Quick Links
Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld yields valuable resources for future battles. While Pyroxene is crucial for gem crafting, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent.
Numerous Old Coins are scattered throughout the game (hundreds in total). This guide details their uses and acquisition methods.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Old Coins are unusable in Chapter 1; focus on the main storyline. 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, where you'll encounter Sima Hui. After the conversation and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear near Ji. Here, you can exchange Old Coins with Sima Hui. Besides checking bonds and rewatching interactions, you can redeem coins for rewards.
Rewards are tied to specific Old Coin milestones; redeem them whenever possible.

How To Get Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With 500 Old Coins available, avoid early farming; more efficient methods unlock later. Acquisition methods include:
- Overworld exploration.
- Companion and officer Bond Interactions.
- Inn letters after story events.
- Regional Peace rewards at Waypoints.
Overworld Old Coins are indicated by small, proximity-triggered icons, unlike Pyroxene. While the rewards vary in utility, Old Coins accumulate naturally during gameplay.
