Dynasty Warriors Origins How to Raise Proficiency

Farm proficiency by repeatedly using weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. See the best proficiency farm and all the ways to raise proficiency and its effects in this guide!

Best Proficiency Farm

Farm in Subjugation of Yuan Shu

The best place to farm weapon proficiency is in the battle Subjugation of Yuan Shu. Upon breaching the castle, Yuan Shu's Large Force will respawn indefinitely until Yuan Shu is defeated.

The near infinite army allow players to rack up KOs to gain plenty of weapon proficiency, skill points, and possibly rank levels after finishing the mission.

Use Weapons in Combat

Dynasty Warriors Origins Use Weapons in Combat

To raise Proficiency for any weapon quickly, the best way to do so is to use it in combat. While all weapons gain some Proficiency at the end of a mission, the actively equipped weapon type will gain the most.

List of All Weapons and How to Get Them

Enter Skirmishes For Quick Gains

Dynasty Warriors Origins Complete Random Skirmishes

If you want to boost your weapon Proficiency before a major battle, consider taking on Skirmishes. These small-scale battles appear frequently on the World Map and are quick and straightforward, making them an efficient way to earn weapon EXP and gain a Proficiency Point.

Prioritize New Weapons

Prioritize the enhancement of Proficiency on newly acquired weapon types, as they unlock Proficiency Points quicker compared to weapons with higher Proficiency, which relatively require more EXP to upgrade.

In the example above, raising the proficiency of a lower-level Gauntlet is more efficient than a higher-level Sword, as unlocking another Proficiency Point on the Gauntlet requires only 500 EXP compared to the Sword's 7,679 EXP requirement.

Use Arborgreen To Increase Proficiency Gain

Arborgreen is an item that increases proficiency gain by 200% until you defeat 100 enemies. Use this item to get more proficiency as a reward!

Use Post-Game Weapons

Dynasty Warriors Origins - Use Post-Game Weapons

Trait Effect: Guards are repelled, but raises Weapon Proficiency acquisiton by 30%

After completing the game, shops will start selling weapons that increases profiency gain by 30%, but will essentially disable guarding. Use these weapons to quickly gain weapon proficiency in exchange for an artifical increase in difficulty.

Don’t farm proficiency in subjugation of yuan shu, You get mediocre results, Huloa gate is a good one since you fight Lu Bu and can use him as the dummy or use the training option since you gain proficiency in there also don’t use new weapons to level them up quickly. They level up slower than higher level weapons, Also the proficiency goes up when you fight officers with those weapons.
