Money Making Strategies
Accumulating wealth is essential for acquiring the best gear, crafting materials, and upgrades in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Fortunately, several effective strategies can help you amass a fortune and ensure your Inquisition is well-equipped to face any threat.
Loot Everything: This is the most basic, yet often overlooked, strategy. Pick up every item you find, from crafting materials to junk items. Even seemingly worthless items can be sold in bulk for a decent profit. Regularly visit merchants to offload your excess inventory.
War Table Operations: The War Table is a goldmine for passive income. Prioritize operations that offer gold as a reward, particularly those managed by Josephine (Connections) and Leliana (Secrets), as they often yield higher returns. Missions like A Golden Opportunity or those involving trade routes can be particularly lucrative.
Selling Unused Gear: Regularly review your inventory and sell any gear that is no longer useful. Don't hoard items you'll never use. Focus on selling duplicate items or gear that is significantly lower in quality than what you currently have equipped.
Crafting and Selling: While crafting is primarily for personal use, you can also profit from it. If you find yourself with an abundance of specific crafting materials, consider crafting high-value items like powerful weapons or armor pieces and selling them to merchants. Look for schematics that produce items with good sell-back values.
Completing Quests: Many side quests and main story quests offer gold as a reward. Prioritize quests that offer substantial monetary compensation. Even smaller quests can add up over time.
Exploiting Merchants: Some players find that certain merchants offer better prices for specific item types. Experiment with selling different categories of items to various merchants to find the most profitable ones. Keep an eye out for merchants who specialize in certain goods.
High-Value Loot: Certain enemies and chests are more likely to drop valuable items. Prioritize clearing areas known for high-quality loot, especially in later game zones. Dragons, for instance, drop valuable materials that can be sold or used for crafting extremely powerful gear.
