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.

Crafting and Leveling Gems

Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and occurs 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 having a chance to yield any of these.

Newly crafted gems start at level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicates grants experience (XP) to the base gem, increasing its potency with each level. For broad improvement, use all Pyroxene at once.

For targeted gem acquisition, utilize "Eyes of the Sacred Bird." Crafting a single gem sometimes activates this effect, randomly selecting three gems for subsequent Pyroxene use. Cancel this by exiting and restarting 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.

Pyroxene Locations

Pyroxene, represented as orange crystals, randomly spawns across the overworld map. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene and removes the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room occasionally reward Pyroxene.

This comprehensive guide empowers you to effectively utilize gems and enhance your Dynasty Warriors: Origins experience.
