Gems of Power: Crafting and Mastery in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Farming Guide

Boost your character's power 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. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (the second option). Pyroxene is consumed at a 1:1 ratio to craft gems. Five distinct gems are craftable, with each Pyroxene offering a random chance at creating one of them.

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 potency. For broad upgrades, use all Pyroxene at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem has a chance to trigger this effect, limiting the randomly generated gems to three specific choices for subsequent Pyroxene use. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting one gem at a time increases the odds of activating "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces randomness but doesn't eliminate it entirely.

Here's a breakdown of the five craftable gems:

Acquiring Pyroxene

Pyroxene crystals appear randomly throughout the overworld as orange crystals. Interacting with a crystal yields one Pyroxene, after which it disappears. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
