How To Use Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Throughout your journey in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll gather Old Coins. These coins won't have a clear use until you reach Chapter 2, where a hut appears in the northern part of the map.

Where To Find Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Acquiring Old Coins isn't difficult, but collecting a significant amount can be time-consuming. Here are the three primary methods to gather them:
Overworld Exploration: Old Coins appear as glowing pillars that become visible as you approach. To spot them from a distance, use the Eyes of the Sacred Bird, which can reveal their locations.
Boosting Relationships: Completing requests for NPCs can strengthen your bond with officers. Once your relationship reaches a certain level, engaging in conversations with these officers can earn you Old Coins and further enhance your bond.
Completing Missions and Raising Peace: As you complete missions and increase the peace level in different regions of China, you'll receive rewards upon reaching certain milestones. Some of these rewards will include Old Coins.
While accumulating the necessary number of coins for the best rewards may take time, the more you play, the more you'll be rewarded.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
