In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, enhancing your character's strength is crucial for tackling higher difficulty levels, and one effective way to do this is through the use of Gems. These powerful accessories provide passive buffs that can significantly boost your performance in battle. You can both craft new gems and level up existing ones, though the process involves a degree of randomness. Here’s a detailed guide on how to craft and level up gems, along with 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 involves using Pyroxene, which can be done at any Inn or tent within the game. Once in your room, select the second option from the top labeled "Create Gems." You can use as many Pyroxene as you wish, crafting gems at a one-to-one ratio. There are five types of gems that can be crafted, and each Pyroxene has a chance to produce any one of these gems.
Upon crafting a base gem, it starts at level 1 and can be equipped during your Battle Preparations. When you craft additional gems of the same type, they contribute XP to the base gem, helping it level up and increase its effectiveness with each level gained. 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 have specific gems in mind, there's a feature called "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" that might activate when crafting a single gem. This feature limits the types of gems that can be crafted with the Pyroxene used, randomly selecting three types. You can cancel this effect 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" for the gem you're focusing on.
Although "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" helps reduce the randomness of gem crafting, it doesn't eliminate it entirely.
Here are the five gems you can craft, along with their passive boosts:
Gem Name | Passive Boost |
---|
Oblivion Gem | Expands attack range. |
Vortex Gem | Boosts damage to enemies launched into the air. |
Scorch Gem | Boosts damage dealt to enemies with parries. |
Wellspring Gem | Restores health for every 100 enemies defeated. |
Ascendance Gem | Activates 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 game's overworld as orange crystals protruding from the ground. Interacting with these crystals will yield one Pyroxene and cause the crystal to disappear. After completing Skirmishes or Battles, some Pyroxene will respawn on the overworld map, encouraging you to revisit and explore previously cleared areas. Additionally, you might occasionally receive Pyroxene from letters, which you can read in your room at an Inn or a tent.
