Crafting Gems Guide for Dynasty Warriors: Origins

As you embark on your epic journey through *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, mastering the art of Gem crafting can significantly enhance your battlefield prowess. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what Gems do and how to craft them effectively.

How To Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are crucial, equipable items that you can craft within the game, but unlocking this feature requires a few initial steps. Once you join Lui Bei’s Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, make your way to an Inn. There, you'll receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing you to the world of Gems and a vital crafting material known as Pyroxene.

Pyroxene, the key to crafting Gems, can be discovered in the overworld in the form of large, jewel-like formations. These formations spawn randomly, so keep your eyes peeled as you traverse the world to your next battle. Besides finding them in the wild, you can also acquire Pyroxene as rewards for completing side quests, amassing Old Coins, and perusing letters at the Inn. With these various methods, you'll soon amass a substantial stockpile of Pyroxene.

After collecting Pyroxene, head back to an Inn to start crafting your Gems. The crafting process is randomized; you select a number of Pyroxene pieces, and they will transform into one of several types of Gems. Whether you use one piece or ten, the outcome remains unpredictable. The only hint you get about the potential results is a white glowing aura around certain Gems in the crafting menu at the Inn. If you see this aura, only Gems of that type can be crafted during that session.

Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can also level up as you repeatedly craft the same type. The more you refine Pyroxene into a specific Gem, the more powerful its effects become. These enhancements are primarily buffs, and since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, choosing the right Gem for your battle strategy is crucial. For instance, the Wellspring Gem heals a set amount of health for every 100 enemy soldiers you defeat, making it ideal for large-scale battles.

Conversely, the Ascendence Gem increases the likelihood of automatically blocking officer attacks, proving more beneficial in one-on-one encounters with officers and generals. Although the buffs start small, with persistence and strategic crafting, they can make a significant difference in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.

And that’s the complete 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.
