Dragon Age Inquisition Masterwork Crafting and Gearing Guide!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 дек 2014
- This guide is going to assume you know nothing at all about crafting, and build you up from the basics to advanced details about what is what, and how to put together a Masterwork equipment!
The most powerful armor and weapons are not going to come easy in Dragon Age Inquisition. And even some of the best pieces of gear you find for loot, still have room for improvement with upgrades to stats and looks!
That's where Masterwork crafting comes in. It gives you the power to create the perfect weapon and armor in the style you want, with the stats you want, and the badass rune effects!
If you haven't figured out by now, almost all gear is random. From the corpse on the ground, to the chest sitting at the bottom of the dungeons. The good news though is that even if RNG hates you, there's always merchants that will sell you weapons, armor, schematics, and crafting materials. It's not top of the line, but it'll help you fill in the gaps in your arsenal if you really want it.
Once you have a schematic you want, it's time to hit the blacksmith area. Four benches: Craft Armor, Craft Weapons and Modify Armor, to Modify Weapons. At the crafting stations, you'll fill in the material slots with items you've scavenged and gathered in your journeys.
Each slot in the schematic represents a type of improvement to stats like Offence and Defense. Using metals, leathers, and cloth bring a wide variety of stat improvements based on the type of armor or weapon, that can boost for example your maximum health or critical hit chance.
Want to take it a step further? Insert a Masterwork material for an added bonus effects. Once your piece is crafted, runes are also a great way to add even more damage! Even if you don't use a masterwork material or have runes to apply, you're still likely to have access to upgrade schematics for your weapons and armor. Handles for your weapons and arm guards can also be crafted at the stations for your armor sets and weapons to provide more ways to customize and add more power to your gear!
When it comes down to getting the best gear for your character, the only limitation is: "How far are you willing to go for it?" I spend hours on farming materials, studying the crafting tables, and analyzing stat combinations to learn how to make gear. This video is the short cut to getting all that info, and on your way to battlefield faster with better gear!

2021 and we keep kicking, the game is 7 years old now.
Quarantine has made DAI my escape ...to the Hinterlands!
game still fire tho 😂
I just started this week love it! Wish I played years ago.
Hell yea. Havent played in a few years. But just about to start up a new play through as a warrior since my last 2 play throughs were as a mage and as a rogue.
I'm actually in my first DAI playthrough right now. I'm in love with it.
For anyone watching now, who's new to the game, there are a few other places to get fade-touched materials. One of the most sought after materials is Silverite, as it adds 5 Guard on every hit. If you have the Descent dlc, there's a Descent war table mission that's repeatable. It gives Silverite and it also gives fade-touched Silverite, at a ratio of about 1 fade-touched Silverite every other mission. Sometimes it gives 2! The mission can only be accessed at the war table in the 1st Deep Roads camp, not the war table in Skyhold. It can also only be done by Cullen, so make sure he's free. It also requires an area to be opened up and this area is deep within the Descent dlc, so it's not easy access. The mission itself only takes 33 minutes. Thus, after just a few hours play, you should have all you need. If you have the Trespasser dlc and activate 1 or more trials, you will start getting 'special shipments', in a chest in Skyhold. Much of the time these will be random fade-touched materials. The more trials you have active, the more often they will appear. You can also get Masterwork materials from Bonnie, the Orlesian merchant, once she's moved to Skyhold. Just check her stock regularly and she'll occasionally have a Masterwork item. Lastly, for those not averse to using an exploit... chests, loot piles etc. will replenish, as long as you don't completely empty them. Most will replenish randomly but for certain items, including fade-touched materials, they will refill with the item removed. Just remove the fade-touched material, leaving everything else, go to a completely different are/map. Upon return there will be a new piece of fade-touched material, of exactly the same type. Repeat as necessary. It's rare to find fade-touched materials in chests etc, so keep an eye out for them and don't automatically click 'take all', without first checking. You can also do this with tier 3 schematics but it's random which tier 3 schematic you get and most visits there will be either random loot, or nothing at all. Just re-visit regularly and always leave 1 item in the chest/container etc. The best place to do this is the Cradle of Sulevin, as it contains many containers which could generate a tier 3 schematic. Thereby increasing your chances of getting one each visit. Hope all this waffle helps someone. :)
This deserves a pin at the top! Thanks brotha! 👍
Can u get special shipments without having any trials activated? I havent unlocked Skyhold yet but i keep getting a ! pop up in my house at the special shipment chest at the starting town everytime i return there. It even gets highlighted when u hit search but there havent been anything in it so far.
@@Shiftry87 The icon shows always, when you get a shipment you will see a message to the left of the screen and the icon will be yellow, like quest icon before you mouse over them, and without trials enabled you may get a couple but are scripted and have specific items, for instance I started a playthrough without any trials and after defeating the pride demon when you wake up in your room, I got a shipment with 3 avvar armors, then when I hit lvl 7 I got another shipment with schematics for those same armors, don't know if there are more shipments like that but maybe, for random items and materials tho you need trials enabled
You can farm some of the rifts in frost basin if you haven't cleared them and leave 1 item leave the area repeat if you forgot look at a rift map
thanks mate legend
Ayone else playing DAI in 2019 because it was on new year sale for 10 bucks?
i remembered that i could destroy weapons to get materials but now i dont know where to do it. Or i was thinking about wrong game?
@@hoanganh-dx3qz wrong game
£7 here in the UK with every add on. Can't beat that shit for value
Bought it for $4 in Indo here, got 20 hrs gameplay but still don't know what I'm doing LOL
Next to Witcher 3, DAI is one of the best rpgs over the last decade. Just started a new game with a Qunari rogue.
I know these videos are a tad old, but I'm only just getting into dragon age inquisition and I can't tell you enough how helpful all of your videos have been. RPGS used to be very daunting to me, so it feels good to be able to understand all of the different components of the game in a way that doesn't make me feel foolish for not knowing these things already. Thank you SO MUCH Kinetic!
YoshiLover122 I feel the same way looking up his builds has helped me a hell of a lot
YoshiLover122 same here played many rpg like baldurs gate diablo and skyrim but got really confused in this game and baffled by how many things there are to do and theese vids help a looot i mean inmesurably alot i felt as a fool playng this game now at least im getting it and at last it is not a daunting endeavor anymore
Really like the game I am playing it for a long time. This game still surprises me.
Davio Davinci I know exactly how you feel lol:)
YoshiLover122 I'm a pro at this gAme I have every trophy i have everything
Enchantment? Enchantment!!!
I always found him creepy
Whatchy’all talkinbout 😂
I love Sandal so much
Benny Brown old origins days
That was origins lol
We are in December 2018 and I’m still playing on this amazing game.
So many possibilities to play very differently.
What a great game i love it 🥰
On sale as of December 2019 for 9.99 with all the DLC included.
@@VGHistory1 Speaking of bargin. Still keepin its multipled value back in 2020.. 👍
Some special features of crafting is the ability to remove class restrictions on armors. Snofleur skin (Leather) and Silverite (Metal) in the primary slot will remove the class restrictions. Mages will be able to wear medium or heavy armors, rogues can go heavy, and warriors can do medium.
This is especially good for two handed warriors since medium armors tend to offer more +crit%, +attack%, and +critical damage% than heavy armors.
So those two materials can do that? How is this found out because I have missed it. No wonder I knew about this but never saw the materials if they were in front of me all this time :D
Hey any idea where I can farm some crap ton of snoufleur skin ? I love the look of the prowler armor :D Al tho the AR might be crap,I hardly have the attention on me,Cass just takes a good beating.
Btw,the cloth equivalent would be Dales Laden Wool.
Manu Ram I think Exalted Plains is a good place for that. Do not quote me on that though.
Jenkkimie Just got a load of it yesterday :)
So you're missing the slot in your schematics? Sounds like you haven't done the War Room mission to get the dwarf chick that unlocks that customization.
What mission is that??
Saad Sohail Arcanist Dagna is her name and you can do the War Room mission as soon as you get to Skyhold. Look on the Ferelden side of the mission map. It's in the top left.
Saad Sohail The operation is Acquire the Arcanist in North-West Ferelden on the war table.
To bad this game is short. I loved every moment of it, but if you JUST do the main missions, its over fast. you HAVE TO involve yourself heavily into closing rifts, and doing side missions.
Overall I loved the game, and am sad its over so fast, and the ending was disappointing. felt rushed.
harley martynec yeah its in a cave. forgot which one. just to the "duplication" glitch. look it up on youtube, and get as many as you need. :O)
playstation store sold this game on black friday for $9.99, I couldnt pass that up. I was kind of lost but found your channel, thank Andraste! Very informative and helped me out quite a bit!
Thanks for making the effort.
Dude you are just about my favorite go-to for help in this game, you explain things so thoroughly and thoughtfully, and it goes a long way that you're really nice and genuine about it, with a light sense of humor and never condescending. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this video. I was so confused as to how upgrades worked but thanks to this I think I have a better understanding of it. :D
Thanks for this fantastic guide Kinetic.
Clear voice and instructions.
Stumbled on your channel man, your content is ace and has helped me loads with dragon age. Keep it going
Great videos, clearly explained and very informative. Thank you for the time you've invested in making these, they have helped me enjoy the game so much more! :)
Damn, this game still rocking. 2023 still playing it
Your videoes are really well made and informative! Keep up the good work! :)
The unique weapons do seem to drop from specific bosses. For example, the templar and Mage mini-bosses you fight in the hinterlands always drop a specific unique weapon.
2024 and I still come to your vids for information
hey man we love your rambling videos. you're the best resource for this game you don't need to apologise for the way you make your videos, they're awesome.
Thank You,
your info is very informative
we appreciate your hard work!
Thank you! New to dragon age so this is very helpful.
Nice video, just started this game and it’s awesome. Can’t wait to make some nice gear now!
2024, 10 years later and I just love playing it
God damn man, you weren't joking about the rambling. Thanks for the video, it is good.
Hey kinetic nice videos. It's been helpful since I got back into the game, and trying to beat it.
I'm so glad i found your channel, Subscribed buddy!
This game is eternal of how epic, awesome and replayable it is ❤️
Don't know why I waited so long lol but I'm just now playing this game. Absolutely fantastic so far. Side quests are a bit dull but everything else has been very solid.
Thank you this guide help me so much. You got yourself a new sub
Good info, clear and well presented, thank you
Great video man! Ty!
A small remark here. When you talk about the materials affecting DPS, you stated that Rare materials can increase the DPS of a weapon beyond what it normally should have. That is wrong. The tooltip stated your axe's damage as 215 - 273 because you do not have enough Dragon Bone to get the 289 DPS. If you do have sufficient Dragon Bane, the tooltip will say 215 - 289.
Long story short: the tooltip states the DPS you can get with the materials you have in your possession, and only the materials that you have sufficient amounts of. You didn't have enough Dragon Bone, so it did not count that.
Brilliant guide!
Just started playing this today.
Great video, thanks. I've been doing it all wrong until now. 😃
thanks for the help everything is clearly explained
Great vid series KGTR! Best early set I've made so far is for mages - farmed snofluer skin for a warden hunter mail. Snofluer has no class requirement so mages can use it for medium armor. Only neg is that you can't use arms/legs for it. Almost 200 armor at level 13 - keep up the good work and enjoy!
Nice guide. Thanks a lot!
This was really helpful!
I really like the crafting system, and it was a bit confusing. Tnx for the guide, it was very helpful!
thx for all your vids, dude
Kenetic, Im new to your channel. like the DAI vids a lot as I have limited evening time to play (fam and all). You do a great job explaining and your gameplay after the explanation helps as well. Keep it up.
Tanks so much man! That's it!
Thanks for posting this video i looted also the bags so i got allot of good crafting material,maybe about 20 schematics and 11000 gold without selling the rare items i also took, the commends in this video where also very helpfull
very nice explained every question i had
just for the people who want to know, at the war table "gather leather" with leliana for great bear hides, since they're not so commonly found.
Very nice video thanks !
Very helpful, thanks!
Everything sounds more epic with the DAI theme in the background.
I just crafted a Sturdy Battlemage armor that I crafted entirely out of Dragon and Fade touched materials, and the masterwork material was Fade Touched Silverite that adds 5 guard every time I get hit, I am now the Ultimate Knight Enchanter Tankquisitor!!!
helped a ton, you're awesome :)
Thnx man ! You're vids are really helpfull... mez in my 20th hour of play and soooo much to figure out, and your vids are very very helpfull :)
yesss thanks a ton i needed this
also where do you get some good t3 armor/weapon schematics?? i got a t3 greataxe one from a wartable mission but i need others and all my armor is bad
Tsunayoshi Sawada The merchant in Hissing Wastes,and get the perks from the Connections tree in the War Table.Val Royeaux is also a good spot.
Tsunayoshi Sawada The Grey Warden schematics can be found in the Dalish camp in the Exalted Plains.
Back here in 2022!! This game still holds up amazingly.
I love your vids man, lots of help fr ok m this video
Fade-touched metals can be picked up from nodes of that same type. Fade-touched cloth is found in loot just like other clothes, and fade-touched leather can probably be found on animals, so you get the blue mats from the same source as the whites.
Hey thanks a lot! I had totally missed the part where the number of mats for a slot caused that other stat to rise by that number. Lucky I'm only level 10.
thank you very helpful.
I've had this game since it was on 360'. Still trying to get through it. I enjoy everything but the battle for some reason.
Nice character name. I use Draven for my alt warrior build and Raven for my main mage name.
When you made the "Precise Dirk" I suddenly thought "He should rename that dagger to the Precise Dirk Diggler...heh.
I've found fade touched iron two times in home location at very first levels, just after waking up. First time uphill from siege weapons, second hear hut where you need to search for notes for alchemist. It's very rare, once for 200-300 minings of iron veins, so if you see iron or any metal - grab it even if you have 200 of it, there's a
Here in 2023 playing through again!
Dalish scout armour is my favourite, it looks really nice and has 246 rating! ♡
mmmmm.. dailish bread!
Thank you man
Just found out I can use the master element to "add 3 guard on hit" to my rogue daggers. Now I have two aoe daggers, one with add 10 stamina and the other with add 3 guard, both are 330 DPs.
Currently I activate poison, stealth into twin fangs, flanking move (activates stealth) and then deathblow. This combo generally wrecks about anything I come up against. If it doesn't the poison takes em out and I also have full guard built up.
A rogue with guard and assassin spec is unstoppable right now. just my 2 cents.
sweet, figured out how op guard is on rogue/mage by accident when I enchanted sth with the wrong masterwork yesterday xD
so you'd say this is to have instead of the potential 4 extra hits?
@@plottwist3364 remove the 10 stamina and add the hidden blades instead
One simple correction in case nobody else has pointed it out. The DPS range doesn't include the DPS if you were using Dragon Bone because you don't have enough Dragon Bone to achieve that level of DPS. The DPS range shown represents what you can actually make based on what materials you actually have.
Someone might have already pointed this out already, but at 10:15 of the video when you're showing the DPS of the 2 handed axe (215 - 273) the only reason why this range hasn't expanded to 289 is because you didn't have all the dragon bone pieces necessary for the weapon. Not because is goes "above and beyond the normal restrictions the weapon should have". Awesome video though man, just wanted to make sure that was pointed out.
If you want to farm fade-touch metals you can go to an area where the metal is abundant (like the last dragon nest in Emprise du Lion for that Silverite who gives +5 guard; save, clear the area, and reload your game if it didn't popped.
I thought it would be determinated by the game when you load the zone but it it's randomized when you pick it actually ^^ (all the time i lost travelling back and forth lol)
Would be very nice if you could post DAI gameplay , cuz your guilde showed what a blast it will be to watch you play it ! Liked and Subed :D
I love you guides , it really helped . After watching I was like, holy shit so that's how u do it . Btw can I request a guide for the job artificer ? I think that one is kinda fun but don't really know how to go about it .
The damage range is actually based on two things. If you noticed in the damage slot there is a number (22) which means you need 22 iron for example and the more that number is the more damage you can produce. The second is if you have enough higher tier material than iron. So if you have 22 obsidian material then your range would be 100 - 190 or somethjng and then as you get more dragon bone material - 22 for example - your range will jump to 280 something. So damage depends on material and how much the weapon needs of material.

If you add an AOE effect to one of your daggers, the poison stacks on every enemy that was hit by the AOE dmg. Pretty nice crowdcontroll for a single target assassin.
Incredible. I understand crafting so much better now. Thank you!!
This game is finally available this year in our country! I’ll start streaming it from tonight just to have fun !! No clue what to do though
Back from epic game giveaway. Anyone here in 2024?
Yeah. Just cheat engineered my gold to 9999999.
Yep. But then felt like this game is a very slow game which is perfect to play while laying down so I bought it on steam summer sale for my steam deck. (Heroic can't install the game from epic due to the stup EA launcher)
Hey man thanks for all your vids! They're very informative.
What is Cole's helmet called? I Like that look! Was it a random Schematic or can it be purchased?
i love dragon age!
Great guide :) subbed for more.
I just started playing this game again and was wondering of the tips mentioned in the video is still relevant after the few patches which have been released since the video came out?
mikkdc yup it's all still relevant
Alot of unique items are locked in place,
There are unique wep. And armors that you get from dragons like the in peace, vigilance
my character is named Draven too that messed with my mind for a second.
If you do have silverite ,snoufleur skin,dales loden wool you can wear any armor you like.
Rogue Crafting Guide:
2 Dragon Bone Daggers with Hidden Blades masterwork on both.
Armor with Chain Lightning masterwork.
Done. Nothing else matters.
Solo the rest of the game.
On Normal or Nightmare?
I did most soloing on hard with frequent use of various grenades(jar of bees works wonders), when I tried nightmare it quickly became apparent why tanks are needed.
Scrub
thanks
Rambling is good because you're talking and giving alot of info also wanted to know
Subbed
Sending Leliana to collect leather (at war table) will always give you 6x great bear hide. which, if i am not mistaken, gives you the most crit hit chance +
Fade touched materials can be picked up from mining ores. Earlier today i was playing and i mined some veridium and got my first fade touched ore, later on i picked up more fade touched materials from looting.
I played DA:I years ago and didn't like it. Now i gave it another shot and can't stop playing xD
As a mage: highever weave, plaid, and deepstalker hide together looks amazing. It's not great with stats, but just for looks, it's great. It looks very Witcher.
ye but u can tint your armor for looks
Didnt learn anythign new which is good, looks like the game provides you with the information you need on its own ;) GREAT video though. My problem with the AWESOME crafting system is that it makes loot useless.For example, made 1 shield 1 weapon and 1 armor at lvl 10 , all tier 2, no masterworks.They are still better than all the lvl 15 uniques I find!!
Yeah mate 2021 I'm 44 playing bow dwarf rogue, he's pretty awesome in nightmare
P's a tip I have for getting master work on all crafted items is to save before yu craft and use a their 4 masterwork item that has a 40% to master your weapon of mass creations if it didn't master work it load it again and repeat till all stats for it are up by 10% ;)
FYI I have obtained Fade touched crafting materials from picking up items from the world. Fade touched Iron, Obsidion, from just standard mining.
masterwork materials can be purchased by the merchant at skyhold with a perk for better stocks, the merchant randomly stocks 1 masterwork material.
Remember the most slots not always best gear, two things to consider when comparing schematics is (1) type of slot compared to what you actually trying to buff and (2) will it take upgrades when completed.
Masterwork chances are preset so save before crafting and use low level materials and count how many times it takes before success, then reload and use rubbish until you get to the one you know will succeed. (Can also Identify materials not to use at all) ie if it takes 3 great bear claws then two heartwood before a master work on testing you will know never to use great bear claws and use junk to craft with first heartwood and then use good materials for second heartwood. Seriously consider if masterwork 10% worth it over some of the fade touched abilities, 1-2% on a few stats and 20-30 armor on a backline character not as good as most of abilities you can slot
What's the best or favorite schematic you've found so far in Dragon Age Inquisition?
My favorite item is my unique Bleeder of Souls dagger.
Hey man thanks for the video. Do you know if getting a base stats is better than getting points in utility? For example, getting flat hp v constitution. Do you know how much one point in constitution adds to health?
***** You CAN remove the class restriction on the armors by using a tier 3 metal in crafting, like silverite for example... those rare materials will let you wear armor your class normally can't.
I think a few additions could be made:
1.)
Ok, the way i see it DPS is a stat that confuses people. DPS is mainly what you get when you persistently hack and slash at a target with the left mouse button auto attack and it is therefore a severely overrated stat. DPS is Weapon Damage adjusted for swing speed.
What you find directly below the DPS stat is the Weapon Damage stat and that stat determines how much damage your weapon will actually do per hit. Now the way I see it, what carries you throught the game are the active skills. All of them, even Whirlwind, have a huge % modifier that scales of Weapon damage.
As far as I know their execution animation does not scale with swing speed, and even if that were the case, seeing as they cost the same resources and have the same cooldowns, wether it is a nimble sword or a mighty hammer you wield in your hand, so there seems no incentive to prioritize DPS over Weapon Damage.
[Ok ok you got me. If you play a build that relies on executing the standart attack very fast to deal damage - like you have a pincussion fetish or Gathering Storm - you get some more out of the DPS stat. I personaly do not feel that building around those talents is either strong or a lot of fun though.]
2.)
It should also be mentioned that with all items you craft, that each 1 piece of iron ore gives a certain Number of DPS in a recipe. The more of that ore the recipe uses, the more powerfull the product will be. This extends to the offense, defense and utility slots too. Provided you have the necessary quantity of an item, the more resource the recipe demands, the more powerfull the crafted item.
That however doesnt mean that you should discount what SLOTS the recipe actually offers. I mean, what good would a bow with constition and stagger on hit do a build who has choosen to profit from talents created by critical strikes? Choose wisely. Also some recipes do not produce Items that you can attach Upgrades too. You might want to check into that before klicking that button.
3.)
The basic stats and their roles are maybe confusing to some players, so giving a quick guide to help you out with making the right choices seems a good idea: You are a party of 4 with specialized rolles and talents, act like it and plan accordingly. Its cool to give your archer an armor with high melee defense, but he is more likely to pull aggro from a ranged enemy than to be meleed. Include this in your priorities when you chose what materials and upgrades you use.
Armor simply subtracts a fixed number from the initial hit. A physical 100 Dmg hit on a 75 armor Target does 25 Dmg. This Damage is then adjusted for melee or ranged defenese. Magic bypasses Armor, thats why there are resistances in the game. Do not focus on those specific boons unless you cant absulutely beat a certain elemental dmg user.
Silverite, a rare tier 3 Metal allows you to craft Armor without class restrictions. That allows your mage access to recipies that do not only provide good defenses, but previously not accessible combinations of utility/offense/defense slots.
Strength
0.5% Attack (Warrior only)
1% Guard Damage Bonus
Dexterity
0.5% Attack (Rogue only)
1% Crit Damage Bonus
Magic
0.5% Attack (Mage only)
1% Barrier Damage Bonus
Cunning
0.5% Crit Chance
0.5% Range Defense
Willpower
0.5% Attack
0.5% Magic Defense
Constitution
5 Health
0.5% Melee Defense
If I might be so blunt: Disregard the Attributes Strength and Magic. They only provide their respective class with attack power and their 2ndary effects on guard and shield. You have powerfull tools at your disposal that allow you to remove barriers and guard in a flash (Shield Bash and Dispell / Spell Purge come to mind), these bonuses are not worth it, especially when you look at how good the other 3 basic stats are.
Fortunately for us dragon age offers quite a lot of possible and creative solutions for builds and party lineup and what Ive said so far might go against what you determine good under those circumstances. But from a cookie cutter Knight Enchanter run of the mill male human inquisitor perspective, this seems like the way to go.
Enjoy your epic adventures folks!
***** agreed about the armor restrictions
I like your warrior cloak thing, I have a female qunari and I've never found anything like that.
Iv heard that if i get hidden blades on armor it only activated when i am hit, if thats true does it apply on 30% focus gain too? Do i need to get hit for the masterwork on armor to be usefull?
U can get that armor in val rouxal in a store u should be able to find it pretty easily u can also get the helmet there.and u can find the original warden armor for mages warriors and rougs on the dales in a deailish camp
