In the sprawling world of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll encounter a collectible item: Old Coins. Their purpose isn't immediately apparent, but this guide reveals how to obtain and utilize them effectively.
Old Coins remain dormant until you encounter Sima Hui in Chapter 2. Locate his hut in the northern area of the map. Sima Hui provides insights into officer relationships and potential interactions. Crucially, he's your exchange point for Old Coins and valuable items. The exchange rate isn't fixed; you'll need increasing amounts for better rewards:
Gathering Old Coins requires a multi-pronged approach:
Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars scattered across the game world. These pillars only become visible upon close proximity, although using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird enhances their visibility from a distance.
Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to strengthen bonds with officers. Reaching certain relationship milestones unlocks conversations that reward you with Old Coins.
Mission Completion and Regional Peace: Progressing through missions and increasing regional peace levels grants various rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific thresholds.
While accumulating the necessary Old Coins for the best rewards requires dedication, consistent gameplay yields substantial returns.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
