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, leveling, and Pyroxene acquisition.
Crafting and Leveling Gems
Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and is accessible at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (second option from the top). Pyroxene converts to gems at a 1:1 ratio. Five distinct gems are craftable, with each Pyroxene yielding a random gem.
Initially crafted gems are level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicate gems grants experience (XP), leveling up the base gem and enhancing its potency. For broad improvement, expend all Pyroxene at once.
For targeted gem acquisition, utilize "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." Crafting a single gem may trigger this, limiting subsequent Pyroxene creations to three specific gems. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, single-gem crafting increases the chance of activating "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces, but doesn't eliminate, randomness.
Here's a breakdown of the five craftable gems:
| Gem Name | Passive Boost |
|---|---|
| Oblivion Gem | Expands attack range. |
| Vortex Gem | Boosts damage to airborne enemies. |
| Scorch Gem | Boosts damage against parried enemies. |
| Wellspring Gem | Restores health per 100 defeated enemies. |
| Ascendance Gem | Chance to automatically block officer attacks. |
Acquiring Pyroxene
Pyroxene crystals (orange) randomly appear in the overworld. Interacting with a crystal yields one Pyroxene, after which the crystal vanishes. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters received in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally contain Pyroxene.
