"Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Repurposing Old Coins"

Exploring the vast overworld of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can yield valuable resources to strengthen your warriors for future battles. While Pyroxene is essential for crafting gems, you’ll also come across Old Coins—items that may seem useless at first glance but become increasingly important as the game progresses.

Old Coins are plentiful, with a total of 500 scattered throughout the game world. However, their utility isn’t immediately apparent, especially during the early chapters. Here’s a breakdown of what you can do with Old Coins and how to collect them efficiently as you journey through the land of ancient China.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

You won't be able to use Old Coins until after completing the first major story arc in Chapter 1. Once you begin Chapter 2, focus on completing these key battles:

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

After completing these missions, return to Ji city where you'll meet Sima Hui. Following a brief conversation and completing a short errand for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear on the map just outside Ji. This is where you can exchange your Old Coins for various in-game rewards.

In addition to redeeming coins, you can also review past interactions and strengthen bonds with your companions at this location. It's a good idea to turn in your Old Coins regularly, as they accumulate fast and provide useful benefits when you hit specific milestones.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

With a total of 500 Old Coins available in the game, it's best not to focus too much on farming them early on. As you progress through the main story and unlock more gameplay systems, collecting Old Coins becomes easier and more natural. Here are the primary ways to obtain Old Coins:

• Overworld Exploration: Scattered throughout the open world, Old Coins are marked by small icons that only appear when you're close. Unlike Pyroxene, which has more visible markers, Old Coins require closer inspection.
• Bond Interactions: Completing bond events with your companions and officers often rewards you with Old Coins. These moments are story-driven and offer both narrative depth and tangible rewards.
• Inn Letters: After major story developments, check the letters available at the Inn—you may find Old Coins included as part of post-event rewards.
• Regional Peace Rewards: As you clear enemy forces from regions and secure Waypoints, you can collect additional Old Coins as part of your Regional Peace achievements.

While Old Coins aren’t critical in the beginning, they become increasingly valuable later in the game. Focus on progressing the story and engaging with companions, and you’ll naturally gather enough Old Coins to make use of the rewarding redemption system.
