How To Craft & Use Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Guide to Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Acquisition

Boost your character's power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins by mastering the gem system. Gems provide passive buffs, significantly aiding higher difficulty gameplay. This guide covers gem crafting, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.

Gem Crafting and Leveling

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and is accessible at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (second option). Pyroxene is consumed at a 1:1 ratio to craft gems. Five unique gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.

Crafted gems begin at level 1 and can be equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Duplicate gems grant experience (XP) to their base gem, increasing its potency with each level. For broad improvements, use all Pyroxene at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." Crafting a single gem may trigger this effect, limiting the possible gems created with subsequent Pyroxene use to three random selections. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting one gem at a time increases the chance of triggering "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces, but doesn't eliminate, randomness.

Here's a breakdown of the five craftable gems:

Pyroxene Locations

Pyroxene appears as orange crystals scattered throughout the overworld. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene, removing the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
