Unlock new zones, gain power, and choose Inquisition Perks! Learn how to effectively use the War Table with Cullen, Leliana, and Josephine for optimal rewards and progression.
Hey there! So, you've probably noticed this big table in Skyhold called the War Table. It's super important, not just for sending your advisors on missions, but it's actually how you unlock new areas of the map. Plus, you'll be picking out Inquisition Perks from here too. Think of it as your command center for managing the Inquisition's operations.
Basically, Cullen, Leliana, and Josephine will each have objectives you can send them on. They take time to complete, and some might have specific requirements or offer better rewards depending on which advisor you send. You'll see things like 'Power Cost,' 'Time Required,' and what they 'Prefer' (Connections, Forces, or Secrets). Paying attention to these can make a big difference in what you get out of them.
Let's break down some of the common missions you'll see and what they're all about:
