Discover Hidden Gems: Master the Mystery of Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Quick Links

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

Numerous Old Coins (hundreds in total) are scattered throughout the game. Here's how to acquire and utilize them.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Old Coins are unusable in Chapter 1; focus on the main story. After starting Chapter 2, complete these main story battles:

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

Completing these battles leads you back to Ji, where you'll meet Sima Hui. After the conversation and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear near Ji. Here, you can exchange Old Coins with Sima Hui. Besides checking bonds and reviewing interactions, you can redeem them for rewards.

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

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

With 500 Old Coins to find, avoid early farming; more acquisition methods unlock gradually. These include:

  • Overworld exploration.
  • Companion and officer Bond Interactions.

  • Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.

Overworld Old Coins have a small, proximity-triggered icon, unlike Pyroxene. The rewards vary in utility; focus on gameplay, and the coins will accumulate naturally.
