How To Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

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 equipment 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 their 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 acquire Pyroxene as a side-quest reward, from collecting Old Coins, and from Inn letters, ensuring a steady supply.

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to craft Gems. The crafting process is randomized. Regardless of the Pyroxene quantity used (one or ten), the resulting Gem type is random. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem in the crafting menu indicates that only that Gem type can be crafted during that visit.

Gems level up with repeated crafting. Refining enough Pyroxene into a specific Gem type enhances its benefits. These are primarily buffs, and since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, choose wisely. For example, the Wellspring Gem heals a set amount of health per 100 enemy soldiers killed, ideal for large-scale battles.

Conversely, the Ascendence Gem increases the chance of automatically blocking officer attacks, proving more useful in one-on-one officer engagements. While these initial buffs are small, they can significantly impact battle outcomes with sufficient refinement.
