As you are exploring and have to climb along steep terrain, watch your trekking companions. Because they are controlled by AI, they will often have an easier time climbing. If an ally works his or her way to an advantageous position, quickly switch to that character, and then back to your preferred warrior. You should join your friend on the high ground, saving you the trouble of getting there the hard way.
Easy Wyvern Scales and Experience
Once you are at level 13 or higher with sufficiently powerful gear, head to the Hissing Wastes. Work your way to the oasis, located near the far west side of the map. Kill the enemies you find there and gather the wyvern scales, which you can sell for around 4000G for about 10 minutes' worth of work. It's a great way to gain both gold and experience points.
Use the following steps to get a free horse. Once at the Hinterlands, and travel to the far west corner to start the "Master of Horses" side-quest. It begins west of the Redcliffe Farms Camp, at the large set of stables visible from a distance. Go up the hill to the large homestead where Master Dennet resides. Talk to him then agree to his terms. You will receive a Ferelden Forder. Take the horse with its saddles in the stables located to the right of the path used to exit the house.
Go to Val Royeaux. Search for a vendor named "Deraboam" located in a small store with a blue door. Interact with the chest there to find "The Mystery Box". Spend 10,000 coins to purchase it and get the "The Big One?" mission to appear on the global war board. Send one of your advisors on the "The Big One?" mission and they will return with a giant Nug mount as the reward.
From the War Table, select the Gather Coin operation with any character. Now, exit the game long enough to change the clock settings on your hardware. Set the time forward an hour, then resume play. Your operation should have concluded, and you can collect the rewards. Make sure not to rollover your time, and it's a good idea to reset your clock once you have used the trick a few times, just to keep things simple.
If a chest with more than one item is not fully looted, it will respawn the contents after fast traveling. Some chests contain the Amulet Of Power, which gives the main character or their followers an extra +1 skill point, depending on which character the amulet is available for. When a chest is found with multiple items inside including an Amulet Of Power, this glitch will work. Only take the Amulet Of Power, leave the other item(s), then fast travel back to Skyhold. Return to the original location, and the Amulet Of Power will have respawned. To use this glitch in the Village of Crestwood, first unlock the "Deft Hands, Fine Tools" perk in the Secrets Inquisition tree. You need four other perks in the Secrets section to unlock that perk. It allows Rogues to open Masterwork Locks. Leave Skyhold, and go to to the Village of Crestwood with a Rogue. If you fast traveled to the village, turn right, and go up the steps to find a locked shack. Open the door with your Rogue. Loot the floor near the fireplace to find a container with a Gold Amulet and Amulet Of Power. Take the Amulet Of Power, but leave the Gold Amulet. If you take both items, this glitch will not work. Next, fast travel back to Skyhold or any location outside the Crestwood area. Then, return to the Village of Crestwood, enter the previously locked shack, and loot the floor container again to find the Amulet Of Power has respawned. Repeat this process as many times as desired to earn an unlimited number of skill points. Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game.
You can dupe stackable crafting materials at any merchant. All you need to do is mark your crafting materials you want to dupe to the Valuables and hit Sell and Sell All at the same time. Only stackable crafting materials can be duped and no herbs.
