Crafting Gems Guide for Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Embarking on your adventure in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, you'll quickly discover the importance of Gems in turning the tide of battle. These powerful items can significantly enhance your combat abilities, and here’s a detailed guide on how to craft them.

How to Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are crucial equipable items that you can craft in-game, but you’ll need to unlock this feature first. After joining Liu Bei’s Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, head to an Inn where you’ll receive a letter from Zhang Fei. This letter introduces you to Gems and a vital raw material called Pyroxene.

Pyroxene, essential for crafting Gems, can be found across the overworld in large, jewel-like formations that spawn randomly. Keep an eye out for these as you navigate the world on your way to battles. Additionally, you can acquire Pyroxene by completing sidequests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at the Inn, ensuring you'll soon have a good stockpile.

Once you've gathered some Pyroxene, return to an Inn to start crafting your Gems. The crafting process is randomized; you select a number of Pyroxene to craft, and the game will transform them into various types of Gems. The outcome remains unpredictable whether you use one or ten pieces of Pyroxene. However, a key indicator is a white glowing aura around certain Gems in the crafting menu at the Inn. If you see this aura, it means only Gems of that type can be crafted during that session.

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, Gems can also be leveled up by repeatedly crafting the same type. The more you refine Pyroxene into a specific Gem, the stronger its effects become. These effects are typically buffs, and since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, it's crucial to consider the benefits each Gem offers in different combat scenarios. For instance, the Wellspring Gem, which heals a set amount of health for every 100 enemy soldiers defeated, is ideal for large-scale battles. Conversely, the Ascendence Gem, which boosts the chance of automatically blocking officer attacks, would be more advantageous in one-on-one encounters with officers and generals. Although the initial buffs may seem minor, over time, they can significantly impact your success in battles.

And that's the comprehensive guide on how to craft and utilize Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

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