How To Craft & Use Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Farming Guide

Boost your character's power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins by crafting and upgrading Gems! Gems provide passive buffs, significantly aiding higher difficulty gameplay. This guide details gem crafting, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.

Gem Crafting and Leveling

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and is accessible at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (the second option). You can use any number of Pyroxene, with a 1:1 ratio for gem creation. Five unique gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.

Crafted gems begin at level 1 and are equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Duplicate gems grant experience (XP) to their base gem, increasing its potency with each level. For broad improvement, use all Pyroxene at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem sometimes triggers this, limiting subsequent gem creations to three random types. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting individually increases the chance of triggering "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note: "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces randomness but doesn't eliminate it entirely.

Here's a breakdown of the five craftable gems:

Pyroxene Locations

Pyroxene, represented as orange crystals, randomly spawns across the overworld. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene and removes the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room occasionally reward Pyroxene.
