      You can get super op in the Hinterlands. In Valammar, there is 1 chest that can drop T3 scematics. If you leave 1 iteam in the chest and come back it will have new items. Do that a few times and your whole party can have all tier 3 weapons and armor.

      @@NorthernKindness It's in the last Room in Valammar, which you open with the 2 dwarven gears and you have to fight all those darkspawns. There is 1 chest slightly hidden on the right side of the room (where all the darkspawn are coming from), which can drop T3 schematics. If you leave at least 1 item in that chest (and this is true for every chest) and come back, it will reset. I found the easiest way to farm them is leaving Valammar after clearing everything and when you come back save the game before opening the door to that room (this time you can enter from the other side). The content of the chest is determined the moment you enter the room so you just load the game until you find what you are looking for. Then exit Valammar and do the same again until you are satisfied.
      Just remember that once you take the last item it's empty forever, so when there is only 1 schematic and nothing else you have to decide whether that schematic is worth it or not.

  • @americansulla9637
    @americansulla9637 7 лет назад +17

    Use the Golden Nug as soon as you get to Haven and get all of your schematics from previous playthoughs. In my head canon, my character is a dealer in rare schematics who went to the conclave to do business and his company is called "The Golden Nug" explaining why he has all of these. Let's say you are a Knight Enchanter. You can go around Haven and kill rams for a while and then take on the druffalo and get more leather. Most staffs require cloth, but not the Wrath of Lovias schematic. It only requires metal and leather which you can get at Haven without going anywhere else. You can also set up Cassandra with a good weapon and make daggers for Varric while farming Haven. Once you get to Skyhold, if you have previously done the Jaws of Hakkon, you go to that area. You can avoid everything, go to Stonebear hold, get the quest and buy a Crossbow add in for Varric that gives him 180 dps which makes him playable with Bianca.

      Sjard Willems v if you've already beat all the dragons once with one of your characters and beat the game in general, you can get the chromatic great sword schematic for any one of your warriors (does elemental damage as well as physical damage) and have the trespasser dlc (I think) an get the roll ability for a warrior and get the upgrade that does 250% weapon damage and I just kept on doing 2500 elemental damage along with 2500 physical damage, so a total of five thousand damage. But, as I said, to get it early on for any of your characters would require you to beat the game and kill all the dragons, get the schematic, and probably have the trespasser dlc (pretty sure that's it). I was able to kill the dragon in the very first place at level four.

    If you want to level up quickly go to the fallow mire and just fight the undead don't deal with any of the fade rifts and don't do any quests there just fight the undead and you level up pretty quickly.That is one of the fastest ways I've found to level up fast.

    @naB4o0o 4 года назад +10

    As someone with 1000+ hours in the game, I can tell you how to be overpowered pre-Skyhold:
    1: Farm critters for mats: rams, fennecs etc. and craft gear for your entire party. This is the single most important thing.
    2: Pick the proper spells and talents: you cannot beat Nightmare + Trials early without Dispel and Barrier; crowd control abilities are important as well.
    3: Master combos: the bonus combo damage is essential early. Combos are done with Primer + Detonator. Make sure the detonator ability comes from a class different from the one who primed the target (ex: Winter's Grasp from a mage as primer, Long Shot from rogue as detonator).
    4: The defense of Haven is the hardest part before Skyhold. Do that mission with 2 mages who have Barrier OR 2 tanks.
    If you do the above well, you won't feel pressured to rush to Skyhold and therefore having a bad time during the defense of Haven due to lack of spells/talents. My personal suggestion would be around levels 7-9.
    Congratulations. You just beat pre-Skyhold on Nightmare + Trials without issues.

      @PatrickFariasxxx 3 года назад

      After lvl 10 in the game, everything becomes easy, the problem is probably because people who are new to the game, don't know the resistances of the enemies, I always give my mages skills based at fire or ice, after skyhold, dorian doesn't even need fire skills anymore, I use him as a full support and upgrade the first 2 ice skills, blackwall as a tank and any rogue I feel I want in my party, I usually play as a two handed reaver, I don't even pause the game, I do it sometimes but only when the IA mess up something, like the rogue or the mage being near the enemy and taking damage.

    I almost always end up overpowered before Skyhold. I tend to complete every area, one at a time, collect every herb and ore... pretty much everything I can find. I send armor, upgrades and arms I don't use to the to the valuables and sell it. My current playthrough has been odd.... I had to intentionally avoid upgrading my gear much to give myself a challenge, so I bought schematics but not the materials (also because money is difficult to come by but that's a different problem). By the time I went to the Hissing Wastes and reached the dragon, I was... about 2 levels bellow what the dragon usually is without the trials (because I play with trials), and Blackwall pretty much held on alone against it. Once I had an opening, I did resurrect the other characters but because I couldn't be bothered to fight the dragon for literal hours upon hours. I also remember my first mage build - a Qunari Knight Enchanter. I pretty much single-handedly killed dragons.

Ne and Cassandra were regular knights so we absorbed a lot of damage while buffing the party, I upgraded solas so that he can revive dead player from far away and grant some protection upon revival. Also upgraded the slow heal potion for the melees in my party and had lyrium potions for solas.

    I have to correct you on something. Fade touched item effects do not stack unless you use 2 different tier versions of them. For example... Fade touched silverite 5 guard on your armor. And fade touched silverite 5 guard on your weapon. You still only get 5 guard per hit. The only way to stack the effect is if you use 2 different versions of the same effect. For example... If you use 10% chance to trigger hidden blades with four hits and stack that with 10% chance to use hidden blades with five hits, then and only then, can you get the 20% chance activation. Although it's 10% chance for each version of it. Doing it this way also gives you a chance for both to activate at the same time or back-to-back. Giving you nine additional hits in the combo. The only way to stack the guard affect is if you use fade touched silverite plus fade touched obsidian. Then you wind up getting a guard / hit. If you use weapon shield and armor for the fade touched obsidian plus the fade touched silverite and there is also a fade touched item that gives to guard her head then you can get tengard per hit. If you use two dual blades plus armor for a rougue. With hidden blades 3 hit combo plus hidden blades for hit combo plus hidden blades 9 hit combo then you can get a 30% overall chance of activating hidden blades with a chance to activate all three at once or back to back in the same combo adding up to 12 additional hits. Personally I would go with hidden blades chain lightning and 5 guard on a rogue. If you activate the chain lightning there's a chance that it can activate the hidden blades affect. Plus chain lightning will stun the enemies. I'm currently running a qunari mage. I will make her a night in chancer using mass attacks such as area effects chain lightning immolate and fully upgraded Winters grasp which is called Winters chill in addition to ice wall firewall and stormbringer so that I have the best chance to cast hidden blades on my attacks and I will have her with fade touched silverite on her armor. this way I can damage groups while also swinging my spirit blade between Magic attacks. I will do massive damage to groups of enemies and have a high activation rate for hidden blades with five extra hits. If you are running a rogue there is a DLC that provides a fade touched silverite with a chance to cast chain lightning at 100% weapon damage for the base version which is four hits. There is also a fade touched item in that same DLC that offers a chance to cast hidden blades with 6 extra hits. If you put these on your Rogues weapons with fade touched silverite 5 armor per hit then you can truly be unstoppable. Put those on a shield Warrior and they will be unstoppable. You only get one of each of those fade-touched items though so don't waste them. If you are running to robes I would make a dual blade with each attack affect and use the storage chest with the duplication glitch so that you can have two tier 4 dual blades one with chain lightning 100% weapon damage and one with hidden blades six hits on both of your Rogues. The DLC for those fade-touched items is the one where you look for what happened to the first Inquisitor. You also fight an ancient ice dragon that gives you unique tier 4 materials. Also once you've unlocked an area that has tr3 materials you can simply buy those at the black Emporium. In addition once you have defeated a dragon you can buy TR4 Dragon materials at the black Emporium a maximum of 100 bone 100 scale and 100 webbing. Once you defeat the ice dragon in the DLC I mentioned you can buy up to 90 ice dragon bone up to 90 ice dragon scales and up to 90 ice dragon webbing. the tier 4 ice dragon materials are similar to The tier for Dragon materials except where the dragon materials offer fire resistance the ice dragon materials offer ice resistance. I'm not entirely certain what they offer for all sense or utility but I recall they are geared toward Warriors stats.

    Since skill masterworks don't stack I would recommend either 1 4 hit hidden blade or something else of your choice. the invicibility skill ones wouldn't be a bad choice either. Also, the snow fleur hides are good to farm for leather armors defense early on as well. Also, drops may be lower before level 16, but for gear the slow farm can be well worth it if you are struggling with tier 2 crafting mats. You can also farm more tier 3 schematics in emprise du lion if solving the tomb puzzles isn't your thing. I didn't have any trouble with this game at all until I got to the trespasser dlc, but I was also under par on level requirements and gear.

    The Hissing Wastes is not available to be unlocked right away once you reach Skyhold. This video was made nearly a year and a half ago. Did this "exploit" get patched out since then?
    Edit: It would have been much more helpful to mention up front that you need 20 power to unlock the "Stop Venatori Activity in the West" in order to access "The Hissing Wastes" instead of misleadingly giving the impression that it's simply available right away once you get to Skyhold.

    Legion of the Dead Armor can only be used by Dwarf Warriors, unless you make it out of Silverite. That material removes the class restrictions for armor types, so you can make a suit of heavy armor out of silverite and give it to a mage. Otherwise, the only person who can use LotD is the Inquisitor if they're playing a Dwarf Warrior.

    I'm sure you know this by now but, for the people who don't, masterworks of the same tier do not stack. Masterworks of different tiers do stack, however. What I'd recommend on DW rogues is Hidden Blades, 5 hits and 7.5% damage per nearby enemy/Hidden Blades, 4 hits.

    Here is some feedback and hopefully it is helpful information. I think you are trying to help new players but from my perspective you are talking way over the head of any one who is not very familiar with this game. While I’ve played DA, DAO and now this game, it’s been several years since I played the last one which was DAO. Here, I had no good understanding of what you are talking about until I was well past this point of “early in the game”. If you are going to try to help others you really should be much more explanatory in your discussion so you don’t lose your audience. Here are some examples.
    This is “early on” in the game as discussed at around the 1:00 mark? I was thinking I had some problem with my game. It took me several days to get to Skyhold. Three hours? Maybe for somehow is not new to the game but I was still trying to figure out many things so I had no clue and you provided no explanation. You then mention taking “your sweet time” with maybe five to seven hours. Again, it probably took me well over 50 hours of exploring and trying to figure things out before I unlocked Skyhold. I was actually hoping to be OP “early on” as I was struggling with areas in the Hinterlands and this video didn’t help, since this really is addressed at areas accessible well past seven hours for new players.
    You said “the very first thing you can do is get your specialization” @ 1:20. I have no idea what a specialization is and still don’t. You should not assume anyone new understands what statements like this means.
    You said “The very first place you want to go is the Hissing Waste,@1:30 you can unlock this “right away”. It was never stated this would only be available once the player gets to Skyhold. I thought it was literally “right away” but it’s not. You even said “you might be level 9 or 10” and you seemingly don’t realize that takes a new play a long time to get to this level. It was frustrating because by the time I did get there, I really didn’t need to be OP any more. The game was no longer than hard at this point.
    Then you go into why these are good for certain classes, and tier levels but again forget a new player may have no idea what you are talking about. You said the game will be “official” broken at 3:35 and “I’ll explain that.” What is “official” and you never did explain this statement.
    At 5:00 you talk about the “short list” and another video but I had no idea again what was involved here, how it relates to other perk choices and what Superior BattleMaster amour with “cross-classing” was. I understand that perhaps you explain this in another video but it’s important to have some idea what this means in this video and it would have been helpful to take a few more seconds to explain what you are talking about. Again, you are talking way over the head of any one who is not very familiar with this game.
    At around 7:45 you talk about getting more metals at level 16. I have no idea why one gets more metals at this point. I’m not level 16 and no idea what this means.
    And the cursing. Perhaps your audience doesn’t mind but if you want to appear more polished and an authority, consider talking like you would to your parents. I find the cursing very off-putting and childish.
    Anyway, I hope this is helpful and respectfully stated. Once I was much “later” in the games some of it made sense.

      The Elgar'nan Enaste, from the Trespasser DLC. You can upload the schematic to the Golden Nug to use it in the beginning of a new game. Its damage level is just a bit less than the Lyrium-Infused Bow, if I remember right, but the Enaste's arrows explode upon hit, granting it extra damage. I crafted mine with dragon bone and gave it a Superb Corruption Rune, and would get absolutely ridiculous DPS.

      He's right, the Elgar'nan Enaste is the best. Because you can do so many different kinds of damage with it, that it makes up for the loss crit damage on the Masterwork Spiked, Swan Bow or Grunsmans or however it's spelled. It also procs pincushion. I can do over 4k with one basic attack. Add that on top of Hidden Blades and superb lightning rune, and you're doing stupid amounts of damage.

    People complaining you level up too slow. This isn't Skyrim guys, you have to make your perks count and do all the content. It might be tedious but you feel like a badass when you are finally able to take on the more challenging areas. I like how enemies aren't scaled to your level, people say that makes the game too easy or hard. No just go to the right areas and complete that stuff before doing other areas you don't need to be killing dragons or red Templars at level 7. I hate how Skyrim makes most combat areas too easy also I hate how Oblivion makes combat areas harder when you level up because the loot and shops don't have good enough items to account for the giant health bars that constantly stagger you even when you have 100 agility and endurance Oblivion throws at you, that's not progression. This game gets combat, ability usage, squad Ballance and player progression right in my opinion

I am on nightmare and was playing a mage but I'm thinking I have to restart now because I am stuck at the templar mission that requires you to spin the Trebuchet wheel and I don't have any saves that I can go back to before the mission so I have to make a new character.

      Orlando Vazquez when you get to a certain level the specialization trees open for all characters. The inquisitor is the only character with an option as to what s/he will become. For example: Iron bull is always a reaver, cole is always an asassin, dorian is always a necromancer. Each class has 3 choices for specialization. You get to choose whether your inquisitor has the same tree as anyone else. It’s very cool.
