Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant battle advantages. This guide details their crafting process.
Unlocking Gem Crafting:
To begin crafting, join Liu Bei's army in Chapter 1. Visit an Inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material, Pyroxene.
Acquiring Pyroxene:
Pyroxene is found throughout the game world as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore the overworld 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 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 levels it up, increasing its benefits. These are primarily combat buffs. Since you can only equip one Gem at a time initially, strategic selection is key. For instance, the Wellspring Gem (healing based on enemy kills) suits large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem (increased officer attack block chance) is better for one-on-one combat. While initially small, these buffs can significantly impact battles over time.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
