Possible schematics:

Chest Location (map view)

Chest Location (In game view)

you can farm any short map with an abundance of chests quickly at the start of the game.. that location however is more tedious to get to on the higher difficulties due to the level 12 demons near by.
Obviously there's farm-able chests everywhere, but this one can be reached without any combat, have the highest level range before Tier 3, it drops up to level 16 items when your party could be as low as level 3. This is the best option if you want to farm early.
Good spot, quick save and load works with it aswell.
Got myself ready to farm for the Battlemage Cowl, and got it on the first load, single item. Farm over, crap. lol. Now i need to find a new chest, know any?. xD

There's a place in Hinterlands where you can farm tier 3 schematics early. It's a dwarven pot inside the vault of valammar. http://youtu.be/_YHJQolCAV8?t=44m54s
Isnt that the chest that only reset when you exit and re-enter the dungeon?.
Yeah :\. I made a quick video of how I farm it.
So this pot is one of the must leave and re enter chests? Every chest I have come across in the hinterlands will reset upon saving and reloading. It is how I have been farming T1 schematics this afternoon.

After some testing, I figured out that you can quick save and load at a short distance from the pot. But once you have opened it and looted a schematic, you need to zone out and in again to refresh the pot. I edited my other post in this thread with a updated video.

Did you find the "Helm of the Inquisitor" Tier 2 at that chest?. Iv been farming it on and off the last couple of days and that one just wont appear, so im just wondering if im wasting my time tring to find it at that chest. xD

Uh RNG is a bad woman. I've been farming that one for hours and still no inquisitor helmet. ![]()
Oh man, my 6th playthough is going to be fun.
The method works. I've gotten a lot of Tier 2 schematics so far.
Any other spot like this in the hinterlands or any spot near as good than this one?
Dammit, that many Superior T2 Schematics while just at level 4... Next thing is to make those Paragon Luster's farming quicker.
Any place for farming Tier 2 schematics with four or five or more chests inside? Not necessarily at the start of the game, but a place where there's a lot of chests? So far Unadin Grotto is about the only place I'm aware of.
(Valammar and others just don't cut it for me - opening one chest means lots of re-runs, especially if you only need one particular schematic).

Yea. I'm the one who recorded that video and I run DAI from an old intel x25-m 80 g2. Rest of my computer: i7 3930k, intel 520 running windows 10 preview build 9879 (unoptimized drivers).
If you're going to farm maps that only appear after Haven, you might as well do Emprise for tier 3 stuff. There are 3 chests on the frozen lake and island that usually contain 2-3 items. A bonus is that you can save/reload immediately after looting these chests; no map travel/running around needed.
A better option is to farm Grey Warden ruins in northeast part of Emprise.
There's one chest right outside the entrance, with 6 more inside and they're all close to each other.
Also, the contents refresh after you leave the ruin, so no need to save and load.
