Crafting in Dragon Age: Inquisition allows the player to create unique weapons, armor, and runes as well as potions, tonics and grenades.
A crafting station is required for crafting and can be found in Haven, the Undercroft, and any Keeps that have been captured.
In order to craft weapons or armor, crafting materials and schematics are needed. These items can be found randomly or bought from merchants. The materials used in crafting affect the specific stats of a resulting item, while schematics determine item appearance and potential power. To craft runes, the player must read glyphs by veilfire.
Weapon and Armor Material Slots
Schematics allow the placement of a set number of leather, metal, or cloth into a recipe and will determine the outcome of the item.
Primary Slot
The primary slot governs the attack value of weapons, the armor value of armor, and the elemental damage type of staves.
Utility Slot
The utility slot controls what primary attribute will be upgraded.
Offense Slot
The offense slot provides a unique attack ability.
Defense slot
The defense slot provides various resistances.
Masterwork
Higher level weapon and armor schematics might have a masterwork slot that can optionally be filled by a masterwork crafting material that can offer a unique bonus.
Crafting Upgrades
Some weapons and armor require their own schematics to allow additional upgrade slots.
Runes
Crafting runes require a rune recipe.
