Way of the Artificer

Way of the Artificer is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition. It is one of three potential quests that a rogue 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 rogue Inquisitor their specialization. Conversing with Three-Eyes, the Artificer trainer, will initiate the quest. 
== Walkthrough ==
The Inquisitor will need to craft the item: "Custom Precision Tools" via the requisition recipe received.
Gather the following materials:
: Writing on Artificer methods
: (3)
: (20)
Writing on Artificer methods are available either on the table next to Varric in Skyhold, or from Willvan in Val Royeaux; reading it unlocks Codex entry: Way of the Artificer.
Alpha Quillback Spines are found at Giant's Staircase, Nazaire's Pass, The Canyons, and near Old Prison Road in the Western Approach. It is also randomly sold by Master Taniel in the Exalted Plains if you have The Short List Inquisition perk.
Obsidian is found in Crestwood, Exalted Plains and Hinterlands or obtained from the repeatable war table operation Crestwood Resources with Cullen or Josephine. It is also obtainable from the Black Emporium.
Craft the tools at any requisition table and return to Three-Eyes to complete the quest and learn the Artificer 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 Make once the Inquisitor reaches Influence level 8.
== Bugs ==
* There are three alpha Quillbacks, however, they do not always drop quills. Conversely, non-Alphas sometimes drop them so obtaining the quills is mostly a matter of running back and forth between the Craggy Pass Camp and Nazaire's Pass Camp, with some fast travels occasionally to get the map to reset.
