Enchantments in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are bonus effects that can be added to weapons, armor, accessories, abilities, companion weapons, and companion armor at the Caretaker's Workshop following the quest On Blighted Wings or On Deadly Wings and at rank 3.

Mechanics[]

Enchantments can be added without cost and can freely be switched by selecting the enchant option at the Caretaker's Workshop. Each item pulls from a list of enchantments that are shared between other items in that category. Once an enchantment is used, it cannot be applied to a new item unless it is also removed from the old item. Enchantments are applied directly to the item or ability, and will remain enchanted even when unequipped.

Additional enchantments become available as the Caretaker's Shop rank increases.
