Now that we understand their use, let's explore how to obtain Old Coins. While not difficult to find, accumulating large quantities requires some effort. There are three primary methods:

  1. Overworld Exploration: Look for glowing pillars scattered throughout the overworld. These only become visible upon close proximity, but utilizing the Eyes of the Sacred Bird will reveal them from a distance.

  2. Officer Relationship Building: Completing requests strengthens your bonds with officers. Once a certain relationship threshold is reached, conversations will yield Old Coins as a reward, further enhancing your connection.

  3. Mission Completion & Regional Peace: Successfully completing missions and raising the peace level in each region of China grants rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific milestones.

While accumulating the necessary coins for the best rewards takes time and dedication, consistent gameplay ensures a steady influx of Old Coins.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
