Manticore Gauntlets

Manticore Gauntlets are the hand armor of the Manticore School gear, added with the Blood and Wine expansion. They are medium armor for an alchemy-focused Geralt, and like every Manticore piece they raise maximum toxicity by 5.

Manticore gear has no lower tiers. It exists only at grandmaster level, so a single diagram leads straight to the finished piece. Wearing three pieces lets critical hit chance and critical damage apply to bombs, which are also thrown without delay, and six pieces add one extra charge to every alchemy item.

The rest of the set: armor, trousers, boots, steel sword, silver sword.
