Dynasty Warriors Gems Guide: Crafting Tips for Ultimate Power

Mastering Gem Crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are crucial in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, providing significant battle advantages. This guide details how to craft and utilize these powerful items.

Unlocking Gem Crafting:

To begin crafting gems, you must first progress to Chapter 1 and join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army. Visit an inn to receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing you to Gems and their raw material: Pyroxene.

Acquiring Pyroxene:

Pyroxene is found throughout the game world as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore the overworld between battles. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as rewards for completing side quests, collecting Old Coins, and reading letters at inns.

Crafting Gems:

Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an inn to initiate crafting. The crafting process is randomized. The number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome; the resulting Gem type is determined randomly. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem type in the crafting menu indicates that only Gems of that specific type can be created during that crafting session.

Gem Leveling:

Repeatedly crafting a specific Gem type will increase its effectiveness. These enhancements are primarily buffs, significantly impacting gameplay. Early in the game, you can only equip one Gem at a time, so strategic selection is key. Consider the Wellspring Gem for large-scale battles (healing based on enemy kills) or the Ascendence Gem for duels against officers (increased block chance). While initially modest, these buffs become increasingly impactful with consistent refinement.

Conclusion:

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Gem crafting in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. By strategically acquiring Pyroxene and crafting Gems, you'll significantly enhance your combat capabilities.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
