Embarking on your adventure in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, you'll soon discover the importance of Gems, pivotal items that can significantly influence your battles. Here's how to craft these powerful tools and what they can do for you.

How To Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Gems are special equipable items you can craft within the game, but unlocking this feature requires a few initial steps. Once you join Liu Bei’s Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, head to an Inn. There, you'll receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing you to Gems and a crucial crafting material called Pyroxene.

Pyroxene, essential for crafting Gems, appears as large, jewel-like formations scattered randomly across the overworld. Keep an eye out for these while traversing the world en route to your next battle. Additionally, you can acquire Pyroxene by completing side quests, gathering enough Old Coins, and reading letters at the Inn. With diligence, you'll quickly amass a sufficient supply.

Once you've collected some Pyroxene, head back to an Inn to start crafting your Gems. The crafting process is randomized; you select a number of Pyroxene pieces, and they'll be transformed into one of several types of Gems. Whether you use one or ten pieces, the outcome remains unpredictable. However, a helpful indicator is the white glowing aura around certain Gems in the crafting menu at the Inn. If you see this aura, it means only Gems of that type can be crafted during that session.

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, Gems can be leveled up by repeatedly crafting the same type. The more you refine Pyroxene into a specific Gem, the more potent its effects become. Initially, you can only equip one Gem at a time, so choosing the right one for your battle strategy is crucial. For instance, the Wellspring Gem heals you for every 100 enemy soldiers you defeat, making it ideal for large-scale battles. On the other hand, the Ascendence Gem increases your chances of automatically blocking officer attacks, which could be more beneficial in one-on-one duels with officers and generals. Although the buffs start small, over time, they can significantly impact your success in combat.

And that's the complete guide on how to craft Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

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