Materials (The Veilguard)

Materials, including currency, are a category of items in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Gold and etheric remnants are currency used at merchants, although other types of materials, such as heartwood, pure ore, and flawless crystals, are also used for certain purchases. Materials are also used to upgrade factions merchants and to upgrade items at the Caretaker.

Materials can be acquired from game environments and merchants. The player's current inventory of materials is listed in the "resources" interface along with valuables.
