How To Craft & Use Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Farming Guide

Boost your character's power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins by crafting and upgrading Gems! Gems provide passive buffs, significantly aiding higher difficulty gameplay. This guide details gem crafting, leveling, and Pyroxene acquisition.

Crafting and Leveling Gems

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and occurs at any Inn or tent. Select "Create Gems" (second option from the top in your room's menu). You can use Pyroxene to craft gems at a 1:1 ratio. Five unique gems are craftable, with each Pyroxene yielding a random gem.

Crafted gems begin at level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicates grants experience (XP) to the base gem, increasing its potency with each level. For broad improvement, craft all Pyroxene at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." Crafting a single gem sometimes activates this, limiting subsequent Pyroxene crafts to three random gems. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, single-gem crafting increases the chance of triggering "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces randomness but doesn't eliminate it.

Here's a list of craftable gems and their effects:

Pyroxene Locations

Pyroxene appears randomly as orange crystals in the overworld. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene, removing the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
