How to Get Old Coins in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
With 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, early farming isn't efficient. Methods include:
- Overworld Exploration: Look for small, hard-to-spot icons. They only appear upon close proximity, unlike Pyroxene.
- Bond Interactions: Engage with companions and officers.
- Inn Letters: Check the Inn after story events.
- Regional Peace Rewards: Collect at Waypoints.
Focus on gameplay; Old Coins will accumulate naturally. The rewards vary in utility, so prioritize gameplay progression.
