Embarking on your epic journey in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, you'll quickly discover that Gems are essential for gaining an edge in battle. These powerful items can be crafted in-game, but you'll need to follow a few steps to unlock this feature. Once you join Liu Bei’s Volunteer Army in Chapter 1, make your way to an Inn. There, you'll receive a letter from Zhang Fei, introducing you to Gems and a crucial raw material called Pyroxene.

How To Craft Gems in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Pyroxene, the key ingredient for crafting Gems, appears as large, jewel-like formations scattered across the overworld. These spawn randomly, so keep an eye out for them as you traverse the world en route to your next battle. Additionally, you can acquire Pyroxene by completing sidequests, amassing enough Old Coins, and reading letters at the Inn. Before you know it, you'll have a solid stockpile of this valuable resource.

Once you've gathered some Pyroxene, head back to an Inn to start crafting your Gems. The crafting process is randomized; you'll choose a number of Pyroxene pieces, and they'll be transformed into one of several types of Gems. Whether you use one piece or ten, the outcome remains unpredictable. However, if you notice a white glowing aura around a specific Gem type in the crafting menu, you can be sure that only Gems of that type will be crafted during that session.

As you continue to craft specific types of Gems in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, they can level up, enhancing their effects. These upgrades primarily offer buffs, and since you can only equip one Gem at a time initially, choosing the right Gem for your battle strategy is crucial. For instance, the Wellspring Gem, which heals a set amount of health for every 100 enemy soldiers you defeat, is ideal for large-scale battles. Conversely, the Ascendence Gem, which boosts the chance of automatically blocking officer attacks, would be more beneficial in one-on-one confrontations with officers and generals. While the initial benefits may seem modest, over time, these enhancements can significantly impact your success in battle.

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.
