Dynasty Warriors: Origins - What To Do With Old Coins

Quick Links

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

Numerous Old Coins (hundreds in total) are obtainable through various methods. This guide details their uses and acquisition strategies.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Initially, Old Coins are unusable. Focus on the main story until Chapter 2. After completing these main story battles:

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

You'll return to Ji and meet Sima Hui. After obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat (near Ji) becomes accessible. Here, Sima Hui allows Old Coin exchange for rewards. You can also manage bonds and review past interactions.

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

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

  • Overworld discovery.
  • Companion/officer Bond Interactions.
  • Inn letters after story events.
  • Regional Peace Waypoint rewards.

Overworld Old Coin icons are small and only appear upon close proximity, unlike Pyroxene. Focus on gameplay; Old Coins are a natural byproduct.
