Master Wade in Denerim's Market District can make amazing drake scale armor if you give him enough drake scales. He seems positively eager to do so.

Walkthrough

The drake scales are found on drakes in the Mountainside Caverns during the quest for the Urn of Sacred Ashes. Slaying six drakes will yield six scales on their corpses. These can then be brought to Wade, at his shop Wade's Emporium, for some rewards.

When talking to Wade you will be given the option to pay Wade for his service. If you choose not to, it will not affect the quality of the drakeskin armor, however it will affect the quality of the dragonscale armor if you choose to have Wade make this for you later.

There are options to pay him extra: 10Gold to "make it good" (if this is the first commissioned piece), and 20Gold (if it is the second) in order to make it perfect. If you paid the additional sovereigns for a commissioned Drakeskin piece (first or second), when you give Wade the Dragon Scale he will be able to craft the superior Dragon Scale Armor. If you never pay extra, you will only get the normal version of the Dragon Scale Armor.

Optimum order

In summary, the optimum order is to follow this sequence:

  1. Give him three Drake Scales and pay 10Gold to get Wade's Drakeskin Armor
  2. Hand over the Dragon Scale. This grants you either Wade's Superior Dragonskin Armor, Wade's Superior Heavy Dragonscale Armor, or Wade's Superior Dragonbone Plate Armor, depending on choice.
  3. Lastly, present three more Drake Scales to get Wade's Superior Drakeskin Armor (shop closes).

Rewards
