Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld yields valuable rewards for future battles. While Pyroxene farming creates gems, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent. Hundreds of Old Coins are scattered throughout the game, obtainable in several ways. Here's how to use them and where to find them.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Initially, Old Coins are useless. Focus on the main story until Chapter 2. After completing the "Suppression of You Province," "Suppression of Jing Province," and "Suppression of Liang Province" battles, return to Ji. You'll meet Sima Hui. After obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks near Ji. Here, you can exchange Old Coins for rewards with Sima Hui. You can also check bonds and rewatch interactions. Rewards are tied to specific Old Coin milestones; exchange them whenever possible.
How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With 500 Old Coins to find, avoid early farming. More methods unlock naturally. Obtain them by:
- Exploring the overworld (the icon is small and appears only up close, unlike Pyroxene).
- Completing Bond Interactions with companions and officers.
- Receiving them in Inn letters after story events.
- Claiming Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.
Old Coin rewards vary in usefulness. Focus on gameplay; they'll accumulate naturally.
