Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant combat advantages. This guide details how to craft and utilize these powerful items.
Gem crafting isn't immediately available. After joining Liu Bei's army in Chapter 1, visit an Inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material: Pyroxene.
Pyroxene is found throughout the game world as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore thoroughly between battles. Pyroxene can also be obtained from side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading Inn letters.
Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to craft Gems. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome; it's entirely 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 visit.
Gems level up with repeated crafting. Focusing on a specific Gem type enhances its effects. Since you can only equip one Gem at a time initially, careful selection is key.
Consider the Wellspring Gem, which heals you for each 100 enemies defeated – ideal for large-scale battles. Conversely, the Ascendence Gem, improving your chances of blocking officer attacks, shines in one-on-one duels. While initial buffs are small, consistent crafting significantly impacts combat effectiveness.
This concludes your guide to Gem crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
