Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant combat advantages. This guide details how to acquire and craft these powerful items.

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

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

Crafting Gems:

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to begin crafting. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't influence the type of Gem created; the outcome is 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 visit.

Gem Leveling:

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type will increase its effectiveness. These buffs, while initially small, become increasingly impactful. Strategic Gem selection is crucial, as only one Gem can be equipped at a time. Consider the Wellspring Gem for large-scale battles (healing based on enemy kills) or the Ascendence Gem for officer duels (increased block chance).

Conclusion:

By following these steps, you can effectively craft and utilize Gems to enhance your combat prowess in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
