14 DAY TRIAL // A series of pretty good tips concerning the crafting mode in Dragon Age: Inquisition have just been shared by developer BioWare, in order to help owners of the sprawling role-playing experience come to grips with making their own equipment, armor, weapons, or gear.
Dragon Age: inquisition launched back in November of last year and delivered a great RPG experience that allowed fans to enter a complex single-player story campaign, not to mention a highly addictive multiplayer mode.
Crafting is integral to Inquisition
Both experiences have pretty complex crafting modes that allow players to create their own equipment, instead of relying on what they find throughout the game's epic locations.
In order to help players come to grips with the complex system, BioWare has created a nifty little guide with tips on how to make the most out of your precious time in Inquisition.
"With so many different recipes, schematics, and materials available to you in Dragon Age: Inquisition, there's no shortage of helpful items to be had. With just a basic understanding of how Inquisition's crafting system works, you'll be creating spectacular gear in no time."
Plenty of helpful tips are shared by BioWare
First up, the studio advises players to check up on the different stores scattered across the game's world, as they can easily purchase some crafting materials from them, without having to rely on foraging through the countryside. The most powerful materials are Tier 4 ones and those only drop from dragons, so use them wisely as there is only a certain number of these beasts scattered across the game's environments. What's more, when you do go dragon hunting, use weapons with dragon-slaying runes for maximum efficiency.
When crafting armor or weapons, players are advised to look more at the stats obtained by using certain materials, instead of trying to use the most expensive or powerful ones. Armor for followers look a certain way on each of them, so bear that in mind when trying to play dress-up with your companions. Also, try to make armor with upgrade slots, to further improve it.
Besides crafting new potions, players are advised to upgrade them to increase their efficiency and power. Resistance potions in particular are a great investment, especially when going up against dragons or other powerful enemies.
Crafting in Inquisition is quite important but it's not crucial, so those not willing to spend time in it can bypass it, as plenty of great gear can be found in the RPG's levels.
