Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

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

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

To begin crafting Gems, you must first progress to Chapter 1 and join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army. Visit an Inn; you'll 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 the overworld between battles. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for completing side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at Inns.

Crafting Gems:

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to craft Gems. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the type of Gem created. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem type in the crafting menu indicates that only Gems of that type can be crafted during that session.

Gem Leveling:

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type will increase its effectiveness. These buffs, while initially small, become increasingly valuable as you progress. Consider the Gem's benefits when selecting one for battle. For instance, the Wellspring Gem is ideal for large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem shines in one-on-one officer encounters.

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