Craft Epic Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

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 overworld as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore the map diligently. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading Inn letters.

Crafting Gems

Return to an Inn to craft Gems from Pyroxene. 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 guarantees that only Gems of that type will be created during that crafting session.

Gem Leveling and Strategic Use

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type increases its effectiveness. Since only one Gem can be equipped initially, choose wisely based on the battle situation. The Wellspring Gem, for example, is ideal against large enemy groups, while the Ascendence Gem excels in officer duels. While initially modest, these buffs become increasingly impactful over time.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
