Dragon Age Inquisition Masterwork Crafting and Gearing Guide!

[@Codex7777]

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. :)

[@Grizzleback07]

This deserves a pin at the top! Thanks brotha! 👍

[@Shiftry87]

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.

[@alejandrobarboza2431]

@@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

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.

[@Jenkkimie]

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

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.

[@SnowYugioh]

What mission is that??

[@KineticGTR]

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.

[@uncledaydays]

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.

[@uncledaydays]

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)

[@AquilaGuard]

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.

[@STR33TSofJUST1C3]

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.

[@KineticGTR]

What's the best or favorite schematic you've found so far in Dragon Age Inquisition?

[@chrismdavis2009]

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?

[@eji]

***** 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.

[@Rakschas666]

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!

[@Bcadet00]

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.

[@Hissingace110]

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.

[@traviswilson1993]

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.

[@Roseyfinchartworks]

mikkdc yup it's all still relevant

[@hossam86]

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.

[@nothankyoutube]

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.

[@sKaXz]

[@phillipscott7049]

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

No its just a really rare item, Tier 4, that allows me to create above and beyond the allowed amount" That isn't correct! The reason it doesn't say "215-289" is becuase you only have (8/ out of 22) and therefore are Unable to Craft with that Material! & if you get 22 of that material it will then say "215-289"

[@Jerokhna]

Fade-Touched resources are Masterworked resources with the critically higher version of it's normal stats.

[@serNevh]

The best possible creatable weapon IMO is a Masterwork Tier 3 schematic crafted with dragon bone, with the upgrade that increases stats by 10%, go with as much critical chance and critical damage as possible. As for armour you'll really really want a Tier 3 Masterwork or ordinary Heavy armour crafted for all non-warrior classes with Silverite warriors go with dragon bone and then use the fade touched silverite upgrade. if you are in the early game just after getting to Skyhold, then I'd strongly recommend getting 20 Inquisition Attack and then going to Emprise du Lion, if you can manage to kill the red templars at the first camp you'll get access to silverite but if you find it too tough just go with the leather from the pigs at the frozen lake both silverite and the leather from the pigs allows any class to use the armour which if you play a mage is invaluable.

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)

[@sirkingpanda1909]

Just saying this. I don't know if people know about this but if you use sliverite in any armor it can cancel all class restrictions. Not to sure about which slot but I think it's the main one.

I'm new to DA:I I've only been playing about a month and a half now and I still have two MAJOR Masterworks crafting questions which you never even touched on in this video: 1 - WHEN in the game can I start crafting Masterworks items? 2 - WHAT is the purpose/use for the Masterworks Crafting Items like Dragon Tooth 40% and bear Claw 30% and other such similar categorized items of lesser percentages? 2a - I'm presuming that there is a Masterworks Item Crafting FAILURE possibility based on the percentages listed in Q#2; so, what happens to all of the crafting materials that were attempted to be used when a Masterworks Item Crafting attempt fails?

[@avp3player1]

I have many questions. For one. Does putting the "hidden blades" fade-touch material masterwork ability on my staff work when I use spirit blade? I'm running knight enchanter and trying to make the highest dps masterwork staff. I've heard it can proc when I'm using the staff but I've found nothing about it working with knight enchanters spirit blade. Can ANY masterwork fade touch material ability work on ANY weapon/armor and ANY class/character?

[@Miketo2000]

Actually, some items are not random. Equipment drops from dragons are predetermined (the amount of crafting material you get is random though), the loot from the tombs in the Hissing Wastes are pre-set, etc. The loot system is a mixture of RNG in most cases with a number of predetermined drops for certain items.

KineticGTR I thought you said they were completely RNG, sorry if I heard wrong. It just made it sound like there were no predetermined loot. Some unique items or certain schematics will always be found from that certain enemy or in that certain chest. No worries, just a slight nitpick that I thought should be clarified. In most cases, it is RNG, so not much of an issue.

Miketo2000 Even if the loot is predetermined from some chests and enemies the stats on the weapon/armor may vary. even the amounts of a certain stat may vary, such as Cunning +3 or + 5.

[@cokeglas]

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.

[@bigSwigsofGuinness]

They aren’t normal restrictions on the DPS... it simply shows the range of what you can craft with what you can craft... you didn’t have enough Dragon Bone in stock which is why the range was only 215-273 and not to 283

[@StuartKerrison]

Great video, thanks. I've been doing it all wrong until now. 😃

[@vonblunder]

Good info, clear and well presented, thank you

[@lofi-smofi8582]

Incredible. I understand crafting so much better now. Thank you!!

[@Dillon_J]

it should be noted that for the fade touched abilities you dont need to be the correct class to get the benefit of it.

Just a comment, about your "fade touched" items only showing up through looting the actual item, the iron is that looting a chest in your example while talking about that, your character finds "Fade-Touched Lustrous Cotton" (at 3:17) just Sayin'. Love the Vid, thanks for this!

[@Swennie1976]

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 :)

[@YunoAz]

In 10:40 you explain that the crafting screen doesn't display 289DPS as the upper bound due to Dragon Bone being an extremely rare item. That is actually incorrect. It does not display simply because you do not have a sufficient amount of the material to use it for that slot.

I believe the thing about the one-handed melee is that while axes and maces have more damage output they are slower to swe=ing kinda like skyrim

[@TheTimmotei346789]

Yeah mate 2021 I'm 44 playing bow dwarf rogue, he's pretty awesome in nightmare

[@jongallivan7164]

very nice explained every question i had

[@MrZannak]

I was looking for info on effects from the masterwork items.. Like Fade-Touched Dales Loden Wool gives you: 30% focus gain + 10% chance to drop Caltrops on a hit, doing 70% weapon damage per second .. Does the Caltrops only apply on rogue's or any class? Or only on rogue's who have that skill unlocked? Please clarify

[@MegaMightypower]

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?

[@dempslupino4631]

I get so carried away killing things and collecting shards, gathering resources that I forget to make armour and weapons. I have tonnes of schematics and I'm a little lost on and behind on it all and don't know what to do with it all. I'm confused. but your video helps. I look forward to seeing more DA videos from you. You got a sub and a like from me. On my first playthrough I done In Your Heart Shall Burn and it sort of messed up. What should I do before doing that quest?

[@jacxelcorrea5837]

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

[@yukimieshatorresnia9938]

only other way that i know of to get more fade touched materials is probably the black emporium which is free to download by the way sry typos
