What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Initially, Old Coins won't have a purpose during the first chapter of the game. Therefore, it's best to focus on progressing through the main story. Once you start Chapter 2, you'll unlock the ability to use these coins after completing the following main story battles:

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

After these battles, you'll return to the city of Ji, where you'll meet Sima Hui. Following your conversation and a quest to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear on the overworld map, just next to Ji. Here, you can interact with Sima Hui and use your Old Coins. Besides reviewing your bonds and rewatching previous interactions, you can exchange Old Coins for various rewards.

It's crucial to turn in your Old Coins whenever you pass by the Shui Jing Retreat, as rewards are distributed based on specific milestones.

With 500 Old Coins to collect, it's advisable not to focus on farming them early on, as more efficient methods will become available as you progress. Here are the various ways to obtain Old Coins:

• Exploring the Overworld: Old Coins are hidden throughout the overworld. Their icons are small and only visible when you're close, making them a bit challenging to spot compared to Pyroxene.
• Bond Interactions: Engage in Bond Interactions with your companions and officers to earn Old Coins.
• Letters at the Inn: After certain story moments, check the letters at the Inn for Old Coins.
• Regional Peace Rewards: Collect rewards at Waypoints for maintaining peace in different regions.

While the rewards for Old Coins vary in usefulness, the best approach is to enjoy the game naturally, and you'll find that Old Coins will accumulate without needing to focus solely on them.
