Dragon age II - "Supplier" Achievement Guide

Supplier is an achievement for Dragon Age II. You must collect every single crafting resource in the game to unlock it. It is worth 25G for Xbox 360 and is a Silver trophy for the PlayStation 3. 

 

Important! – You must keep Anders, Merrill and Isabelle in your party with high approval ratings. If Isabelle has less than 75% approval or rivalry she will leave your party after the Act 2 quest 'To Catch A Thief' making you unable to get the achievement. She will return if you met the approval/rivalry requirements so don't panic as her leaving is scripted, it only affects whether she comes back or not. Merrill and Anders each have companion quests that have resources in the area so ensure that they are kept as companions and that they are your friends.

Important! – If you finish any act with any of the resources missing then you will be unable to get the achievement – check the tables and numbers below and save frequently so you don’t miss out on anything, otherwise you’ll have to do another playthrough.

Before the Deep Roads Expedition you’re going to want to check your books in your home so you can ensure your numbers match up to the following. If you leave for the Deep Roads Expedition having missed something then you won’t be able to get it again, so that’s your last chance to collect things. Before the expedition you should have:

• Poisons and Bombs: Deep Mushroom 3/9, Deathroot 3/6, Glitterdust 1/6, Felandaris 0/1 
• Runes: Lyrium 3/9, Silverite 3/6, Orichalcum 0/6, Dragon's Blood 0/1 
• Potions: Elfroot 6/9, Spindleweed 3/6, Embrium 1/6, Ambrosia 0/1

The Deep Roads Expedition quest will add some additional resources and I recommend you keep a save from within that road in case you miss something, at the start of Act II you should now have: 

• Poisons and Bombs: Deep Mushroom 5/9, Deathroot 3/6, Glitterdust 1/6, Felandaris 0/1 
• Runes: Lyrium 5/9, Silverite 4/6, Orichalcum 1/6, Dragon's Blood 0/1 
• Potions: Elfroot 6/9, Spindleweed 3/6, Embrium 1/6, Ambrosia 0/1

If you don’t it means you’ve missed something out of the 6 new resources so check the table above and reload your save from within the deep roads.
