Exploring the overworld in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can provide you with several rewards that enhance your gameplay. One such reward is Old Coins, which may seem mysterious at first but become a valuable asset as you progress. Here's a detailed guide on what to use Old Coins for and how to acquire them in the game.
What To Use Old Coins For In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Initially, Old Coins won't have any use during the first chapter of the game. Focus on advancing through the main story until you reach Chapter 2. After completing the following main story battles, you'll unlock the ability to use Old Coins:
- Suppression of You Province
- Suppression of Jing Province
- Suppression of Liang Province
Upon completing these battles, return to the city of Ji where you'll meet Sima Hui. After your conversation and a task to fetch incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat will appear on the overworld map, right next to Ji. At the Shui Jing Retreat, you can interact with Sima Hui to turn in your Old Coins for various rewards.
