Are you able to tell the formulas used to increase stats on different items? Is that information available somewhere?
You can tell what properties an item has, by looking in the ITEM_PROPERTIES directory of that item in the editor. The ID's for properties can be found here.
dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Save_game_editingAnd I imagine you can increase or decrease the property (stat) by modifying it's value in the ITEM_PROPERTY_POWERS directory. Not 100% sure, since I never tried to increase or decrease a certain stat on an item.
Basically, what I will try to do is add the evolving property to the item and see what happens after I lvl.up. If it works, then we have a winner, if it doesn't, I'll try to figure out something else.
EDIT: Well, it works. Just as I thought. But there is a slight problem. The new weapon has an above average base damage in relation to your current lvl. And adding the evolving property to the weapon seems to modify the stats, so they evolve along the line with your curent lvl.
The Hawke's Key (bow), I have accuired @ lvl20, actually has the average base damage of a lvl. 24 bow (134 physical damage). With the evolving property, base damage was reduced to 118 physical damage. The same base damage number as my Hood's Message to the King had at that lvl (lvl.21). Once I reached lvl.22, both bows changed their base damage number to 123. Basically, it works, but it will nerf the stats you currently have with The Hawke's Key, because they are a couple of lvl's above average at the moment you aquire the weapon. Imo, this mod is only worth it, if you acuire the weapon before you reach lvl.22-25. For instance, the bow will have 156 base damage @ lvl.28, if you use the evolving mod, wich is significantly less than the 171 damage you get with the bow aquired @ lvl.25+.
EDIT #2: I found some interesting data while digging around the files. The new armor, accessories and Bethany's staff are capped at lvl.26. The Hawke's Key, however, doesn't seem to have a lvl. cap. It has the level stat of whatever lvl your character is when you aquire it + 4. My Warrior got her weapon @ lvl.27, and the weapon has the stats of a lvl.31 2H weapon. Rogue got his bow @ lvl.20, and the weapon has the stat of a lvl.24 bow.
Armor, accessories and Bethany's staff have the lvl. as the one your character has, when he enters the area they are located in +2. For instance, my rogue armor set consists of a lvl.21 boots (found @ lvl.19), lvl.22 gloves and helm (found @ lvl.20) and lvl.23 chestpiece (found at lvl.21). Accessories from that game also range from lvl.21-23.
So, if my calculations are correct, you should get the highest possible gear (except the Hawke weapon), if you enter the dlc at lvl.24.
