Rewards[]

Completing the collection yields:

200 Influence

Notes[]

There are a total of 22 banners and crowns; however, with the addition of the Spoils of the Avvar and Spoils of the Qunari DLCs two additional banners can be found.
Note: The collection counter can include both DLC banners despite neither being part of the original 22. Hence the counter can reach a total 24.
The Dwarven Banner and Crown can be collected twice from two separate locations and will count towards the total allowing for a total count of 22/22 whilst still missing two banners or crowns from the collection.^{[confirmation needed]}
With Patch 1.07, any banner pieces rendered otherwise unobtainable by the Inquisitor's choices can be purchased from the Skyhold Customization Merchant in Val Royeaux.

Bugs[]

A known bug prevented the Inquisition Banner Crown from being acquired, either due to prematurely collecting an item on the Storm Coast, or claiming keeps in the wrong order. The bug was partially rectified with Patch 1.07; however, with the installation of Patch 1.10 the bug was no longer reported as an issue.
