Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Drake Scale Armor

  • 1 of 9: To get this quest, you'll have to get a drake scale.
  • 2 of 9: NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Acquire drake scales for drake scale armor," so these hints won't have an objective list.
  • 3 of 9: The next time you're in Denerim, enter the Wade's Emporium shop in the Market District and talk to Herren.
  • 4 of 9: NOTE: Buy anything you want from his store inventory now, since he'll soon start refusing to do merchant business with you. (He really hates it when you monopolize Master Wade's time.)
  • 5 of 9: Say you're there about the drake scales, then tell Master Wade to make you some armor out of them.
  • 6 of 9: Travel somewhere else in Denerim, then return to the Market District and reenter the shop.
  • 7 of 9: Talk to Herren to get your three-piece set of drakeskin leather armor.
  • 8 of 9: If you got all six (or seven) drake scales, talk to Herren again and turn the next three over to Master Wade.
  • 9 of 9: Leave and reenter the Market District again, then go to the shop and talk to Herren to get a superior drakeskin leather armor set.
