Exploring the expansive overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins can be rewarding in several ways, setting you up for success in future battles. While you're busy farming Pyroxene to craft gems, you'll also stumble upon Old Coins. Initially, their purpose might not be clear, but they become crucial as you progress.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

You won't need Old Coins right away, so during the first chapter, focus on advancing the main storyline. Once you start Chapter 2, complete the following main story battles:

• Suppression of You Province
• Suppression of Jing Province
• Suppression of Liang Province

Upon completing these battles, you'll head back to the city of Ji and encounter a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and fetching incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear on the overworld map right next to Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting old interactions, you can exchange Old Coins for valuable rewards.

Rewards are awarded based on reaching specific milestones with your Old Coins, so make sure to turn them in whenever you pass by the retreat.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

With a total of 500 Old Coins to collect in the game, it's not advisable to focus on farming them early on. Instead, you'll unlock more efficient methods as you progress. Here are the various ways to acquire Old Coins:

• Finding them scattered across the overworld.
• Receiving them through Bond Interactions with your companions and officers.
• Collecting them from letters at the Inn following story moments.
• Earning them as Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.

When searching for Old Coins in the overworld, keep an eye out for their small icon, which only becomes visible when you're close by, unlike the more noticeable Pyroxene. The rewards you can get from Old Coins vary in usefulness, but by focusing on playing the game naturally, you'll accumulate them over time.
