Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins Given New Uses

Quick Links

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

Numerous Old Coins (hundreds in total) are obtainable through various methods. This guide details their uses and acquisition strategies.

What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Old Coins are unusable in Chapter 1; focus on the main storyline. 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 meet Sima Hui. After conversing with him and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks on the overworld map near Ji. Here, you can exchange Old Coins for rewards with Sima Hui. You can also manage bonds and review past interactions.

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 scattered throughout the game, early farming isn't efficient. More methods unlock gradually. These include:

  • Overworld exploration.
  • Bond interactions with companions and officers.
  • Inn letters after story events.
  • Regional Peace rewards from 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.
