Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gems Guide: Crafting Secrets Revealed

Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant battle advantages. This guide details how to craft and utilize these powerful items.

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

To unlock gem crafting, join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1. Visit an inn to receive 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 diligently between battles. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading inn letters.

Crafting Gems:

Return to an inn to craft Gems from 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 created during that visit.

Gem Leveling and Strategic Use:

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type will increase its effectiveness. Since you can initially equip only one Gem, choose wisely based on the battle situation. The Wellspring Gem, for example, is ideal for large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem excels in officer duels. While initial buffs are modest, their cumulative effect becomes significant over time.

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