Where to Find Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Now that you know their purpose, let's uncover how to acquire Old Coins. While not difficult to find, amassing a large quantity requires some effort. Here are three primary methods:
Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars scattered across the game world. These pillars only become visible when you're close, but using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird enhances their visibility from a distance.
Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to strengthen your bonds with officers. Once your relationship reaches a certain level, conversations will reward you with Old Coins and further enhance your connection.
Mission Completion and Regional Peace: As you progress through missions and increase the peace levels in different regions of China, you'll receive rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific milestones.
Consistent gameplay steadily rewards you with Old Coins. While accumulating enough for the best rewards takes time, persistence pays off.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
