Revision as of 18:35, 1 April 2017

The Spellward is an amulet in Dragon Age: Origins.

Acquisition

Dragon Age: Origins

Sold by Bodahn Feddic at the Party Camp for 87 67 50.

Leliana's Song

Dropped by the Weapon Master during the second time through the Noble's Estate.

Witch Hunt

Sold by Sandal at the Apprentice Quarters of the Circle Tower for 67 21 75.

Notes

This amulet is very useful for tank characters.

Exploits

It is possible to purchase two of these amulets during Origins because Bodahn's stock will completely reset with the first departure from the post-Lothering Party Camp.
- Dwarven Noble Rogue route:
  - Save the scholar's life and demand money from him.
  - Answer Lord Ronus Dace's question to his satisfaction, make sure he gives you the Note of Credit, and sell it.
- Increase Cunning to at least 25, and buy at least two ranks of Stealing, before completing The Grey Wardens' Cache. Pick every pocket you can (twice per target at Ostagar).
- Selling off everything short of basic equipment - especially with lucky corpse-loot and save/reload strategies for better theft results and container contents - should leave you with at least enough money for your first Spellward.
- Dwarf Noble Rogue + DLC route: As above, but selling Blood Dragon Plate and Blightblood will help ensure you have enough gold by the end of Lothering (and even some extra spending money).
  - xbox360Players in particular may not want to lose the Blood Dragon Plate so early, as it is a superior version of the armor featuring significantly better bonuses than on the other platforms.
- Any Origin/Class + exploit method: Traps are a Girl's Best Friend can be used to generate the needed gold - there is an exploit allowing it to be repeated endlessly. The drawback in this case is how far the current party will level up in the process, as 100 XP are gained with every 50 (minus materials cost).
- Any Origin/Class + DLC method: The Reaper's Cudgel (from The Golems of Amgarrak DLC) can be sold for a huge sum of gold. Just be warned that unlocking it is arguably the most challenging achievement in the game.

+** Any Origin/Class + exploit method: [[Traps are a Girl's Best Friend]] can be used to generate the needed gold - there is an [[Exploits (Origins)|exploit ]] allowing it to be repeated endlessly.  The drawback in this case is how far the current party will level up in the process, as 100 XP are gained with every 50{{s}} (minus materials cost).
+** Any Origin/Class + DLC method: [[The Reaper's Cudgel (Origins)|The Reaper's Cudgel]] (from ''[[The Golems of Amgarrak]]'' DLC) can be sold for a huge sum of gold. Just be warned that unlocking it is arguably the most [[Harvester (strategy)|challenging]] achievement in the game.
-== Acquiring Two Amulets (Origins) ==
-It is possible to purchase two of these amulets, because Bodahn's stock will completely replenish after the party leaves the [[Party Camp]] for the very first time.
-*Legitimately obtaining enough gold to purchase this amulet (without the need for [[Downloadable content (Origins)|downloadable content]]) during the first visit to camp can only be accomplished by a [[Dwarf Noble Origin|Dwarven Noble]] [[Rogue (Origins)|Rogue]] (requires the gold from saving the Orzammar scholar and the I.O.U. given by Lord Dace in the origin also) with enough skill at stealing (25 [[Cunning]], [[Stealing|Improved Stealing]]) to rob all npc's in sight and [[Duncan]] twice in [[Ostagar]] (for master runes). Selling all items except gifts and the PC's primary weapon/weapons and not spending any money except what is necessary to complete the potion/poison/trap quests in Lothering can raise the needed sum. Results may vary depending on random loot attained, saving prior to opening random chests or stealing and then reloading can help control the quality of items received.
-**Selling the  downloadable content, [[Blood Dragon Plate]] (as a dwarf noble rogue),  will ensure you have enough gold by the end of Lothering and some extra gold to play with as well (if you follow the above also) with fewer reloads.
-**[[The Reaper's Cudgel (Origins)|The Reaper's Cudgel]] (''[[The Golems of Amgarrak]]'') can be sold for a huge sum of gold right away and by anyone. This bypasses any need to play a dwarf noble rogue, sell other downloadable content items or be thrifty with your gold, however this item can be difficult to unlock.
-* The quest [[Traps are a Girl's Best Friend]] can also be used to generate the needed sum of gold. This is due to an exploit allowing it to be repeated endlessly.
