Boosting your character's power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is achievable in several ways, one of which involves utilizing Gems. Gems provide passive bonuses and can be equipped at any point, offering a significant advantage, especially at higher difficulty levels.

This guide details gem crafting, upgrading, and strategies to increase your chances of obtaining specific gems. The process involves a degree of randomness, but these tips will help you optimize your gem collection.

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

Gem creation utilizes Pyroxene and can be initiated at any Inn or tent. Access the "Create Gems" option (usually the second from the top in your room's menu). You can use Pyroxene to craft gems at a one-to-one ratio. A limited number of gem types are craftable, and each Pyroxene has an equal chance of yielding any of these five gems.

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

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. This effect, triggered randomly upon crafting a single gem, limits the possible gem outcomes for subsequent Pyroxene usage. You can reset this effect by exiting and re-entering the gem crafting menu. While crafting one gem at a time is slower, it increases your odds of activating "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem.

Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces, but doesn't eliminate, the random element of gem crafting.

Here's a list of craftable gems and their effects:

Gem Name Passive Boost Oblivion Gem Expands attack range. Vortex Gem Increases damage to airborne enemies. Scorch Gem Boosts damage against parried enemies. Wellspring Gem Restores health for every 100 enemies defeated. Ascendance Gem Chance to automatically block enemy officer attacks.

Where To Find 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 in the overworld after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. You may also occasionally receive Pyroxene through in-game letters read in your Inn or tent room.
