Where to Find Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Now that you know their value, let's explore how to acquire Old Coins. While not rare, accumulating large quantities requires effort. Three primary methods exist:
Overworld Exploration: Discover glowing pillars scattered across the game world. These only become visible upon close proximity, though the Eyes of the Sacred Bird ability enhances their visibility from a distance.
Officer Relationship Building: Completing requests strengthens bonds with officers. Reaching certain relationship milestones triggers conversations rewarding you with Old Coins and further relationship boosts.
Regional Peace Progression: As you progress through missions and increase regional peace levels, you'll receive rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific thresholds.
Gathering enough Old Coins for the best rewards takes time, but consistent gameplay yields significant returns. This guide covers Old Coin acquisition and utilization in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
