Crafting Gems Guide for Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Embarking on your adventure in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, Gems stand out as essential equipment that can significantly influence your battles. Here's a comprehensive guide on what Gems are and the steps to craft them.

How to Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* are powerful, equipable items that can enhance your gameplay. To unlock the ability to craft these Gems, you'll need to join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1. Once you're part of the army, head to an Inn, where you'll receive a crucial letter from Zhang Fei. This letter introduces you to Gems and the raw material required to craft them, known as Pyroxene.

Pyroxene, which appears as large, jewel-like formations in the overworld, spawns randomly. Keep an eye out for these valuable resources as you navigate the world en route to your next battle. Additionally, you can acquire Pyroxene through various in-game activities such as completing sidequests, amassing enough Old Coins, and reading letters at the Inn. Before you know it, you'll have a substantial stockpile of Pyroxene ready for crafting.

Once you've collected Pyroxene, return to an Inn to transform it into Gems. The crafting process is randomized; you select a certain amount of Pyroxene, and the game will craft it into various types of Gems. Whether you use one piece or ten, the outcome remains unpredictable. However, a useful indicator is the white glowing aura around a Gem in the crafting menu. If you see this aura, it means only Gems of that specific type will be crafted during your current visit to the Inn.

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, Gems can level up as you continue to craft the same type. The more you refine Pyroxene into a particular Gem, the stronger its effects become. These effects are typically buffs, and since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, choosing the right Gem for your battles is crucial. For instance, the Wellspring Gem heals you for every 100 enemy soldiers you defeat, making it ideal for large-scale battles. Conversely, the Ascendence Gem increases your chance of automatically blocking officer attacks, which is perfect for one-on-one encounters with officers and generals. While the buffs might seem modest at first, they can be game-changers with enough refinement.

And that's the complete guide on how to craft Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
