How To Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

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. Visiting an Inn will trigger 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 keep an eye out during your travels. 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 initiate the crafting process. Gem creation is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't influence the type of Gem created; the outcome is always random. 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 specific visit to the Inn.

Gem Leveling:

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type will increase its effectiveness. These enhancements provide various combat buffs. Since you can only equip one Gem at a time initially, strategic selection is key. Consider the Wellspring Gem for battles with numerous enemies (health regeneration per 100 kills) or the Ascendence Gem for duels against officers (increased block chance against officer attacks). While initially modest, these buffs become increasingly impactful over time.

Availability:

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