The Commander's Plate armor set is a massive armor set in Dragon Age: Origins. Because the pieces are random loot, it is a rare item set and can be easily missed.
Acquisition[]
The set pieces can be found as random loot in several specific locations (Ferelden treasure, boss rank). Since all pieces are random loot, make sure you save before entering each area as this will allow you to try again in case the armor pieces do not appear.
Dragon Age: Origins[]
- The chest that contains Eamon's Shield in the Redcliffe Castle vault, first accessible during the Arl of Redcliffe quest. It is possible to get two of the three pieces of this set in this chest at the same time.
- A cabinet in Bann Franderel's Estate during The Tears of Andraste sub-quest of the Crime Wave quest line.
- Fort Drakon during The Battle of Denerim. The chest is in the last small room right before you get to the room with Sandal.
- During Return to Ostagar DLC, the two crates near the second exit of the map after the bridge and before the Tower of Ishal.
- In the closet that contains Howe's Shield in the treasury of the Arl of Denerim's Estate during Rescue the Queen. Also inside a chest in the first four rooms of the same location.
- A chest in Dane's Refuge, before the destruction of Lothering.
- A chance to drop from Raelnor's corpse after you defeat him during the A Change in Leadership quest from the Blackstone Irregulars.
- The chest near Branka's Journal in Ortan Thaig, first accessible during the A Paragon of Her Kind quest.
- In a chest across a river in the Korcari Wilds (see Commander's Plate Boots for details).
- A chest in the Deep Woods while on the quest Jowan's Intention.
- A charred corpse in the last room of the orphanage during the quest Something Wicked in the Denerim Alienage.
Note: The drops of the charred corpse are determined the first time you enter the Alienage, and not the orphanage.

When worn by Sten, the texture of the gloves does not change properly as the quality of the armor increases, e.g., dragonbone gloves appear as iron gloves.
