The Warden Commander armor set is a massive armor set in Dragon Age: Origins. It requires the Warden's Keep DLC.

Acquisition

The armor is found at the Soldier's Peak. It can only be obtained by killing the demon-possessed corpse of Sophia Dryden, Levi Dryden's great-great grandmother, as part of the Soldier's Peak (quest).

Upgrading

• ps3xbox360The armor can be upgraded by putting it in the Party Storage Chest, leaving the map and returning.
• pcThe armor can only be upgraded by selling it to a merchant such as Mikhael Dryden.

Notes

• The set does not import into Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening. A player character wearing the set at the end of Origins will begin Awakening without any armor at all. However, the armor and fatigue will be carried onto the character, as if the armor merged with the character. This allows for a ridiculously damage-resistant imported warden-commander in Awakenings.
  • An unofficial mod can be found here which allows users to transfer all of their DLC items over to Awakening when making a new character or importing their Origins character. Make sure the items are in the inventory or being worn at the time of transfer.
• The armor scales with the Warden's level – for example, the set is made of veridium (Tier 4) when it is found at level 9 and dragonbone (Tier 7) at level 18. The tier level is determined by the Warden's level when they first enter the Soldier's Peak area - not when they acquire the armor (i.e. if you are level 8 when you enter Soldier's Peak but level 9 when you acquire the armor, it will still be tier 3 Steel).
  • It is one of the most powerful armor set at tier 7 that provides extra amount of Stamina and Stamina regeneration for Warriors or Rogues to spam their destructive Two-Handed talents or Dual Weapon talents. It also helps Arcane Warrior to use their Spells for tanking and reduces the stamina burden placed on Weapon and Shield Warriors due to their many passives.
• With the set bonus the total fatigue penalty becomes 16.35 not 28.35.

Bugs

• xbox360the set is currently bugged and will therefore not give a set bonus.
• No griffon appears on the breastplate if character is a female elf. Appears to be fixed in the downloaded ps3 version.
