Hi all.
I'm new to the DA:I and have been very slowly making my way through the SP game. I've been trying to do it mostly in the blind and avoiding spoilers.
But crafting has me a little confused.
I don't want to waste my best mats on inferior armor. And honestly, I over-level everything now anyway.
Is there only 3 tiers for armor and weapons? And for armor, it appears there is the tier 3 and then their is a slightly better armor that's a "sturdy" version.
Is there better? I have the legion of the dead schematic, but that's dwarf only. Are there other heavy armor schematics that are better than the "sturdy" tier 3 armor?
What armor should I be holding out to craft for my tank?
Also, guard on hit seems really good, is that the best masterwork for tanks?
SP armor crafting questions.

1. There are 4 tiers, the fourth is obtained from dragon corpses or purchased from the black emporium
2. There are only 3 tiers of armor in the base game. But i believe there is a superior version of each that is slightly better than their sturdy counterparts.
3. The armor you craft for your tank is solely what you prefer. You could go down the basic tank strategy and use the best tier of warrior armor and increase resistances or hp, or you could go down another route and use a tier 3 prowler armor schematic( for rogues) that will let you increase crit chance and damage for a bit lower of an armor rating.
4. As to what the best masterwork is, it really just depends on what you prefer. I personally like the chance to proc 5 seconds of walking fortress over the guard on hit, of course that's if im playing a warrior. Mages and rogues in my opinion make better use of the guard on hit because they have no way of actually getting guard until then, unlike warriors. Again, just my opinion, hope it helped!

Mats, have 3 base tiers in the core game this is expanded to t4 in Jaws of Hakkon with new materials, High Dragons drop the only core game t4 mats
armors and weapons have 3 core tiers with different gradients within the tier.
Top Tier t3 armor is called Superior "x" where X is replaced by the name of the armor. Sturdy is actually the second to best t3 main body armor.
Upgrades are a whole different beast... weapon upgrades have unique stats for the models and armor upgrades have 3 unique models/stats per tier.

To get some of the best armout schematics go to the Hissing Wastes merchant with the Rare Stock perk to get either Superior Battlemage Armour, Superior Prowler Armour or Superior Battlemaster Armour (whether the schematic is in stock or not is random).
They are equal to the 20,000 gold sets sold in the Black Emporium at level 18. Leave the Hissing Wastes save/quit/load and head back to the store to speed up farming them.
