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, equippable items, 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 detailing 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. Additionally, Pyroxene can be obtained as side-quest rewards, from collecting Old Coins, and from reading inn letters, ensuring a steady supply.
Once you acquire 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 type enhances its benefits. These are primarily buffs, and since you can initially equip only one Gem at a time, choose wisely. For instance, the Wellspring Gem heals a set amount of health per 100 enemy soldiers killed, ideal for large-scale battles.
Conversely, the Ascendence Gem increases the chance of automatically blocking officer attacks, proving more useful in one-on-one officer engagements. While initially minor, these buffs significantly impact battles over time.
That's how you craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
