Exploring Dynasty Warriors: Origins' overworld offers valuable rewards for future battles. While Pyroxene farming yields gems, you'll also discover Old Coins, whose purpose isn't immediately apparent.
Numerous Old Coins are scattered throughout the game (hundreds in total). Here's how to acquire and utilize them.
Old Coins are unusable in Chapter 1; focus on the main story. After starting Chapter 2, complete these main story battles:
Completing these battles leads you back to Ji, where you'll meet Sima Hui. After conversing with him and obtaining incense for the Innkeeper, the Shui Jing Retreat unlocks in the overworld near Ji. Here, you can exchange Old Coins with Sima Hui. Besides checking bonds and rewatching interactions, you'll receive rewards for reaching Old Coin milestones. Redeem them whenever possible.
