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
To begin crafting Gems, you must first progress to Chapter 1 and join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army. 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, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore diligently during your travels. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for completing side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at Inns.
Crafting Gems
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 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 crafting session.

Gem Leveling and Strategic Use
Gems level up as you craft them repeatedly. Focusing on a specific Gem type enhances its benefits. Since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, choose wisely based on the battle type. The Wellspring Gem, for example, is ideal for large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem is better suited for duels against officers. While initial buffs are modest, consistent crafting significantly improves their effectiveness.
Conclusion
This guide covers Gem crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Strategic Gem selection and consistent crafting are key to maximizing your combat potential.
