- Thank you. I hope it looks okay now. I will check the set bonus as well, later. DA:O isn't happy with me keeping Firefox open, and I don't even want to think about Alt-Tabbing :D ChrisChris 23:28, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
I retrieved this set immediately after Lothering, with a party of four Level 7 characters, and got Steel (tier 3) pieces. --Crush. 16:38, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
Damn Good
The Warden Commander armor is one of my favorite sets in both the looks, and effectiveness. Outstanding armor for a Damage dealing warrior, but really good for one using a shield as well. Second best looking set in the game in my opinion.
Cannot upgrade the armor with party chest
I was quite surprised to read the claim that putting the armor in the party chest would upgrade it as you level. I just tested that on the PC, and that did not work for me. Note that I actually got the Tier 3 (Steel) set, as the keep was the first thing I did after Ostagar.
- How long did you travel before you returned to the chest? --Tierrie 20:08, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, the page doesn't say anything about needing to travel, but I did try leaving the Keep, entering the party camp, and then going back to the Keep. How much travel is supposedly required?
- A decent amount - save your game and try going to party camp -> somewhere far away -> camp -> keep. --Tierrie 22:33, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Traveled all over the world and back, checked several times, camped in between travels, can't get it to upgrade. --173.72.33.214 23:52, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Did you level up? --Tierrie 23:54, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- I did this by pulling up a save from my level 17 warrior right before Landsmeet, and trying to upgrade his steel set. So yes, I had leveled a lot since Steel, but did I level up while the armor was in the chest? No. Is that what's required? --173.72.33.214 10:21, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. You're supposed to leave it in there and come back later. --Tierrie 18:43, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

I'm having a similar problem. Playing on the PC, I left the Steel pieces in the chest (as a lvl 20), then traveled to Haven, Brecilian Outskirts, Circle Tower, Flemeth's Hut, and back to Soldier's Peak. I stopped in camp between every spot and got in two random battles along the way. The armor set was still Steel when I got back. If this is even possible on the PC, it requires more. --Crush. 21:33, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
- I believe what he's saying above is you have to leave it in the chest while you level up. --98.240.61.131 03:54, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
Leaving it and then returning after a level up does not work for me on the PC with the latest patched (i cannot say if it would work or not without them). I obtained the armor at level 7, used it for a while, left it in the chest at level 15, then returned at level 16 and nothing had changed, the armor was still steel. I don't think upgrading the material level is possible on the PC short of console actions of some kind.Tetracycloide 21:47, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
- The other method, selling it to a merchant, leaving the area, returning, and buying it back worked for me on the PC with the latest patches but is, as noted, quite expensive. Tetracycloide 21:51, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
No Set Bonus
I have the full Warden Commander set equipped to Alistair and he's not getting the set bonus. I'm at the landsmeet so I can't test on my other warriors right now, but is it something about him or just a glitch?
Same person here, I suppose my question is sort of invalid now
. He got pissed off at the landsmeet and left. I'd still like my question answered if anyone knows.
IT is not a glitch, it's the way the story went, if you choose to let Loghain live and make him a grey warden, Alistair will leave squad permanently and about the set bonus, I believe it only apply to main character?--\＿ヾ( ￣ *)(| 06:42, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
- That wasn't the question, genius.
I also do not receive the bonus when I put all three pieces of the armour on. Tried Sten, and Character. - 142.167.67.118 07:38, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
Party members seem to not receive the set bonus if equipped while at camp. This applies to all armor sets. In order to get the set bonus, try exiting camp and re-equipping. This bug has already been brought up on the official bioware forums, though there seems to be no response from the devs. 72.235.91.236 10:10, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
It's bug! If playing on the xbox 360, then you will get no set bonus whilst wearing it on ANY character.
