How to use the caretaker's workshop in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Each time players level up the Caretaker's Workshop, they will gain access to a number of important upgrades. Depending on the level of the Workshop, they will be able to level up their equipment from +1 to +10 and also enchant their items for free. Each workshop level enables a new series of enchantments or enhances previously unlocked ones.

Enchantments can be applied to each weapon, armor, and accessory, but there can only be one enchantment of the same type active at a time. This means players can't stack 5 +40 Electric damage Enchantments on their gear, but they can have a +20 for each item type if they want.

On the other hand, Rook's spells and abilities can also be enchanted in the same way. Players must select the Upgrade Skill menu tab in the workshop interface to access this option. Abilities and spells can only be enhanced by one effect at a time, and like items, they cannot share the same type of enchantment at the same time.

Players can upgrade their Companions gear and the same rules mentioned above apply to their Main Hand, Off Hand and Armor. For example, if Lucanis has a +20 barrier damage enchantment in his primary weapon, then he cannot have a +20 barrier damage spell in his off hand, and players will have to choose another such as +20 of bleeding damage.

Rook is the character who has more access to Enchantments: Abilities, Main Hand, Off Hand, Two-hand, Armor, Helmet, Amulet, and Rings. Players should make sure to always enchant every slot available so that Rook's power never goes down during battle. After all, enchantments cost nothing.
