Uncovering the Secrets of Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the sprawling world of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll encounter a valuable collectible: Old Coins. Their purpose isn't immediately apparent, but this guide will detail how to obtain and utilize these enigmatic items.

Unlocking Sima Hui's Treasures

While Old Coins initially seem useless, their value is revealed upon meeting Sima Hui in Chapter 2. Locate his hut in the northern part of the map. Sima Hui provides insights into officer relationships and potential interactions. Crucially, he's your gateway to exchanging Old Coins for valuable rewards. The exchange rate is tiered, offering increasingly better items as you accumulate more coins:

• 5 Old Coins: 1,000 gold
• 10 Old Coins: Ravenous Spirit Amulet accessory
• 20 Old Coins: 10 Pyroxene
• 40 Old Coins: 10,000 gold
• 70 Old Coins: 20 Pyroxene
• 100 Old Coins: Amulet of Fortune accessory
• 140 Old Coins: 30,000 gold
• 180 Old Coins: Amulet of Merit accessory
• 230 Old Coins: 50 Pyroxene
• 280 Old Coins: Amulet of Means accessory
• 350 Old Coins: 100 Pyroxene
• 400 Old Coins: Musou Bond accessory
• 450 Old Coins: Panacea item
• 500 Old Coins: War God’s Sash accessory

Gathering Your Fortune: Finding Old Coins

Now that we understand their use, let's explore how to acquire Old Coins. While not rare, accumulating large quantities requires effort. Three primary methods exist:

1. Overworld Exploration: Seek out glowing pillars scattered across the game world. These become visible only upon close proximity, though the Eyes of the Sacred Bird ability enhances their visibility from a distance.

2. Officer Relationships: Cultivate bonds with NPCs by completing requests. Stronger relationships often yield Old Coins as rewards, further strengthening your alliances.

3. Mission Completion & Regional Peace: Progressing through missions and increasing regional peace unlocks various rewards, including Old Coins, at specific milestones.

Consistent gameplay will steadily increase your Old Coin collection, unlocking the best rewards Sima Hui offers.
