Collect Coins, Unlock Characters in Dynasty Warriors Origins
Quick Links
Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld offers various rewards beneficial for future battles. While Pyroxene farming yields gems, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent.
Several methods exist for acquiring Old Coins, and you'll accumulate a substantial number (hundreds) throughout the game. Here's their use and acquisition methods.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Old Coins are unusable in the game's first chapter; focus on the main story. After 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 meet Sima Hui. Following the conversation and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks near Ji. 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 milestones; redeem them whenever possible.

With 500 Old Coins to find, avoid early farming; more methods unlock gradually. Acquisition methods include:
- Overworld discovery.

Overworld Old Coin icons are small and only appear upon proximity, unlike Pyroxene. While rewards vary in utility, Old Coins are naturally acquired through gameplay.
