Enhance Your Dynasty Warriors: Origins Gameplay with Gems: A Comprehensive Guide
This guide details gem crafting and acquisition in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, significantly boosting your character's strength. Gems provide passive buffs, proving invaluable in higher difficulty settings.
Gem Crafting and Leveling
Gem creation utilizes Pyroxene and occurs at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room, select "Create Gems" (second option from the top), and use Pyroxene at a 1:1 ratio. Five unique gems are craftable, each with a random chance of appearing per Pyroxene used.
Crafted gems begin at level 1 and equippable via the Battle Preparations menu. Duplicate gems grant experience (XP) to their base gem, increasing its potency with each level. While crafting multiple gems at once offers broad upgrades, crafting individually increases the odds of triggering the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect.
Optimizing Gem Crafting with "Eyes of the Sacred Bird"
The "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect randomly selects three gems, limiting crafting possibilities. This effect is triggered randomly upon crafting a single gem. Cancel this effect by exiting and re-entering the crafting menu. While tedious, crafting one gem at a time increases your chances of obtaining your desired gem via this effect. Note that even with "Eyes of the Sacred Bird," some randomness remains.
Available Gems:
Gem Name | Passive Boost |
---|---|
Oblivion Gem | Expands attack range. |
Vortex Gem | Boosts damage to airborne enemies. |
Scorch Gem | Boosts damage to parried enemies. |
Wellspring Gem | Restores health per 100 defeated enemies. |
Ascendance Gem | Chance to automatically block officer attacks. |
Pyroxene Acquisition
Pyroxene, the crafting material, appears as orange crystals scattered throughout the overworld. Each crystal yields one Pyroxene upon interaction. Pyroxene respawns after skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may also occasionally reward Pyroxene.
This guide provides a complete strategy for leveraging gems to enhance your Dynasty Warriors: Origins experience. Remember, strategic Pyroxene usage and understanding the "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" effect are key to obtaining and maximizing your desired gems.
