Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Repurposing Old Coins

Venturing through the expansive overworld of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can yield several rewards that enhance your future battles. Among these, you'll come across Old Coins, which might not seem useful at the outset but play a crucial role later in the game. Let's dive into what you can do with these Old Coins and the various ways to acquire them.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Initially, you won't find a use for Old Coins during the first chapter of the game. So, just focus on progressing through the main story. Once you reach Chapter 2, complete the following 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 meet a character named Sima Hui. Following your conversation and a quick errand to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear in the overworld adjacent to the city of Ji. Here, you can engage with Sima Hui and utilize your accumulated Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange Old Coins for a variety of rewards.

These rewards are unlocked by reaching certain milestones with your Old Coins, so make sure to turn them in whenever you pass by the retreat.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

There are 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, but don't rush to farm them early on as more methods to acquire them will unlock as you progress. Here are the various ways to collect Old Coins:

• Exploring the Overworld: Keep an eye out for the small icons representing Old Coins, which only become visible as you approach them.
• Bond Interactions: Engage in conversations with your companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
• Letters at the Inn: After certain story moments, check the Inn for letters that might contain Old Coins.
• Regional Peace Rewards: Collect these rewards at Waypoints after establishing peace in a region.

While searching for Old Coins in the overworld, remember that their icons are tiny and only appear when you're close, unlike the more noticeable Pyroxene. The rewards from Old Coins vary in utility, so focus on enjoying the game, and they will accumulate naturally over time.
