Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gem Crafting Guide

Embarking on your *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* adventure? Gems are essential for turning the tide of battle. This guide explains their function and crafting process.

Crafting Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are craftable, equippable items, but unlocking their creation requires a few steps. After joining Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, visit an Inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and the raw material, Pyroxene.

Pyroxene is found throughout the overworld as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore while traveling between battles. You can also obtain Pyroxene as rewards for completing side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading Inn letters, ensuring a steady supply.

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to craft Gems. Crafting is randomized; the number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the Gem type created. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem in the crafting menu indicates that only that type of Gem can be crafted during that visit.

Gems level up with repeated crafting. Refining Pyroxene into a specific Gem type enhances its benefits. Since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, carefully consider each Gem's advantages. For example, the Wellspring Gem heals you for every 100 enemies defeated, ideal for large-scale battles.

Conversely, the Ascendence Gem increases your chance of blocking officer attacks, proving more useful in duels. While initial buffs are modest, they become significantly impactful over time.

This concludes your guide to crafting Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
