Embarking on your *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* adventure? Gems are essential for turning the tide of battle. This guide explains their function and crafting process.
Crafting Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Gems are craftable equipment, but unlocking their creation requires a few steps. After joining Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, visit an Inn. You'll receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing Gems and their raw material: Pyroxene.
Pyroxene is found throughout the overworld as large, jewel-like formations. These spawn randomly, so explore while traveling between battles. You can also acquire Pyroxene as side-quest rewards, from collecting Old Coins, and by reading Inn letters, ensuring a steady supply.
Once you've gathered Pyroxene, return to an Inn to craft Gems. Crafting is randomized; the number of Pyroxene used doesn't affect the outcome. However, a white glowing aura around a Gem type in the crafting menu indicates that only Gems of that type can be created during that visit.

Gems level up with repeated crafting. Refining enough Pyroxene into a specific Gem enhances its benefits. These are primarily buffs, and since you can initially equip only one Gem, careful selection is crucial. For instance, the Wellspring Gem heals you for each 100 enemies slain, ideal for large-scale battles.
Conversely, the Ascendence Gem increases the chance of blocking officer attacks, better suited for one-on-one engagements. While initially small, these buffs can significantly impact battle outcomes with enough refinement.
That's how you craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
