Understanding the utility of Old Coins, the next step is to learn how to collect them. While they are not difficult to find, amassing a large number can be a challenge. Here are the primary methods to gather Old Coins:

  • Overworld Exploration: Old Coins manifest as glowing pillars on the map. They become visible only when you are near them, but using the Eyes of the Sacred Bird can help you spot them from a distance, making your search more efficient.
  • Boosting Relationships: By completing requests for NPCs and officers, you can enhance your bond with them. Once your relationship reaches a certain level, engaging in conversation will reward you with Old Coins, further strengthening your ties.
  • Completing Missions: As you work on missions and increase the peace level in various regions of China, you'll be rewarded with items upon reaching specific milestones. Among these rewards, you'll find Old Coins, which accumulate over time as you play.

While collecting a substantial amount of Old Coins might require patience, the rewards you gain from Sima Hui make the effort worthwhile. The more you play, the more you'll be rewarded, enhancing your journey through ancient China.
