One of the best early-game armor sets for Sign-centric builds in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the Griffin School Gear Set, and its superior variation, Enhanced Griffin School Gear, is perfect for transitioning one’s build into latter-game content. In addition, this equipment offers bonuses for those donning three pieces to six pieces of the entire set. For example, players who wear three pieces of Griffin School Gear can preserve more Stamina when casting Signs. As for six-piece wearers, the armor set increases the size of the Yrden trap and provides a powerful buff to Geralt whenever he is within its radius.

- Summary:
- Set some time after the events of The Witcher 2, The Witcher 3 centers once again on the monster-slaying Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher on the hunt for his adopted daughter. The Wild Hunt are a group of ominous elves that are seen as an omen of war – their purpose is to find and capture individuals to serve them. Unfortunately for Geralt, his daughter, Ciri, is their new target due to her Elder Blood. When Geralt receives a letter from his former lover, Yennefer, they reconvene to meet with the Emperor of Vizima, who reveals the truth about Ciri. With new information at his fingertips, Geralt sets off in search of her to reach her before the Wild Hunt does. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s world is filled to the brim with quests for players to take on as they upgrade their weapons, learn new spells, and hunt massive monsters while searching for Ciri’s whereabouts. The game is considered to be the most successful in the franchise, and a remake of the first title in the trilogy was announced to be in development utilizing Unreal Engine 5.
