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, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.
Gem Crafting and Leveling
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). You can use Pyroxene to craft gems at a 1:1 ratio. Five unique gems are craftable, with each Pyroxene yielding a random gem.
Crafted gems begin at level 1 and are equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicates grants experience (XP) to the base gem, increasing its potency with each level. For broad improvements, use all Pyroxene at once.
For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem sometimes triggers this, limiting subsequent gem creation to three random types. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting individually increases the chance of triggering "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" for your desired gem. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces randomness but doesn't eliminate it.
Here's a breakdown of the 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 for every 100 enemies defeated. |
| Ascendance Gem | Chance to automatically block officer attacks. |
Pyroxene Locations
Pyroxene appears as orange crystals scattered throughout the overworld. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene, removing the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters found in your Inn or tent room also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
