Way of the Reaver

Way of the Reaver is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition. It is one of three potential quests that a warrior Inquisitor can complete to obtain a class specific specialization.
== Acquisition ==
This quest becomes available after the Inquisitor completes the main quest From the Ashes and relocates to Skyhold. The war table operation, Specializations for the Inquisitor, will appear after leaving Skyhold for the first time and returning. Completing the operation unlocks there specialization quests.
There are three potential trainers, one for each specialization, that will arrive at Skyhold to teach a warrior Inquisitor their specialization. Conversing with Breaker Thram, the Reaver trainer, will initiate the quest. 
== Walkthrough ==
The Inquisitor will need to craft the item: "Dragon Blood Distillation" via the requisition recipe received.
Gather the following materials:
: Writing on Reaver methods 
: (3)
: (20)
Writing on Reaver methods can be found beside Iron Bull at the Skyhold tavern Herald's Rest, adjacent to where he sits. If the Iron Bull was not recruited, the book can be purchased from Willvan in Val Royeaux; reading it unlocks Codex entry: Way of the Reaver.
Infusion Primers can be obtained by killing three rival reavers at Crestwood. They are two-handed or weapon and shield warriors which are accompanied by a few other enemies which can include mages. They each drop an Infusion Primer. One can be found wandering the area of the East Side Hills, another at The Black Fens and the last at The Flats. If any of these locations are unavailable because the dam has not yet been opened, the Inquisitor may leave Crestwood and return, the reavers will respawn. The primers can also be purchased from Saphi in Val Royeaux if one has The Short List perk.
Rashvines can be gathered at Emerald Graves, Exalted Plains and Emprise Du Lion. They can be found growing on tree trunks and also the side of rocks and are red in color. They can also be purchased at village of Crestwood merchant. Additionally, they can be obtained from the repeatable war table operation Exalted Plains Resources with Josephine or Leliana.
Craft the blood distillation at any requisition table and return to Breaker Thram on the Skyhold battlements to complete the quest and learn the Reaver specialization.
== Rewards ==
Choosing the specialization yields:
* 512 XP
* Influence 200
* Power 2
== Notes ==
* All three specialization quests can be active at the same time and their appropriate items crafted; however, only one specialization can be chosen.
* Completing the quest will unlock the war table operation Break once the Inquisitor reaches Influence level 8.
== Bugs ==
* There is a known glitch when reading the book near Iron Bull. After reading the book the mission will not update properly, however once all of the other materials have been gathered the item requisition can then be completed and the quest will update as intended.
