Exploring the overworld in Dynasty Warriors: Origins can be quite rewarding, offering you various resources that will enhance your gameplay in future battles. While you'll often come across Pyroxene, which is useful for crafting gems, you'll also stumble upon Old Coins. Initially, their purpose might not be clear, but they become crucial as you progress through the game.

There are multiple ways to acquire Old Coins, and with hundreds available, you'll soon amass a good collection. Let's delve into what you can use Old Coins for and the various methods to obtain them.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the early stages of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you won't be able to utilize Old Coins, so it's best to focus on advancing through the main storyline during the first chapter. Once you reach Chapter 2, you'll need to complete the following main story battles:

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

After successfully completing these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji and encounter a character named Sima Hui. After your conversation and a subsequent task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will become accessible in the overworld, right next to Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and use your Old Coins. Besides checking your bonds and revisiting past interactions, you can exchange Old Coins for valuable rewards.

Rewards are awarded based on reaching specific milestones with your Old Coins, so make sure to turn them in whenever you pass by.

With a total of 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:

• Finding them in the overworld: Keep an eye out for the small icon representing Old Coins, which only appears when you're close.
• Bond Interactions: Engage in interactions with your companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
• Letters at the Inn: After certain story moments, check the Inn for letters that may contain Old Coins.
• Regional Peace rewards: Collect these rewards at Waypoints.

When searching for Old Coins in the overworld, remember that their icon is quite small and only visible when you're nearby, unlike the more noticeable Pyroxene. The rewards you can get from Old Coins vary in usefulness, but by focusing on enjoying the game, you'll naturally accumulate them over time.
