- Weapon upgrades are tied to the workshop’s rank. You can increase the workshop’s rank by acquiring Mementos found or purchased throughout the world.
Enchantments and Abilities
As you progress through the story, enchantments and abilities become available for your gear. Applying enchantments doesn’t cost any resources, but each enchantment can only be used on one piece of gear or ability at a time.
Enhancing Rarity and Upgrading Companions
Upgrading your equipment at the workshop adds a +1, +2, +3, and so on to the specific item’s level. To improve an item’s rarity, you’ll need to find or purchase a duplicate. This will automatically upgrade the item to the next rarity tier.
Don’t forget to utilize the other tabs in the Workshop to upgrade your companions’ gear as well. Keeping your companions well-equipped is essential for success in combat.
Conclusion
Upgrading your gear in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is crucial for strengthening your Rook and ensuring victory against challenging foes. By utilizing the Workshop and strategically managing your resources, you can create a formidable arsenal and maximize your combat potential. Remember to regularly upgrade both your own equipment and your companions’ gear to remain a powerful force throughout your adventure.
