Toukiden Quest [Sea of Junk 3]: Finding tainted coins

Here we go again, yet another one of these damn ‘Sea of Junk‘ quests. Guess what? It’s not the last one you’ll encounter either, I’m still doing more of these things and you will be too. Oh well.

This time we’re taking a look at the Sea of Junk (3) quest, which has you gathering two tainted coins. You’ll likely need to play a mission several times before you can gather them and turn in the quest.

Generally, you can use the collection records option – visible from the Start menu – to find which age items can be collected in (you have to be in the guild hall to see it). The problem is, if you’ve never scavenged the item before the records menu is useless. Worse yet, your Tenko will not be able to collect items on a scavenger run that you haven’t previously found in the world. In other words, you need to actually pick up a tainted coin before you can take advantage of those perks.

Once you pick up a single tainted coin during a mission your Tenko should then be able to find them in the correct age.

The tainted coins can be found in the Age of Peace. There are a lot of different missions that take place in the Age of Peace, but the first time you’ll encounter it in single player is chapter 3. I recommend playing the Chimera of the Night mission which has you slaying Howlers. You can play either the single player version of the mission or you can play online – in single or multiplayer.

That being said, any mission that takes place in the Age of Peace will do. Tainted coins are a level 7 material so they may prove difficult to find.
