Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Guide to Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Acquisition
Boost your character's power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins by utilizing Gems! These equippable gems provide passive buffs, significantly aiding higher difficulty gameplay. This guide details gem crafting, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.
Gem Crafting and Leveling
Gem crafting uses Pyroxene and is accessible at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (second option). You can use Pyroxene to craft gems at a 1:1 ratio. Five distinct gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.
Crafted gems begin at level 1 and are equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Duplicate gems provide 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 has a chance to trigger this, limiting subsequent gem creation to three randomly selected gems. Cancel this 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 even with "Eyes of the Sacred Bird," some randomness remains.
| 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 enemies defeated. |
| Ascendance Gem | Chance to automatically block officer attacks. |
Pyroxene Locations
Pyroxene, represented as orange crystals, randomly spawns across the overworld map. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene, removing the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters received in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally contain Pyroxene.
