Optimal Farming Method for Pyroxene in DWO
The Ji Province stands out as the premier location for farming Pyroxene. During Chapter 1, utilize the route from Liyang Port to Cangting Port to respawn Pyroxene effectively (changing provinces triggers a respawn). In Chapter 2, you can start collecting Pyroxene from You Province as well. From Chapter 3 onwards, your potential yield increases to 4 Pyroxene every 10-15 seconds, available from Ji, You, and Qing provinces.
Alternative Methods to Obtain Pyroxene
Beyond the world map spawns, there are several other avenues to acquire Pyroxene in Dynasty Warriors Origins. You can earn it by enhancing the Peace level of your provinces (+5 Pyroxene for each level), through rewards from letters, the collection of Old Coins, participation in skirmishes (non-story battles), and by completing certain missions.
Utilizing Pyroxene for Gem Crafting in DWO
To utilize Pyroxene, visit an Inn located in any town or camp. After selecting Create Gems, choose the desired amount of Pyroxene you wish to consume, then click on the Pyroxene section to craft the gems. You can potentially receive one of five different gems, with the selection being random. If you obtain a duplicate gem, its tier will be increased. The following table details each gem and its corresponding effects:
| Gem | Effect |
|---|---|
| Oblivion Gem | Enhances attack range by X%. |
| Vortex Gem | Amplifies damage against airborne enemies by X%. |
| Scorch Gem | Increases damage to enemies during parries by X%. |
| Wellspring Gem | Restores X Health for each 100 defeated enemies. |
| Ascendance Gem | Grants an X% chance to block attacks from enemy officers automatically. |
Which Gem is Most Effective?
In general, the Oblivion Gem is often considered the most advantageous gem in Dynasty Warriors Origins due to its ability to extend attack range, which is particularly beneficial for short-range weapons like Gauntlets. However, as you progress into the late-game, the Ascendance Gem starts to gain increasing significance, and the Wellspring Gem can be essential when tackling challenges on Hero difficulty.
