Boosting your character in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is key to success, and Gems are a fantastic way to do it. These equippable items provide passive buffs, offering a significant advantage, especially on higher difficulties. Crafting and upgrading these gems involves a bit of randomness, but this guide will help you master the system.
How To Craft & Level Up Gems In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Gem crafting uses Pyroxene and can be done at any Inn or tent. In your room, select "Create Gems" (the second option from the top). You can use as many Pyroxene as you like, with a one-to-one conversion rate. There are five craftable gems, and each Pyroxene has a chance of creating any of them.
Once crafted, a gem starts at level 1 and can be equipped in the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicates of a gem grants XP, leveling it up and increasing its potency. If you don't mind randomness, use all your Pyroxene at once for a broad upgrade across all gem types.
For more control, try crafting one gem at a time. Occasionally, "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" activates, limiting the gem choices for your Pyroxene. You can cancel this effect and retry if it doesn't offer your desired gem. While this helps, it doesn't eliminate the random element entirely.

Where To Get Pyroxene In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Pyroxene appears as orange crystals scattered throughout the overworld. Interacting with a crystal yields one Pyroxene, after which the crystal disappears. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes and battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. You can also occasionally find Pyroxene in letters received in your Inn or tent room.
