How To Craft & Use Gems 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 Up Gems

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and occurs at any Inn or tent. Select "Create Gems" (second option from the top in your room's menu). You can use Pyroxene to craft gems at a 1:1 ratio. Five distinct gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.

Crafted gems begin at level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Duplicate gems grant experience (XP) to the base gem, increasing its potency with each level. For broad improvement, craft multiple gems at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem occasionally triggers this, limiting subsequent gem creations to three randomly selected options. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting individually increases your chances of triggering "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces, but doesn't eliminate, randomness.

Acquiring Pyroxene

Pyroxene, represented as orange crystals, randomly spawns across the overworld map. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene and removes the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room occasionally reward Pyroxene.
