Where to Find Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Now that we know their value, let's explore how to acquire Old Coins. While not rare, accumulating large quantities requires effort. There are three primary methods:
Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars on the overworld map. These only become visible upon close proximity, but using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird enhances visibility from a distance.
Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to strengthen bonds with officers. Once your relationship reaches a certain level, conversations will reward you with Old Coins and further relationship boosts.
Regional Peace Rewards: As you progress through missions and increase regional peace, you'll receive rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific thresholds.
While gathering the necessary coins for the best rewards takes time, consistent gameplay ensures a steady supply.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
