Exploring the vast overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins offers several rewarding experiences that can enhance your gameplay in future battles. While you'll often come across Pyroxene, which is essential for crafting gems, you'll also stumble upon Old Coins. Initially, their purpose might not be clear, but they become valuable later in the game.

There are multiple ways to collect Old Coins, and with hundreds available throughout the game, you'll soon amass a good number. Let's delve into what you can use these Old Coins for and the various methods to obtain them.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the early stages of the game, specifically during the first chapter, Old Coins won't have a direct use. At this point, it's best to focus on progressing through the main story. Once you reach Chapter 2, you'll need to complete the following main story battles:

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

After successfully completing these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji where you'll meet a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation with him and a subsequent task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear on the overworld map, conveniently located next to the city of Ji. Here, you'll have the opportunity to interact with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting old interactions, you can turn in your Old Coins to receive various rewards.

It's important to turn in your Old Coins whenever you pass by Shui Jing Retreat, as rewards are given based on specific milestones.

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

• Finding them in the overworld: Keep an eye out for the small icon representing Old Coins, which only appears when you're close.
• Bond Interactions: Engage in Bond Interactions with your companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
• Letters in the Inn: After key story moments, check the Inn for letters that may contain Old Coins.
• Regional Peace rewards: Collect these rewards at Waypoints after achieving peace in regions.

When exploring the overworld for Old Coins, remember that their icons are subtle and only visible when you're nearby, unlike the more prominent Pyroxene icons. The rewards from Old Coins vary in utility, so while you should prioritize enjoying the game, these coins will accumulate naturally as you play.
