The more you keep exploring the world of Dynasty Warriors Origins, the more unique items you will come across. While you can purchase new weapons and gear from any of the stores within the inns, you can also head over here to learn how to craft Gems. Gem crafting is a crucial component in Dynasty Warriors Origins, and they can grant your hero several benefits that will help in combat. There is a lot to learn about Gem crafting, so in this guide we will break down how to craft Gems, best Gems, and all Gem types in Dynasty Warriors Origins.
How To Craft Gems In Dynasty Warriors Origins
You can start crafting Gems as soon as you find Pyroxene in the wild. These strange nodes can be found quite early in the game while exploring the map. Once you pick up your first Pyroxene ore, you can head back to any nearest inn. Inside the lodge, you will find a new menu option called Create Gems. If you head into this menu, you will find the amount of Pyroxene you own on the left, and the Gems you have already crafted on the right.
For 1 Pyroxene you use, you can get 1 random Gem. If you want a guaranteed Gem, then you need to wait for a message that states you Saw a Light in the Pyroxene when you load into the Gem Crafting menu. It will then highlight all the Gems on your list that are guaranteed to be created when you use up your Pyroxene. Also, you might get a random chance to craft 3 Gems from 1 Pyroxene, but this option is quite rare to get. Duplicate Gems will be added to your existing Gems to level them up.
All Gem Types In Dynasty Warriors Origins
There are 5 unique Gems to craft, and each of them will give you unique boosts to your skills. Below are all the Gems you can get and the passive skills you can acquire from them.
| Gem | Skill |
| Oblivion Gem | Increases attack range by 10%. |
| Vortex Gem | Increases damage to enemies dealt with air attacks by 10%. |
| Scorch Gem | Increases parry damage by 10%. |
| Wellspring Gem | For every 100 enemies defeated, restores 30 Health. With each Gem upgrade, healing increases by 5 – 6 |
| Ascendance Gem | 30% chance to auto block incoming attacks from enemy Officers. |
For each Gem upgrade you do, you get a 1% increase in each skill’s total ability. So, if you have leveled up any of the above Gems by +1, then you get an added 1% boost to that Gem’s skill on the base amount.
Best Gems In Dynasty Warriors Origins & How To Equip Gems
We recommend that you focus first on getting the Wellspring Gem, the benefit of healing as you KO a certain number of enemies is a big help early on. Ascendance Gem is the next best thing to focus on to block enemy attacks and can be increased each time you upgrade the Gem. All Gems in the game offer some benefit to your character, so you shouldn’t ignore them and rather enhance them whenever you get a chance.
Later in the game, you can focus on improving all the other gems in the list to gain additional benefits. Next, you need to learn how to equip Gems, which is a pretty simple process. Head over to the Equipment tab and select Battle Preparation, then add your preferred Gems into the empty slots to use them.
