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, offering a significant advantage, especially at higher difficulties. This guide details gem crafting, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.
Crafting and Leveling Gems
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 offering a chance to create any of them.
Newly crafted gems start at level 1 and are equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicates of a gem grants experience (XP), increasing its level and potency. For broad improvement, craft numerous gems at once.
For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem may trigger this effect, randomly selecting three gems for subsequent Pyroxene use. Cancel the effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting one gem at a time increases the chance of activating "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 per 100 defeated enemies. |
| Ascendance Gem | Chance to automatically block officer attacks. |
Pyroxene Locations
Pyroxene crystals, appearing as orange crystals, randomly spawn in 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 read in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
