Why would they let you upgrade the king's equipment from ostegar DCL but they don't ley you upgrade any other "unique armor sets" that is so messed up I think. Anyone have any answers for that?

There are many pieces of gear available for upgrades. Just save before trying it out, or look it up at the Wiki.

They do.   The Warden Commander armor set upgrades in the same manner as Caelin's  set.    Shale's crystals will too, IIRC.

It's a DLC thing.

It doesn't let me upgrade Diligence Armor ;_;

I'm pretty sure Shale's crystals don't upgrade. I always made sure to have a copy of each element in the storage chest in my last playthrough, and I never saw them change. First brilliant crystal I ever saw was during her personal quest, which I did just before the landsmeet.

The reason why it upgrades some is that some sets like Juggernaut are set at a specific tier, no matter when you find them.  Others, like the Warden Commander set, can be at various tiers depending on what level you are when you first receive them (or first load the area you get them in, I forget exactly how it works).  The reason why the storage chest works the way it does is that the game treats the chest as a "merchant".  The original game had nothing like it, so it had to be that way for the game to let it function properly.  As a side effect, the 'ability' for merchants to upgrade their gear (done to make sure the player would almost always find reasonable gear for their level at merchants) was also given to the storage chest.

Because of this, I almost always do Soldier's Peak first, and sell a minimum of stuff to merchants (basically just so I can afford the earliest backpack upgrades).  Then when I have access to the storage chest, I stuff everything that upgrades I'm not currently using in there, then come back later to find it upgraded a few tiers, and then sell it for much more money than it would have gone for.  It's basically a money exploit with finite limits, and a great way to upgrade your party's equipment without any extra investment.  I usually net close to 300-350 sovereigns before the landsmeet this way, works great if you want to buy all of that expensive equipment to maximize your spell resistance.

Your items transfer from your chest to your backpack when you import the character, provided you can hold it all (which you prolly can't). It will actually let you import more than your backpack can hold. E.g., you could import 130 bits and show a backpack capacity of 130/125, but you would be unable to do any reequipping until you sold/destroyed enough stuff to get back under max capacity. And I have heard, but not confirmed, that there is a limit to  how far over the cap it will go, and that some loot still gets lost during the import because of this. You do get a storage chest in Awakening once you complete the intro quest, but it is empty, not a copy of your old chest from Warden's Keep.

What I recommend is that you load the save from which you plan to import BEFORE you actually start the Awakening game. So, for example, load the epilogue autosave from the end of your DA:O story, and travel back to your party chest. Prioritize what you wanna keep so that you can carry it all in your backpack, and sell all the rest to Levi (money DOES transfer over). Then make a new save and import this new save to start your Awakenings campaign. That way you don't lose items you actually wanna keep just because you had too much stuff and the game hadda prune it, nor do you start up against the capacity limit from the word "go" and end up running the whole intro quest unable to pick up any loot. Also, that stuff you didn't really care about boosts your money instead of going to waste, so your new toon isn't broke from the start (worthwhile gear is obviously not cheap to buy when you start at a minimum of level 18).

Hint: make sure you keep enough gear to equip a whole party (including yourself), cuz you can't depend on the characters you recruit having gear that you would consider "adequate". Their gear tends to be level appropriate but very, very bland.

They have no idea when you will decide to buy and install any particular bit of DLC. You might get it at the same time you buy the vanilla game, in which case you not only want to be able to access the content from the beginning of a fresh campaign, but you will also want the loot to be usable for a starting char. OTOH, you might pick up that bit of DLC after you have already finished almost the entire storyline, but you won't want the DLC loot to be so outdated that it's well beneath your level 248 demi-god's notice to even sell it, let alone equip any of it. And remember, part of the selling point for DLC content is the new armor, weps and other new items it adds. So they have to be scaleable to any level of character or they are bound to irritate a large segment of the people who buy the DLC.

How long do the items need to be in the chest to upgrade? I know unique items don't upgrade but i wouldn't count a silverite greatsword or saw sword unique. I'm also level 20 so i think the items should be upgrading to tier 7 items. However, they havnt upgraded at all. Any thoughts? thanks.
