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 via the "Create Gems" option (second from the top) within your Inn or tent room. Pyroxene is consumed at 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 equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicate gems grants experience (XP), increasing the gem's level and potency. While random crafting is efficient for overall gem improvement, targeted crafting is possible.

Targeted Crafting: Crafting a single gem at a time has a chance to trigger "Eyes of the Sacred Bird," limiting the possible gem outcomes to three randomly selected gems for all subsequent Pyroxene usage. This effect can be reset by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. This method requires patience but allows for focusing on specific gems. Even with "Eyes of the Sacred Bird," some randomness remains.

Pyroxene Locations

Pyroxene crystals, appearing as orange crystals, randomly spawn across the overworld map. Each collected crystal yields one Pyroxene. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may occasionally reward Pyroxene.
