How To Craft & Use Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Farming Guide

Boost your character's strength in Dynasty Warriors: Origins by crafting and upgrading Gems! Gems provide passive buffs, significantly aiding higher difficulty gameplay. This guide details gem crafting, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.

Crafting and Leveling Gems

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and is accessible at any Inn or tent. Select "Create Gems" (the second option in your room's menu) to begin. Pyroxene is consumed at a 1:1 ratio for gem creation. Five unique gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.

Initially crafted gems are level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicate gems grants experience (XP), leveling up the base gem and increasing its effectiveness. For broad improvement, use all Pyroxene at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem sometimes triggers this, limiting subsequent gem creation to three randomly selected gems. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting one gem at a time increases the chance of activating "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that even with this effect, some randomness remains.

Acquiring Pyroxene

Pyroxene, represented as orange crystals, randomly spawns across the overworld map. Collect one Pyroxene per crystal; collected crystals disappear. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters received in your Inn or tent room also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
