Obtaining Old Coins
There are 500 Old Coins to find throughout the game. Don't focus on farming them early; they'll accumulate naturally as you progress. Methods of acquisition include:
- Overworld Exploration: Old Coins are scattered throughout the overworld. Their icon is small and only visible up close.
- Bond Interactions: Interact with companions and officers to receive Old Coins.
- Inn Letters: Check the Inn for letters containing Old Coins after story events.
- Regional Peace Rewards: Collect rewards at Waypoints.
Focus on progressing through the main story and exploring; Old Coins will accumulate organically. Their rewards offer significant benefits, but don't let the pursuit of them detract from enjoying the core gameplay.
