Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld offers various rewards to aid your battles. While Pyroxene farming yields gems, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent. Hundreds of Old Coins are scattered throughout the game, obtainable through several methods. This guide details their uses and acquisition strategies.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Initially, Old Coins are unusable. 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. Following the subsequent conversation and acquiring incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks near Ji. Here, Sima Hui allows you to exchange Old Coins for rewards. You can also review bonds and past 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 acquisition methods unlock gradually. These methods include:
- Overworld exploration (the icon is small and only appears up close).
- Companion and officer Bond Interactions.
- Post-story event letters found at the Inn.
- Regional Peace rewards from Waypoints.
While Old Coin rewards vary in usefulness, they're naturally acquired through regular gameplay.
