Now that we understand their use, let's explore how to obtain Old Coins. While not difficult to find individually, amassing large quantities requires effort. Three primary methods exist:

  2. Officer Relationship Building: Complete requests to strengthen bonds with officers. Reaching certain relationship levels unlocks conversations rewarding you with Old Coins and further relationship boosts.

  3. Regional Peace Rewards: As you complete missions and increase the peace level in each region of China, you’ll receive various rewards, including Old Coins, upon reaching specific thresholds.

While accumulating sufficient coins for the best rewards takes time, consistent gameplay yields significant returns. This guide provides a complete overview of Old Coin acquisition and usage in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
