1. Grandmaster Legendary Forgotten Wolven Armor
This particular armor set is arguably one of the best the game has to offer and has a level requirement of 40. This set was introduced in the next-gen version of "The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt," according to Game Rant
If you wear all six pieces of the armor set, which includes two swords, you can stack additional bleeding damage on a single enemy based on your accumulated adrenaline points.
The Grandmaster Legendary Forgotten Wolven Armor can be acquired by completing the "In The Eternal Fire's Shadow" quest and unlocking the associated scavenger hunt for the armor diagram.
2. Grandmaster Griffin Armor
The Grandmaster Griffin Armor is suited for players who enjoy casting signs a lot throughout their playthrough. The full set lets you cast a standard spell for free within three seconds of casting the previous spell. On top of this, it has a passive that buffs the Yrden spell by increasing the diameter of the trap.
