How to Use Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

As you progress through Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll gather Old Coins. However, their function remains hidden until you meet Sima Hui in Chapter 2.

Where to Find Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Now that we understand their use, let's explore how to acquire Old Coins. While not rare, accumulating large quantities requires effort. Three primary methods exist:

1. Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars on the overworld map. These only become visible upon close approach, but using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird enhances visibility from a distance.

2. Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to strengthen bonds with officers. Reaching certain relationship levels unlocks conversations rewarding you with Old Coins.

3. Mission Completion and Regional Peace: As you progress through missions and increase regional peace levels, you'll receive rewards, including Old Coins, at specific thresholds.

Gathering the necessary coins for the best rewards takes time, but consistent gameplay yields substantial returns.
