Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant combat advantages. This guide details how to craft and utilize these powerful items.
Unlocking Gem Crafting:
The journey to crafting Gems begins after joining Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1. Visit an Inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material, Pyroxene.
Acquiring Pyroxene:
Pyroxene is found throughout the overworld as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore diligently between battles. Completing side quests, accumulating Old Coins, and reading Inn letters also yield Pyroxene.
Crafting Gems:
Return to an Inn to craft Gems from your Pyroxene. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome; it's always random. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem type in the crafting menu indicates that only that type of Gem can be created during that visit.
Gem Leveling and Strategic Use:
Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type increases its effectiveness. Early in the game, you can only equip one Gem at a time, so choose wisely. Consider the Gem's benefits: the Wellspring Gem heals you for every 100 enemies slain, ideal for large-scale battles; the Ascendence Gem boosts your chance of blocking officer attacks, better suited for duels. While initial buffs are modest, consistent crafting significantly enhances their impact.
