In a title as complex as Dragon Age The Veilguard, upgrading your gear can help you finish quests easily and enhance your in-game experience. However, doing so may require a fair bit of effort, as you must first collect certain goods and then use them to upgrade the gear by visiting the Faction Stores.
That said, this guide will explain how to upgrade Faction Stores in Dragon Age The Veilguard, which in turn can lead to improved gear and armor.
Upgrading Faction Stores in Dragon Age The Veilguard
In Dragon Age The Veilguard, Faction Stores can be accessed via Faction Camps. Even though you can upgrade your gear by visiting other merchants, the gear and rewards that Faction Stores offer are far superior. These camps can also reward you with Faction Strength to help you get the best endings in the game. However, you must also upgrade Faction Stores to get the best gear upgrades possible.

To upgrade Faction Stores, visit any of the stores and interact with them. You will see two options to your left and two on your right. The options on the left involve buying or selling goods. On the right, you will see an option that enables you to 'Rank Up' the Faction Store Merchant. For this, you will need to gather certain materials like Gold, Heartwood, Pure Ore, Flawless Crystal, and Imperial Wave.
To obtain these goods, you will need to defeat enemies and gather the loot they drop, open chests scattered around the map, and collect loot from the ground while exploring the open world. You can also choose to go on Faction-specific quests, complete the main storyline, and sell valuables in your inventory to get Faction Strength, which will help you upgrade Faction Stores.
The Caretaker is also one merchant who can help you upgrade your gear and even offers Enchantments that can be used to improve your gear. However, you will need to upgrade his workshop as well if you want to enjoy all the perks that he has to offer. For this, you will need Mementos, which can also be gathered via chests, enemy loot, and exploration.
