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 valuable items.

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

Initially, gem crafting is unavailable. After joining Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, visit an inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei. This letter introduces 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. Additional Pyroxene can be obtained by completing side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at inns.

Crafting Gems:

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an inn to begin crafting. The crafting process 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 specific type can be crafted during that visit.

Gem Leveling:

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type increases its effectiveness. These buffs, while initially small, become increasingly powerful. Strategic Gem selection is vital, as only one Gem can be equipped at a time. Consider the Wellspring Gem for large-scale battles (healing based on enemy kills) or the Ascendence Gem for officer duels (increased block chance).

Conclusion:

This guide provides a complete overview of Gem crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. By strategically gathering Pyroxene and crafting Gems, you'll significantly enhance your combat capabilities.

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