When it comes to weapons and equipment, just finding them isn\u2019t enough, you\u2019ll need to upgrade and enchant them, too. But did you know that they aren\u2019t the only thing you can enchant?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_3wj5t8kgn\">Nestled away in the Caretaker\u2019s enchantment menu, in addition to the ability to enchant weapons, armor, and equipment, is an option to enchant active skills. The enchantments here are pretty good, too, like dealing extra damage when certain effects are applied, extra stagger from the ability, reduced cooldowns, and more. None of these are particularly build-defining, but they can help you refine your build to make it even better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_w3h3w3ix8\">To access skill enchantments, simply visit the Caretaker\u2019s workshop and select the enchant option. Press R2 (RT if you\u2019re on Xbox, E on PC) to switch to the skills page, select a skill, and apply the enchantment.<\/p>\n<div data-mm-id=\"_iw1jqe9b1\">\n<div class=\"style_120ff32\">\n<figure data-id=\"_iw1jqe9b1\" class=\"base_1ruub6q\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><canvas class=\"style_1e28o3x-o_O-initial_9vayoh\"\/><picture class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\"><source\/><source\/><source\/><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"A screenshot of Dragon Age The Veilguard showing an upgrade menu for skills\" title=\"A screenshot of Dragon Age The Veilguard showing an upgrade menu for skills\"\/><\/picture><noscript><picture class=\"base_1emrqjj\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_360,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 2x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1080,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 3x\" media=\"(max-width: 719px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 2x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 3x\" media=\"(max-width: 1079px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 2x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FvoltaxMediaLibrary%2Fmmsport%2Fvideo_games%2F01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg 3x\" media=\"(min-width: 1080px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"base_1emrqjj\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3840,h_2160,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/voltaxMediaLibrary\/mmsport\/video_games\/01jc67wvmqgpbz8a7m6s.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot of Dragon Age The Veilguard showing an upgrade menu for skills\" title=\"A screenshot of Dragon Age The Veilguard showing an upgrade menu for skills\"\/><\/picture><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p><figcaption class=\"tagStyle_1ulimm5-o_O-text_1j8vahs\">EA \/ GLHF<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bj1k4cndo\">Curiously, the game never tells you about the ability to enchant skills, so it\u2019s very easy to miss. It\u2019s made worse by the fact that you can\u2019t enchant skills right away, only equipment until later in the game, so you don\u2019t really have a reason to look further into the menus once you\u2019ve unlocked enchanting. Still, now that you know, you should absolutely apply enchantments to as many skills as you can.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_sjb79ti3z\">Dragon Age: The Veilguard released last week to mostly good but somewhat mixed reviews, with reviewers praising its combat and visuals but being mixed on its writing.

I\u2019d recommend skipping the throwaway side content and mainlining the brilliant main quests, but you\u2019ll be punished in the final mission if you do. So you have no choice but to fast-travel from combat encounter to combat encounter, all while wondering where the moral dilemmas are in a series known for its player choice, where the interesting NPCs are in this RPG. Like the character I created at the start of this journey, I can\u2019t separate The Veilguard from its history, and this isn\u2019t the Dragon Age I remember \u2013 it\u2019s the reanimated corpse of the studio\u2019s former glory.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/videogames\/guides\/dragon-age-veilguard-enchant-skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers players thousands of possible builds, between different classes, specializations, weapons, armor, and accessories \u2014 and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5934,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5933"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tech.newat9.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
