In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, one effective way to enhance your character's strength is by utilizing Gems. These Gems provide passive buffs that can significantly boost your performance, especially on higher difficulty levels. You can craft new Gems and level up existing ones, though the process involves a degree of randomness. Here's a detailed guide on how to craft and level up Gems, as well as tips to increase your chances of getting the specific Gems you desire.

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

Gem crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is facilitated by Pyroxene, which you can use at any Inn or tent within the game. When you're in your room, select the "Create Gems" option, the second from the top. You can use as many Pyroxene as you wish, with each Pyroxene having a chance to craft one of five possible Gems at a one-to-one ratio.

Once you craft a base Gem, it starts at level 1 and can be equipped through the Battle Preparations menu. Subsequent crafts of the same Gem type will contribute XP to the base Gem, enhancing its level and effectiveness. If you're not particular about which Gems you get, it's beneficial to use all your Pyroxene at once to craft multiple Gems and level them up randomly.

For those who prefer specific Gems, there's a feature called "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." This activates randomly when crafting a single Gem and limits the types of Gems that can be crafted with the Pyroxene used. You can cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the gem crafting menu. While crafting one Gem at a time can be time-consuming, it's a strategy to try and activate Eyes of the Sacred Bird for the Gem you're focusing on. This feature helps manage the randomness of Gem crafting but doesn't eliminate it entirely.

Here are the five Gems you can craft, along with their passive boosts:

Where To Get Pyroxene In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Pyroxene can be found scattered throughout the overworld, appearing as orange crystals protruding from the ground. Interacting with these crystals will yield one Pyroxene and cause the crystal to vanish. After completing Skirmishes or Battles, some Pyroxene will respawn on the overworld map, encouraging you to revisit and explore previously explored areas. Additionally, you might occasionally receive Pyroxene from letters, which you can read in your room at an Inn or tent.
