How To Increase Faction Strength In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Increasing Faction Strength inDragon Age: The Veilguardwill allow players to purchase stronger items, and get access to better prices, as well as to unlock certain objectives in the game. Here’s how they can improve faction strength to increase the reputation with each of the allied forces in Thedas:
The Fastest Way to earn Faction Strength and increase reputation levels is, of course, to complete every secondary quest in the game. In the meantime, players should also know that there is a “hidden mechanic” thatthe game does not warn us aboutand is related to Valuable Items.
Valuable Items can not only be looted from containers, resource nodes, or dropped from enemies, but also appearwhen players destroy barrels, jugs, and other objectsspread through the map. So, breaking apart all these things will automatically send Valuable Items to the players' inventory, speeding up the process of selling andgaining reputationwith the factions.
It is important to mention that the Faction the player chooses at the story’s beginning (during character creation) will provide a few dialogue options andreputation increase perkdepending on the faction they choose. For example: we chose the Shadow Dragons, a faction that Rook now shares in common with Neve, one of the companions, this popped up several different dialogue options between the two, and had some influence on the way we gained a reputation with said faction, as well as access to alternative dialogue lines with the members of the organization.

No matter which Faction Rook chooses, these will always come withtheir own perksthat modify one or two of Rook’s stats, or grant certain advantages during combat, like an additional Health Potion. The most important difference between all faction Perks is that each of them grants a faction reputation boost, as we mentioned before. That will determine how fast players can access the higher tiers of equipment faction vendors sell.
