Quick Links
Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld yields valuable resources for future battles. While Pyroxene farming produces 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 story. 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 City, where you'll meet Sima Hui. After the conversation and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks in the overworld near Ji City. Here, you can exchange Old Coins with Sima Hui. You can also manage bonds and review past interactions.
Rewards are tied to specific Old Coin thresholds; 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.
- Companion and officer Bond Interactions.
- Inn letters after story events.
- Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.
The overworld Old Coin icon is small and only visible up close, unlike Pyroxene. The rewards vary in utility; prioritize gameplay, and the coins will accumulate naturally.
