What kind of RPG would Dragon Age: The Veilguard be without plenty of loot? After you've picked your class, customized your character, and gotten into the thick of the adventure, you will start accumulating plenty of new armors, weapons, and accessories for your Rook. How powerful your gear is, no matter what type, comes down to two factors: its rarity and its level. The former you have little control over, but upgrading is something you need to do yourself. It takes a surprising amount of time before the option becomes available, and you need to know where to even look to start the process, so we'll give you the blueprints on how to upgrade your gear in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

How to upgrade gear
We will keep this as spoiler-free as possible so won't be detailing exactly what you will be doing before upgrading unlocks. Instead, know that you will reach a location called the Lighthouse early on in the game before leaving to go on a main quest. Once you return as part of the main quest, then you can start to upgrade.
Step 1: After going back to the Lighthouse for the second time, head out through the main entrance to the courtyard.
Step 2: Run straight ahead toward the fountain before the stairs and interact with a new prompt that says Workshop.

Step 3: A list of your current gear will appear on the left. Select the one you want to upgrade and you will be shown the required gold and materials to upgrade it, as well as how much the stats will increase.

Step 4: You can only upgrade weapons based on the rank of the workshop, which you can do by finding or purchasing Mementos out in the world.
Step 5: Enchantments are also available for your gear as well as abilities after you go further into the story. Enchantments don't cost anything to apply, but you can only use each one on one piece of gear or ability at a time.
Upgrading your equipment at the shop will apply a +1, +2, +3, and so on to that specific item. If you want to upgrade its rarity you will need to either find or purchase a duplicate of that item and it will automatically upgrade itself to the next tier.
Also, make sure you check the other tabs here to upgrade your companion's gear as well so they can do their part in combat!

Good news, PC gamers: Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’t have third-party DRM
Dragon Age: The Veilguard continues to look like a great PC release. Publisher Electronic Arts confirmed that the upcoming open-world RPG won't feature Denuvo or any other third-party DRM when it launches on October 31.
EA announced this in a blog post, which also goes over the recommended PC specs and release times. While this means you won't be able to preload the game (you can still do so on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5), you will get some benefits.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has any difficulty you could possibly want
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have a long list of accessibility settings you can play around with when it launches on October 31, like with many AAA releases these days. This includes five difficulty presets, ranging from the easiest for players who just want to go through a new BioWare story as quickly as possible, to a nightmare mode for the most skilled or masochistic players.
And while most difficulty settings can be changed as you play, that doesn't include nightmare, which cannot be turned off once you start. So you need to make absolutely sure you're ready before starting a playthrough.

How to transfer weapon stats in Throne and Liberty
In an MMORPG like Throne and Liberty you will constantly be grinding for something. This game doesn't have classes, though, so you will mainly be leveling up your character and their equipment. That is a fun system on the surface, but it can create a problem where you don't want to upgrade to a new weapon because you've already leveled up a lower-tier weapon so much. Thankfully, there's a way to pass along all that XP you gained on one weapon into a better one. Here's how it's done.
