign intensity suits a Geralt who relies on magic.

They are needed to craft the enhanced Griffin gauntlets. The matching chest piece is the Griffin Armor, and the set pairs well with the Griffin Steel Sword.
