What is the difference between a masterwork schematic and a normal one?
I found two different schematics, the "Masterwork Witch Staff" and "Superb Staff of the Dragon" both have the same dps range (71/94). Both also have a masterwork slot. What is the difference between them? Is a masterwork schematic guaranteed to give me a masterwork weapon and so is better because I don't have to waste the masterwork slot with one of the "Increased chance of masterwork" items? If so, is it ever worth it crafting a non-masterwork weapon?
Best Answer
Closest comparison I have at the moment: Masterwork grip and Regular grip.

Through Masterwork crafting, you'll be able to create the weapons and armor in the style you want, with the stats you want, and upgrade it even further with a powerful Rune. You might have noticed that almost all of the weapons and armor you find in the game are randomly generated.What is the best bow in Dragon Age Inquisition?
The best bow is the Elgar'nan Enaste (schematic). It uses 2 less crafting materials than Hakkon's Wrath but has a special effect that makes basic attacks do additional fire damage in a small area around your target.Where can I buy Tier 3 schematics in Dragon Age?

Answer 2
When you craft a Masterwork weapon, you have an additional, special crafting slot called the "Masterwork slot". In here you can put any "Fade-touched" material, which grants additional bonuses you can only get with Fade-touched materials.
It is worth crafting regular weapons, they can be very powerful and will allow you to finish the game. The Masterwork slot simply allows for utility. (You can find a list of the materials and their effect on the wiki under the page Crafting materials.)
The difference between the schematics you have found is otherwise cosmetic. You can craft the one you think look best, because as long as you craft them with the same materials they will have the same bonuses.
