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. Select "Create Gems" (second option from the top in your room menu). Pyroxene is consumed at a 1:1 ratio to craft gems. Five unique gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.
Initially crafted gems are level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicate gems 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 "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." Crafting a single gem has a chance to trigger this, limiting subsequent gem creation to three randomly selected types. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting individually increases your chances 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.
| 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 appears as orange crystals scattered throughout the overworld. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene and removes the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters received in your Inn or tent room also occasionally contain Pyroxene.
