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:
Initially, gem crafting is unavailable. After joining Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, visit an inn. You'll receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material: Pyroxene.
Acquiring Pyroxene:
Pyroxene is found throughout the overworld as large, crystalline formations. These spawn randomly, so explore thoroughly between battles. 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 your collected Pyroxene. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome; it's always random. 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:
Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type increases its effectiveness. These buffs, while initially small, become increasingly impactful. Consider the Gem's benefits carefully, as only one Gem can be equipped at a time. For example, the Wellspring Gem is ideal for large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem is better suited for officer duels.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
