Just started my second character, and I realized that there a couple of things I never figured out with my first character.  I would appreciate any knowledge anyone has to share.

1. Landmarks.  Everywhere I went, I found landmarks (tree landmarks, boat landmarks, etc...).  I could click on them, but they didn't do anything.  I always figured they would come up in a later quest, but they never did.  Did I miss something?

2. The equipement box for your army.  I threw some runes, gold, elf roots, and a gem or two into that box, but I have no idea if it made any difference.  Does it affect the size of your army at the end.  I had 50 humans, 50 dwarves, 50 elves, and 12 mages.  Which seemed wrong considering I threw in way more runes than anything else.

1 - Something to do with the Dog, I hear

2 - Just gives you experience.

[Count Viceroy]

Examine the landmarks while controlling your dog.

[Nooneyouknow13]

Donations gave you XP.

Oh, man.  I killed that dog back in Ostegar.  It was so ugly looking.

So, you can basically just buy XP?  That's good to know.  I had around 250 sovereigns at the end of my last game.

Donations also probably provide better troops, not more troops, in addition to XP.



When dog examines a landmark, he gains a buff called Mabari Dominance that is always on while he is in that area from that point on.

I think donating also unlocks specific encounters when travelling across the world map.  These encounters provide a considerable amount of xp.

Examples:

After donating to the circle of magi, I encountered a mage and two apprentices who were being attacked by darkspawn on their way to the circle tower.

After donating to the army of Redcliffe, I encountered a group of Redcliffe soldiers who were under attack by darkspawn and an ogre.

Actually those encounters simply unlock after completing their respective quest, no donations are required to see them.

Best purchased as Elfroot. It's far cheaper per XP to buy elfroot and donate it than to donate raw gold.

I thought it would actually improve them in battle or give me more of them at once, pretty disappointing in the end as the reinforcements weren't much help at all, I assumed i'd have all of them available at once to help me in a huge battle or something. missed opportunity.

[Sir Elliot]

The reinforcements make a real difference when you're on nightmare. At the end of the palace district there is a seriously difficult fight, and then fighting the high dragon after he hits 50% and unlimited darkspawn reinforcements (including a number of elite level mobs) while he is hitting you from across the map with AOE attacks.



If you're running a 3 mage build you probably won't need them, but anything else and you likely will. The werewolves are serious offensive machines.

[Count Viceroy]

Actually, put hold on your party, call the mages and equip ranged weapons. Watch them blow everything to smithereens. You *might* have to melee the dragons, otherwise it's a cakewalk. Yes, on nigthmare.

[Nooneyouknow13]

Or you could deploy the golems and go make a sandwich. They'll pretty much demolish everything on their own, and survive.

[Forumtroll]

Not true. The Archer Alphas can kill the golems at lvl 25 with arrow of slaying.

[Rhys Cordelle]

You can recruit the golems? Damn. I knew I should've sided with them over Branka.

What? The golems are a result of siding with branka and thus keeping the anvil of the void, the source of golem production. Siding with Caridin will result in the destruction of the anvil and no golems.

So I assume if you side with Branka that her and her golems help you kill Caridin and his entourage? Both of my playthroughs so far I have sided with Caridin and mostly because I find it extremely difficult to play evil or even take the less honorable path. I suppose its time to make a dwarf rogue and this time instead of Harrowmont and Caridin I go with Bhelen and Branka and see what happens. I still have not done the dwarf origin story and I hear its a pretty good one...

Yes, it's just reversed. Replace Branka with Caridin. Different abilites on them though.

[JessicaGlenn]

If you side with Carridin you don't get any golems. At all. Other than Shale, that is. Who is considerably happier.

[Alneverus]

Whoops, thought I hit edit. Doublepost, my bad.

I actually had those two encounters without any donations. It is the same for all allies that you obtain. Though I find that nearly all of them are slaughtered. So it's rather disappointing.

this does effect how many soldiers of each group  you have that u can request in final battle, it looks like you can get up to 50 people in each group the more you donate the more you get up to 50

[caradoc2000]

The exact numbers can be seen here.

Although that chart doesn't show the number of thread necromancers.

You can also use the equipment chests to level up your character post game completion to max your character prior to importing into Awakening ( if you finished the game at level 22 for example, you can level up to 25 prior to importing)
