What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the early stages of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you won't be able to utilize Old Coins, so it's best to focus on advancing through the main storyline. Once you reach Chapter 2, you'll unlock the ability to use them after completing the following main story battles:

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

Upon completing these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji and encounter a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and a subsequent task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear in the overworld, adjacent to Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange Old Coins for valuable rewards.

It's important to turn in your Old Coins whenever you pass by, as rewards are awarded based on reaching specific milestones.

With 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, it's not advisable to focus on farming them early on. Instead, you'll naturally unlock more efficient methods to collect them as you progress. Here are the various ways 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 interactions with your companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
• Letters at the Inn: After certain story moments, check the Inn for letters that may contain Old Coins.
• Regional Peace rewards: Collect rewards at Waypoints after achieving regional peace.

While searching for Old Coins in the overworld, remember that their icons are subtle and only visible when you're nearby, unlike the more prominent Pyroxene icons. The rewards for Old Coins vary in usefulness, but by focusing on enjoying the game, you'll naturally accumulate them over time.
