Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant battlefield advantages. This guide explains how to craft and utilize these powerful items.
Unlocking Gem Crafting:
To begin crafting, you must first progress to Chapter 1 and join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army. Visit an Inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material, Pyroxene.
Acquiring Pyroxene:
Pyroxene is found throughout the overworld as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so keep an eye out while traveling between battles. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for completing side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at Inns.
Crafting Gems:
Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to initiate the crafting process. Gem creation 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 visit.

Gem Enhancement:
Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type will increase its effectiveness. These enhancements provide various buffs, significantly impacting combat. Early game limitations allow only one equipped Gem at a time, so strategic selection is key. Consider the Wellspring Gem for large-scale battles (health regeneration per 100 enemy kills) or the Ascendence Gem for officer duels (increased auto-block chance).
Conclusion:
By following these steps, you can effectively craft and utilize Gems to gain a decisive edge in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
