What are the best ways to get money and exp in DAI?

That's... pretty much the exact opposite of my experience. In my experience the different money systems mean Quizzy has a few hundred gold pieces at a level where the Warden would have had to scrimp a lot to have one. And I can't remember ever selling one item for a price with more than two digits in Origins, whereas I'm pretty sure most of the really good purple items go for a price with at least three digits, partially because gold is worth so much less in Inquisition than in Origins (and presumably 2.)Even when they're dangerous monsters? Even when the one in Crestwood is known to have killed someone and implied to be killing more people on the road?

I get not wanting to drive a species extinct, but... dragons were believed to be extinct (and possibly were extinct) at one point. And given the immense danger they pose, maybe there's a reason they had their numbers thinned (or removed) like that.

Did you read the "unless absolutely necessary" part?

Yeah I don't tend  to use the nug anymore as I felt it made life to easy for me in terms of why go farm for stuff when I already have it. I think it could be helpful to those that just want to do speed runs. But I'm more a person who prefers to play it like if I want to use a particular item I should try to earn it first either by farming to get the materials to make it or by looting if that's how it's got. So therefore I don't use the nug if I want something in particular I'll go out and find it.

And the Hinterlands dragon. That one will take potshots at you when you're not even trying to hunt it. The others are minding their own business at least.

Fair point. Still, though, that doesn't change the fact that the dragon is dangerously close to Redcliffe.

You sound like a guy who should be using the Nug. Or at least the Flames of the Inquisition armors, which aren't too bad.

Is it possible to reach 20+ levels without killing dragons?

The standard question troubling all heroes: Do these shoulder pads make me look fat? (meh The second one is pretty bad. I do like the 1st one however! And 3rd is decent!)



I feel like the Hinterlands quests alone can make you level to 20 if you do all of them. idk My Inky always seems to push up higher level than required before I'm done with any of the areas, but I do play normal.




Hey, it's not like those rugraggered npcs are all stylin' post-Armageddon.

Actually you can get away with probably starting JOH around 18 but it depends really on how good you are at the combat and what level you're playing but on Casual I've found I can usually do the early parts at level 18. I wouldn't recommend taking it all in one go though because you will go through your health potions pretty quickly. But you should be able to do enough to set up the first couple of camps on the map. You just need to make sure you don't go near the high level rifts and you should be fine and by that I mean the one that spawns Pride demons and the rift that's quite near the Hakkonite fortress as that's quite a high level one as well I've noticed as well but you should be able to at least survive long enough to acquire the shield power at least from the island. I say this because those rofts are definitely rated mid 20's for a reason as they really will make short work of you and your team if you're not careful. But the rifts near your camp areas are generally the same level as you so aren't really too much of a threat. The game only suggests level 20 because the lowest rank they can be is 20. But if you have a good handle on the game you probably can take them on a level or 2 lower just be prepared to use a lot of health potions and consider using someone like Casssandra in your party in that she's a tank and can distract a lot of the enemies. Which is a pretty useful talent to have when dealing with enemies of that level.
