"Crafting Gems Guide for Dynasty Warriors: Origins"

Embarking on your adventure in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*? One crucial element to mastering the battlefield is equipping yourself with Gems. Let’s delve into what Gems do and how you can craft them to enhance your gameplay.

How to Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are pivotal in-game items that you can craft, but unlocking them requires a few steps. Once you join Liu Bei's Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, a visit to an Inn will trigger a letter from Zhang Fei. This letter introduces you to Gems and a vital raw material called Pyroxene.

Pyroxene, appearing as large, jewel-like formations, can be found scattered across the overworld. These spawn randomly, so keep an eye out as you navigate to your next battle. Additionally, you can acquire Pyroxene by completing side quests, gathering enough Old Coins, or reading letters at the Inn. Soon, you'll amass a substantial supply.

Upon collecting Pyroxene, head back to an Inn to transform it into Gems. The crafting process is randomized; you'll select a number of Pyroxenes, and they'll be converted into one of several Gem types. Whether you craft with one or ten Pyroxenes, the outcome remains unpredictable. However, if you see a white glowing aura around a specific Gem type in the crafting menu, that's a sign that only that type of Gem can be crafted during your current Inn visit.

Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can also level up. By consistently crafting the same type of Gem, you enhance its benefits, mainly through buffs. Since you can only equip one Gem at a time initially, choosing the right one for your battles is crucial. For instance, the Wellspring Gem, which heals a set amount of health for every 100 enemy soldiers killed, is ideal for large-scale engagements. On the other hand, the Ascendance Gem, which boosts the chance of automatically blocking officer attacks, is better suited for one-on-one duels against officers and generals. Although the initial buffs might seem modest, over time, they can significantly influence the outcome of your battles.

That's the essence of crafting Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
