Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Gem Crafting and Pyroxene Farming Guide
Boost your character's power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins with Gems! These equippable items provide passive buffs, significantly aiding higher difficulty gameplay. This guide details gem crafting, upgrading, and Pyroxene acquisition.
Gem Crafting and Leveling
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). Pyroxene is consumed at a 1:1 ratio to craft gems. Five distinct gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.
Crafted gems begin at level 1 and can be equipped via the Battle Preparations menu. Crafting duplicate gems grants experience (XP), leveling up the base gem and increasing its effectiveness. For broad improvement, use all Pyroxene at once.
For targeted gem acquisition, utilize the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect. Crafting a single gem has a chance to trigger this, limiting subsequent gem creations to three randomly selected types. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting individually increases your chances of triggering "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 defeated enemies. |
| Ascendance Gem | Chance to automatically block officer attacks. |
Pyroxene Locations
Pyroxene crystals (orange) randomly appear across the overworld map. Collecting one depletes the crystal. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters found in your Inn or tent room occasionally reward Pyroxene.
