Gems Enhance Combat in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
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 Up
Gem crafting utilizes Pyroxene and is accessible at any Inn or tent. Navigate to your room and select "Create Gems" (the second option). You can use Pyroxene to craft gems at a 1:1 ratio. Five distinct gems are craftable, with each Pyroxene yielding a random gem.
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. While random crafting is efficient for overall gem improvement, targeted crafting is possible.
Targeted Gem Crafting: Utilizing "Eyes of the Sacred Bird"
Crafting a single gem at a time has a chance to trigger "Eyes of the Sacred Bird," limiting the random gem selection to three specific gems for subsequent Pyroxene use. This effect can be reset by exiting and re-entering the gem crafting menu. While tedious, this method increases the probability of obtaining desired gems. Note that "Eyes of the Sacred Bird" reduces randomness but doesn't eliminate it entirely.
Available Gems:
| 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 Acquisition
Pyroxene crystals (orange) randomly appear throughout the overworld. Collecting a crystal yields one Pyroxene. Pyroxene respawns after completing skirmishes or battles, encouraging exploration of previously visited areas. Letters read in your Inn or tent room may occasionally reward Pyroxene.
This comprehensive guide empowers you to strategically utilize gems, maximizing your character's potential in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
