More importantly, he allows you to exchange Old Coins for powerful items and resources. The number of coins required varies depending on the reward, so here’s a breakdown of what you can obtain:

• 5 Old Coins – 1,000 gold
• 10 Old Coins – Ravenous Spirit Amulet accessory

Where To Find Old Coins In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Once you understand the value of Old Coins, the next logical question is: where can you find them? Fortunately, there are three main ways to collect Old Coins throughout your journey:

1. Overworld Exploration – Old Coins are often hidden across the map as glowing pillars. While they only become visible when you're close, activating the Eyes of the Sacred Bird ability reveals them from a distance, making collection much easier.
2. NPC Relationship Building – As you complete requests and strengthen bonds with other officers, certain milestones will trigger conversations that reward you with Old Coins. This method also helps improve your relationship levels with key characters.
3. Regional Peace Progression – Completing missions and increasing the peace level in various regions of China yields multiple rewards, including occasional Old Coins. The more you clear out enemy forces and stabilize an area, the more likely you are to earn additional coins as you progress.

While gathering a large amount of Old Coins may take time and patience, consistent exploration, mission completion, and relationship building will steadily increase your stash. Over time, you’ll have enough to unlock all of Sima Hui’s best offerings.

So whether you’re looking to boost your stats, enhance your gear, or simply explore every corner of the world, collecting and using Old Coins is an essential part of your journey in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*. Start hunting those coins today and make the most of what this immersive historical action game has to offer.
