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:
To begin crafting, you must first progress to Chapter 1 and join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army. Visiting an Inn will trigger a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material, Pyroxene.
Acquiring Pyroxene:
Pyroxene is found throughout the overworld as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore thoroughly during your travels. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at Inns.
Crafting Gems:
Return to an Inn to craft Gems from your collected Pyroxene. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome; it's always random. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem type in the crafting menu indicates that only Gems of that 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, choose wisely. Consider the Wellspring Gem for large-scale battles (healing based on enemy kills) or the Ascendence Gem for officer duels (increased block chance). While initial buffs are modest, consistent use significantly enhances their impact.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
