How To Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

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

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

Initially, gem crafting is unavailable. After joining Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, 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 begin crafting. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome; the resulting Gem type is always random. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem in the crafting menu indicates that only that Gem type can be crafted during that session.

Gem Leveling:

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

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