Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant battlefield advantages. This guide details how to acquire and craft these powerful items.
Unlocking Gem Crafting:
Initially, gem crafting is unavailable. After joining 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 diligently during your travels. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for completing side quests, accumulating 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 resulting gem type. However, a white glowing aura around a gem type in the crafting menu indicates that only gems of that specific type can be created during that crafting session.
Gem Leveling:
Repeatedly crafting a specific gem type will increase its effectiveness. These enhancements provide various buffs. Since only one gem can be equipped at a time early in the game, strategic gem selection is vital. For example, the Wellspring Gem's healing effect is beneficial in large-scale battles, while the Ascendence Gem's increased block chance proves more useful in officer duels. While initial buffs are modest, consistent crafting significantly improves their impact.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
