Boosting your character in Dynasty Warriors: Origins involves leveraging the power of Gems. These equippable gems provide passive buffs, significantly aiding your progress, especially on higher difficulty settings. Crafting and upgrading these gems adds a layer of strategic depth to the game. While the system incorporates some randomness, understanding the mechanics can maximize your chances of obtaining the gems you need.

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

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and can be initiated at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (the second option from the top). You can then use your Pyroxene to craft gems at a one-to-one ratio. A fixed number of gem types are available, with each Pyroxene offering a chance to create one of five gems.

Initially crafted gems are level 1 and can be equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicate gems grants experience points (XP) to the base gem, increasing its potency with each level. If you're not focused on specific gems, using all your Pyroxene at once to craft and upgrade multiple gems simultaneously is a viable approach.

For those seeking specific gems, the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect may trigger during single gem crafting. This effect randomly selects three gems, limiting the crafting possibilities for subsequent Pyroxene use. You can cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the gem crafting menu. Crafting one gem at a time is more time-consuming but increases your chances of activating "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that even with "Eyes of the Sacred Bird," some randomness remains.

Here are the five craftable gems:

Where To Get Pyroxene In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Pyroxene crystals randomly appear throughout the overworld as orange crystals protruding from the ground. Interacting with a crystal yields one Pyroxene, after which the crystal disappears. Pyroxene respawns in the overworld after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally reward you with Pyroxene.
