Dynasty Warriors: Origins: Unearthing & Using Ancient Coins

Embarking on your adventure through ancient China in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll encounter a collectible known as Old Coins. Their purpose might not be immediately apparent, but this guide reveals everything you need to know about acquiring and utilizing them.

How to Use Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

As you progress through Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll accumulate Old Coins. However, their function remains hidden until you encounter Sima Hui in Chapter 2. A hut will appear in the northern part of the map, marking Sima Hui's location. He provides insights into your officer relationships and reveals potential interactions. More importantly, he's your Old Coin exchange specialist! Trade your coins for valuable items, but be aware of the tiered exchange system:

Where to Find Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Now that we understand their value, let's explore how to obtain Old Coins. While not excessively rare, accumulating large quantities requires effort. Three primary methods exist:

1. Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars scattered across the overworld map. These only become visible upon close proximity, but using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird enhances their visibility from a distance.

2. Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to strengthen bonds with officers. Reaching certain relationship milestones unlocks conversations that reward you with Old Coins and further relationship boosts.

3. Regional Peace Rewards: As you complete missions and increase regional peace levels in China, you'll receive rewards upon reaching specific thresholds; Old Coins are among these rewards.

While amassing sufficient coins for the best rewards takes time, consistent gameplay yields increasingly valuable returns. Enjoy your journey through ancient China!
