Adicted2Anime, supposedly... if you stash stuff in the chest at warden's keep early in the game, and revisit the keep latter, the gear supposedly levels up for you... so for example, a grey iron item might be dragon-bone latter in the game... or so i've heard... never tested it though.
Something like this happened to me, I think. When I first got the Warden Commander Armor Set I wasn't strong enough to wear it so I put it in the chest. Some time later I noticed all three pieces to be different tiers and other times two pieces would match and the third would not. On a whim yesterday I took all three pieces out of the chest. Before I took them out, when I looked at them in the chest, two pieces were tier 4, and one was tier 5 (I think. It could have been tier 3 and 4). However, when they ended up in my list they were all tier 6.
According to Dragon Age Wikia this is what is happening...

The Warden Commander Armor Set set is a powerful set of massive plate armor that scales with The Warden's level. For example, the set is made from Viridium (Tier 4) when it is found at level 9. When it is found at level 18, it will be made of Dragonbone (Tier 7) and have much better stats.
* Now on the PC The Warden can only be upgraded by selling it to Mikhael Dryden
* On the console version the armor can be upgraded by putting it in the party storage chest then leaving and returning.

* In the Xbox version, the set is currently bugged, and no Set Bonus will be given if the wearer is the Warden. Only companions will receive the Set Bonus once fully equipped.
* Cure: In the Xbox version, you can still get the set bonus with the main character wearing the set. All you need to do is to buy the Grey Warden Helmet from Mikhael, put it on with rest of the pieces and receive the bonus.

Does anyone know if this leveling trick works on all armor, only specific pieces, or only full sets? Also, does this work for weapons or anything else?
If this works on anything (or at least armor) it would be a great way to make a little extra cash. Put things you intend to sell in the chest, leave, come back, reclaim the leveled items, and sell them for extra cash.
