Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant combat advantages. This guide details how to acquire and craft these powerful items.

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

To begin crafting, you must first progress to Chapter 1 and join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army. Visit an Inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material, Pyroxene.

Acquiring Pyroxene:

Pyroxene is found throughout the game world as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore thoroughly during your travels between battles. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for completing side quests, accumulating Old Coins, and reading letters at Inns.

Crafting Gems:

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to initiate the crafting process. Crafting is randomized; the number of Pyroxene used doesn't influence the resulting Gem type. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem in the crafting menu indicates that only that specific Gem type can be created during that crafting session.

Gem Leveling:

Repeatedly crafting a particular Gem type will increase its effectiveness. These enhancements provide various combat buffs. Since only one Gem can be equipped initially, strategic selection is key. Consider the Wellspring Gem for battles with numerous enemies (healing based on kills), or the Ascendence Gem for duels against officers (increased block chance). While initially modest, these buffs become increasingly valuable over time.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
