Craft Gems for Victory 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 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 to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing you to 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 crafting is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't influence the type of gem created. 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 and Strategic Use:

Repeatedly crafting a specific gem type will increase its effectiveness. Since you can only equip one gem at a time initially, careful selection is key. Consider the Wellspring Gem for battles with numerous enemies (healing based on kills), or the Ascendence Gem for duels against officers (increased block chance). While initial buffs are modest, consistent crafting significantly enhances their impact.

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