In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, enhancing your character's strength involves utilizing Gems, which are essential for boosting performance, especially on higher difficulty levels. These Gems provide passive buffs and can be equipped at any point during gameplay, making them crucial for strategic play.

The process of crafting and upgrading gems may seem random, but there are strategies to increase your chances of obtaining the gems you need. Below, you'll find detailed instructions on how to craft and level up gems, as well as tips for acquiring Pyroxene, the key material needed for gem crafting.

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

Crafting gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is facilitated through the use of Pyroxene, available at any Inn or tent within the game. When you're in your room, select the "Create Gems" option, the second from the top, to begin the crafting process. Here, you can use as much Pyroxene as you have, with each piece having a chance to create one of five possible gems at a one-to-one ratio.

Once crafted, a gem starts at level 1 and can be equipped through the Battle Preparations menu. Each subsequent gem of the same type you craft will contribute XP to the base gem, increasing its level and enhancing its effect. 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 seeking specific gems, you might trigger the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect, which temporarily limits the types of gems that can be crafted. This feature can be activated by crafting a single gem at a time, although it's a bit of a gamble. You can exit and re-enter the gem crafting menu to cancel this effect if it doesn't suit your needs. "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" helps mitigate 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, essential for crafting gems, can be found scattered throughout the game's overworld as orange crystals protruding from the ground. Interacting with these crystals will yield one Pyroxene, after which the crystal will vanish. After completing Skirmishes or Battles, some Pyroxene will respawn across the overworld map, encouraging you to revisit and explore previously cleared areas for new opportunities. Additionally, you might occasionally receive Pyroxene through letters, which can be read in your room at an Inn or tent.
