Exploring the vast overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins can lead to a variety of rewards that will bolster your forces for future battles. Among these treasures, you'll encounter Old Coins, which may seem mysterious at first but become invaluable as you progress through the game.
There are several methods to acquire Old Coins, and with hundreds scattered throughout the game, you'll soon amass a substantial collection. Let's delve into what you can use these Old Coins for and how to gather them.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Initially, Old Coins won't serve a purpose during the first chapter of the game, so it's best to focus on advancing the main storyline. Once you reach Chapter 2, you'll unlock the use of Old Coins by completing specific main story battles:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
After triumphing in these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji and encounter a character named Sima Hui. Following your conversation and a brief errand to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will become accessible in the overworld, just adjacent to Ji. At the retreat, you can engage with Sima Hui and utilize your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange Old Coins for various rewards.
These rewards are tied to specific milestones of Old Coins turned in, so make sure to exchange them whenever you visit.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With 500 Old Coins to collect in the game, it's advisable not to focus on farming them too early. As you progress, you'll unlock more efficient ways to gather them. Here are the various methods to obtain Old Coins:
- Exploring the Overworld: Keep an eye out for the small icons representing Old Coins, which only become visible as you approach them, unlike the more noticeable Pyroxene.
