Acquiring Old Coins: Multiple Avenues to Wealth
With 500 Old Coins scattered throughout the game, focusing on farming early is inefficient. Instead, collect them naturally through various methods:
- Overworld Exploration: Old Coins are hidden in the overworld. Their icon is small and only visible up close.
- Bond Interactions: Strengthening bonds with companions and officers can yield Old Coins.
- Inn Letters: Check the Inn for letters containing Old Coins after story events.
- Regional Peace Rewards: Collect rewards at Waypoints after achieving regional peace.
Prioritize gameplay progression; Old Coins will accumulate naturally as you explore and interact with the game world. The rewards are valuable but not crucial for early game progress.
