Artificer is a rogue specialization in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Description

From "Of Mechanical Obscura." The words of Three-Eyes make one passage stand out:

"What can this be?" To ask that question is prove oneself a craftsman, one who looks upon the raw and wonders what it can become. The Artificer is not of that ken, for she will look upon the same resource and wonder not how it can be elevated, but how it can be made to serve. There are no more words necessary.

Multiple schematics follow.

From Codex entry: Way of the Artificer

These specialists control the battlefield with deadly traps. Neither they nor their explosive mines are ever where the enemy expects them to be.

Acquisition

This specialization is obtainable through the Quest Way of the Artificer, obtained from Three-Eyes. After acquiring the following, Three-Eyes will teach the Inquisitor the specialization.

  • Writing on artificer (available from either Varric *on the table next to him in Skyhold* or the book merchant in Val Royeaux).
  • Three alpha quillback spines (found at Nazaire's Pass, The Canyons, and near Old Prison Road in the Western Approach).
  • 20 obsidian.
  • Materials to construct tools.
