In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, one of the most effective ways to bolster your character's strength is through the use of Gems. These versatile accessories can be equipped at any point during your gameplay, providing passive buffs that are particularly useful when tackling higher difficulty levels.

Crafting and upgrading these gems might seem a bit like a gamble, but with the right strategies, you can optimize your gem collection. Here's a detailed guide on how to craft and level up gems, as well as tips for increasing your chances of getting the gems you desire.

How To Craft & Level Up Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gem crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is facilitated by Pyroxene, and you can engage in this activity at any Inn or tent. Once you're in your room, navigate to the "Create Gems" option, which is the second from the top. Here, you can use your Pyroxene to craft gems at a straightforward one-to-one ratio. There are five distinct types of gems you can craft, and each Pyroxene used has an equal chance of yielding any one of these gems.

Upon crafting a base gem, it starts at level 1 and can be equipped through the Battle Preparations menu. Every subsequent gem of the same type you craft will contribute XP to the base gem, enhancing its level and effectiveness. If you're not particular about specific gems, you can use all your Pyroxene at once to craft multiple gems, which will randomly level up your existing gems.

For those who have their eyes set on particular gems, there's a feature called "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." This feature might activate when you craft a single gem, temporarily limiting the types of gems that can be crafted with subsequent Pyroxene. This effect can be canceled by exiting and re-entering the gem crafting menu. While crafting one gem at a time can be time-consuming, it's a strategy you can employ to increase your chances of activating Eyes of the Sacred Bird for the gem you're focusing on.

Despite the help from Eyes of the Sacred Bird, the randomness in gem crafting remains a core element of the game.

Here's a rundown of the five gems you can craft along with their passive boosts:

Where To Get Pyroxene In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Pyroxene, the essential resource for gem crafting, can be found scattered throughout the overworld, appearing as distinctive orange crystals protruding from the ground. Collecting one of these crystals will grant you a single Pyroxene and cause the crystal to vanish. Completing Skirmishes or Battles will trigger the respawning of Pyroxene across the map, encouraging you to revisit and explore previously cleared areas. Additionally, you might receive Pyroxene through letters that can be read in your room at an Inn or a tent.
