Upgrades

Most weapons and armors acquired in Dragon Age: Inquisition can be modified via upgrade slots. In non-crafted weapons and armors, upgrade slots are pre-existing, new slots cannot be added by the Inquisitor. Similarly, crafted weapons and armors are created with predetermined upgrade slots affixed to the equipment. In either case, the type of potential upgrade slot solely depends on the type of equipment acquired or created.

Weapon and armor upgrades can be received as a reward for quests, completed war table operations, looted from chests, dropped from enemies, purchased from select merchants or crafted at various locations.
