So, what are the mage armor sets?
So far I've only come across the starting armor with the whole green scarf thing, then the brown coat armor that you loot for pretty much the rest of the game, then a slight variation of that which looks a little tighter (Enchanter armor?), and then lastly is the "sturdy" set you get from the dog merchant.
Is there any actual unique armor?
I've found a total of 4 purple armors.
Ancient Elven Robes (req. lvl 11, elf) - Can't remember exactly, but I -think- I got it in one of the Elven Ruins on the Exalted Plains. Could be wrong though!
High Keeper Robes (req. lvl 16, elf) - Purchase at the Dalish Elf Camp on the Exalted Plains
Those are the only unique-texture armors I've seen, and they're race-gated.
Masterwork Vanguard Armor - Mercenary Fortress, Hinterlands
Masterwork Battlemaster Armor - Hinerval (possible random drop)
Headgear:
Mask of the Empress (req. lvl 11)
Mask of the Grand Duchess (req. lvl 11)
Cowl of the Overseer (req. lvl 8) - Found on a Venatori Mage, Hissing Wastes
ok so I see Promise of the Storm on the list but no location ...think I can help with that. Just found it in the Tomb of Fairel in the Hissing Wastes ...you have to gather up the 5 parts of the key then head to where the Sandy Howler High Dragon is. You can get to the tomb entrance without disturbing the dragon if you don't want

edit: stats are different than on the one you have pictured in the list. Mine is actually a bit better ...321 dps, 109 dmg. all the other stats the same.
Bloodwake dropped for me off a Venatori Mage in the Hissing Wastes rather than from a chest. During the quest Sand and Ruin up in the mountains area.
Perseverance - http://i.imgur.com/NY7xoZc.png- all i'm gonna say is this bow certainly earned it's name. Make sure you talk to the Chantry priestess every time you run into her in the Hissing Wastes ...the only hint I'll give you on how to get this bow 
I think you can find The bleeder of Souls from the main quest in RedCliff. It is on one of the side rooms in the dungeon you explore. I don't want to say more without spoiling it. You get it off a mob there. Hopefully that will be enough information..........
where does the legion of the dead armor come from?

Not to toot my own horn ...well ok I'll toot it, been sending Execalibur some private pms of pics of stuff I found and posting updates on items he posted yet didn't remember where he got them so yea I wouldn't mind be added as helping out the wiki ...Execalibur should be able to confirm this for ya
I was able to find this armor "In Death, Sacrifice" unique medium armor.
162 Armor Rating
Item Lv 14
From the dragon in crest wood
Stats on that armor??
i edited the post its says the stat now with lv
In War, Victory is a light armor also looted from a high dragon in the tomb area in the desert, and In Peace, Vigilance is a heavy armor from a different high dragon in the emprise du lion. There's Empress Celene's mask at the winter ball main story mission. And an Iron Bull specific helmet (yes actual helmet) after doing his last companion quest. The only unique vitaar I ever saw was in the last tomb in the temple that gets opened by the shards scattered throughout every area... I know it has Arishok in the name.
Little hint: You can make better weapons, weapon parts, armor, and armor parts than any item you could ever loot in the game. Except helmets. But there's not enough dragon material from looting all the high dragons to completely outfit four characters using the best schematics (even without the helmets).
This. Except I have yet to make a better bow than a drop.

I figure I'll use the high dragon mats to make my main all her stuff then use any leftovers to outfit her love interest next. After that [if I still have mats] it depends on who amused me the most with their banter ...so this means Sera after my mage, and most likely Dorian because he and Sera eventually got along smashingly and they had some of the funniest diaglogs together imo

http://i.imgur.com/cwOcEMw.png - where it's found. Must complete Crossing the Sulpher Springs War Table Ops to open access to the cave leading to the chest where this is.
Masterwork Vanguard Mail - found this in Western Approach. Looted from a chest or off a kill. Was very tired last night when I found it so don't rightly recall which but I know I was in that zone. Posting multiple pics of this item only because of how different it looks depending on who's wearing it 
http://i.imgur.com/doyujwF.png - seen on my mage
http://i.imgur.com/ONOmyPt.png - worn on Iron Bull
http://i.imgur.com/khcNTrU.png - worn on Cassandra
http://i.imgur.com/8r9fXFF.png - worn on Blackwell
http://i.imgur.com/eXLiibS.png - seen on Viv ...this has to be one of the best/coolest looks for gear on her I've seen (which sucks 'cuz I know she'll never be able to wear this *sadface )
Roger! I'll add a link to you as well, thanks for helping the community guys
Something that would b epic is if u helped me gather schematics. I'm trying to make a compendium and if we grow it sufficiently turn it into a calculator
um ...do you need a schematic list? with what slots each has? or are you looking for where they can be found? cuz the former is easy enough to do. Can start taking pics of all the stuff I have so far, but the latter could be a bit tougher seeing as there is no way i'm gonna remember where I found or bought every one I have so far
Update for this list and the wiki ... http://i.imgur.com/3uVKi04.png
-Nameless Blade- dropped for me off the Abyssal High Dragon in the Western Approach just now.
So, there are countless threads about Schematics, so im not going to open a new one. Ive red that there is a theory that there are no t3 masterwork Armor schematics, and thats not true. I have bought a T3 "MasterWork" Medium Armor recipe from the Vendor in the Hissing wastes, i really dont know why it was there. This is my second playthrough and in the first one, he didnt sell it
On my first Playthrough i played a Rogue, like i said, there was no T3 Masterwork armor, and i mean Armor, not Upgrades.
On my Second Playthrough with a Mage, he didnt have the Recipe at first, and when i unlocked some Inquisition Perks, the Recipe was there
