'Dynasty Warriors: Origins' Coin Guide for Optimal Use

Quick Links

Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld yields valuable resources for future battles. While Pyroxene farming produces gems, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent.

Several methods exist for acquiring Old Coins, and hundreds are scattered throughout the game. Below, we detail their uses and acquisition methods.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Old Coins are unusable in Chapter 1; focus on the main story. After starting Chapter 2, complete these main story battles:

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

Completing these battles leads you back to Ji, where you'll meet Sima Hui. Following the conversation and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks near Ji. Here, you can exchange Old Coins with Sima Hui. Besides checking bonds and reviewing interactions, you can redeem Old Coins for rewards.

Rewards are tied to specific Old Coin milestones; redeem them whenever possible.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

With 500 Old Coins to find, avoid early farming; more methods unlock gradually. Acquisition methods include:

  • Overworld exploration.
  • Companion and officer Bond Interactions.
  • Inn letters after story events.
  • Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.

Overworld Old Coin icons are small and only appear upon close proximity, unlike Pyroxene. While rewards vary in utility, Old Coins accumulate naturally through gameplay.
