Dragon Age Inquisition Craft Armor With Slots

This is a crafting guide for Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The best armor for Dragon Age Inquisition is Superior Battlemage Armor for the mage, Battlemaster Armor for the DPS warrior, Refined Battle Master Armor for the tank warrior and the Superior Prowler Armor for the Rogue class. Armor is great and necessary but you need offense too. Take a look at our best staff list in Dragon Age Inquisition. For Dragon Age: Inquisition on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Crafted Armor/Weapons have no slots?' After forming the Inquisition, you can your smith to craft armor and weapons. The smith can also craft weapon and armor upgrades which can be positioned into certain slots. To include essential results to your armor or upgrades, you need to discover a dwarf called Dagna. The schematics needed to make equipment are divided into 3 tiers.

There are 2 utility slots and an “offense” slot connecting to one “main” (perhaps metal of the blade?) one, with a “special” star slot on the top. The third picture shows that weapons can have more than 3 stats, the difference between a rare (blue) and unique (purple) weapon.

There are two things you can equip and craft; weapons and armor. Most armor you get from loot, but there are some crafted armor with two upgrade slots; arms and legs. Both slots add stats directly to base armor. On the other hand, weapons can be upgraded via the grip/haft, pommel/blade, and runes. Weapon upgrade slots add stats directly to your base weapon except for runes.

Runes provide enemy specific attack bonuses. Strike the wrong enemy and you won’t get much benefit from them. Elemental runes have the broadest scope of enemy types, and are generally the best type of runes to get. Dragon slaying runes, on the other hand, are the worst because they target the most uncommon enemy. Spirit runes can only be used on staffs. If you use daggers, esp if you are a dagger rogue, you should use demon slaying and corrupting runes to optimize your attacks.

To craft an armor or weapon, you will need schematics. Each schematic has two to four mat slots, each unique. There are four types of mat slots, and some are more useful than others. Here they are, in order of importance:

· Damage / Armor

This slot is unavoidable and should always be your priority. Adds directly to base weapon or armor.

· Offense

This slot affects critical damage, armor penetration, etc. Certain cloth and metals increase attack percentage directly. You need to always be mindful of when you get those crafting materials, and where to craft them on.

· Utility

These can increase primary attributes, but you need to be mindful that certain crafting materials are best for certain classes. Utility: X cloth is for mages, leather is for rogues, and metal is for warriors.

· Defense

Self explanatory.

In general, the priority in crafting items is increasing attack ability. How to increase this differs with each class, but to put it simply, the increase in defense isn’t as useful in this game.

This is how you maximize attack ability in a crafted item specific to each class:

Mage: Focus on magic and willpower, and prioritize willpower. These are only found in Utility X Cloth slots, and when possible, its best to stack them in one slot.

Rogue: Priority is Dexterity, followed by Willpower. Use Utility X Leather slots where Dexterity is available, followed by Utility X Cloth. Stay away from Utility X Metal.

Warrior: Priority is strength and willpower, which are equally effective. Use Utility X Metal for strength or Utility X Cloth for willpower. Avoid Utility X Leather.

Go through the list below every time you have a new item to craft, to figure out what attributes to prioritize.

· Offense: X Metal/Cloth – +attack % Only found on weapons and weapon upgrades.

· Class Specific Utility slot – see above

· Utility: X Cloth – +Willpower

· Offense: X Leather – +flanking damage %

· Defense: X Metal – if unavoidable, go for +max health or +melee defense %. Only found on armor and armor upgrades

· Defense: X Cloth/Leather – if unavoidable, go for +magic defense % or +ranged defense %.

“Dragon Age: Inquisition is the biggest RPG of the year, and I don’t just mean that in terms of hype and expectations. I mean, it is literally the biggest RPG of the year in terms of size and options available to you in this fantasy world. BioWare has gone off the deep end in terms of how open-ended an RPG can truly be, and it has a new trailer to explain its weapon system to you.” –Ron Duwell

IMO: This is looking promising. In the first picture we see what weapon categories we are going to have available. From left to right: One handed weapons, two handed weapons, staves, dual wield, and finally ranged. But that’s not really the interesting part of this. On the right we see under the weapons damage, rating (common, rare, unique, etc), and item level, there are three stats the weapon provides. In the second picture, we see that there are three crafting components connecting to a “main” component. There are 2 utility slots and an “offense” slot connecting to one “main” (perhaps metal of the blade?) one, with a “special” star slot on the top. The third picture shows that weapons can have more than 3 stats, the difference between a rare (blue) and unique (purple) weapon.

IMO: In this picture we get to see a little of the armor selections. Along the top we see that there are light, medium, and heavy armor variants. Anyone familiar with RPGs will be familiar with this. More interesting is the fact that we see the armor having five stats, 2 up from weapons. Below the stats, we see a that the armor has Firewalker Freezing Prowler Arms and Icewalker Absorbing Prowler Legs. I want to dissect this just a bit. I have a hunch that each term will refer to something you may alter on it. Firewalker may mean +20% fire resistance, where Icewalker may be +20% ice resistance (notice the higher numbers for each in the stats above). Freezing may add even more ice resistance, and absorbing is perhaps what is adding the magic and melee defense, with the prowler suffix being visually what the model is for the armor. Does this mean armor is one cohesive unit, and not separated into the more traditional choices (chest, hands, legs, etc)?

IMO: Ahhh finally a decent, high quality image of a portion of the skill tree. It looks like the bonuses from DA2 are in, where when you spend a point to learn a skill, you may spend another on the skill (if it has the option, shown by the smaller icons around it) that change and enhance the specific skill in particular ways. This was easily my favorite part to class customization about DA2 and I am very glad it has returned. MAGE TREE PLEASE.

IMO: You know, I just wanted to show this beautiful interface. It’s clear, concise, simple, and modern. I really enjoy the color palette they went with, and I love the easy to distinguish color differences between your shitty and not-so-shitty items. I really do love it.
