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
Gem crafting unlocks 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.
Acquiring Pyroxene
Pyroxene is found throughout the game world as large, gem-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore the overworld between battles. Pyroxene can also be obtained as rewards for side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading Inn letters.
Crafting Gems
Return to an Inn to craft Pyroxene into Gems. The crafting process is randomized; the number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome. 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 session.
Gem Leveling and Strategic Use
Gems level up with repeated crafting. Focus on refining Pyroxene into a specific Gem type to enhance its benefits. Since only one Gem can be equipped initially, choose wisely based on your battle strategy. The Wellspring Gem, for example, is ideal for large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem excels in officer duels. While initial buffs are modest, consistent crafting significantly impacts battlefield performance.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
