In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, enhancing your character's strength is crucial, and one of the most effective ways to do so is through the use of Gems. These Gems provide passive buffs that can significantly boost your gameplay, especially on higher difficulty levels. You can craft new gems and level up the ones you have, although the process can feel somewhat random. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to craft and level up gems, as well as tips to increase your chances of getting the specific gems you desire.

How To Craft & Level Up Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Crafting gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins requires Pyroxene, and you can do this at any Inn or tent in the game. Once you’re in your room, select the "Create Gems" option, the second from the top. You can use as many Pyroxene as you wish, with each one having a chance to craft one of the five available gems at a one-to-one ratio.

When you craft a base gem, it starts at level 1 and can be equipped through the Battle Preparations menu. Each time you craft the same type of gem again, it contributes XP to the base gem, leveling it up and enhancing its effectiveness. If you're not particular about which gems you get, it's beneficial to use all your Pyroxene at once to craft multiple gems and level them up randomly.

For those who prefer specific gems, you might trigger the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect, which temporarily limits the gems that can be crafted to three types. This effect activates randomly when crafting a single gem. You can cancel it by exiting and re-entering the gem crafting menu. While crafting one gem at a time can be time-consuming, it's a strategy to try and activate Eyes of the Sacred Bird to focus on your desired gem.

Keep in mind that Eyes of the Sacred Bird helps to reduce the randomness of Gem Crafting but doesn't eliminate it entirely.

The five gems you can craft are:

Gem NamePassive BoostOblivion GemExpands attack range.Vortex GemBoosts damage to enemies launched into the air.Scorch GemBoosts damage dealt to enemies with parries.Wellspring GemRestores health for every 100 enemies defeated.Ascendance GemActivates a chance to automatically block an attack from an enemy officer.

Where To Get Pyroxene In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Pyroxene, essential for crafting gems, can be found scattered throughout the overworld as orange crystals protruding from the ground. Interacting with these crystals will grant you one Pyroxene, and the crystal will then vanish. After completing Skirmishes or Battles, some Pyroxene crystals will respawn, encouraging you to revisit and explore previously cleared areas. Additionally, you may occasionally receive Pyroxene from letters you can read in your room at the Inn or a tent.
