Two versions of the same stylish armor
the dragon age: inquisition dlcs brought us some of the best armor schematics in the game. the refined version of the battlemaster/marauder/battlemage armors is the highest tier in that line and offers the best armor ranks and upgrade slots. it’s the lowest on the list due to its comparatively low armor rating and no cosmetic variations in the class, but with its arm and leg upgrades and sigil placement ability, it’s still a worthy armor for your inquisitor and friends.

these schematics come with the hakkon dlc jaws and can be found in various ways. Each of the coat skins can be bought from the weapons and schematics merchant in the stone bear cellar, but the mail skins are a bit more complicated. for the battlemaster mail schematic, you need to seal and loot a vanishing rift between the swamp side camp and the shattered wall marker. The Marauder’s Mail Scheme is similarly found in a vanishing rift loot, this time located northwest of the cliffside camp. Lastly, the Battlemage Mail Schematic is within reach of Razikale during the Trail of Ameridan main quest. It is located in the east vault after completing the correct floor puzzle.
