In the vibrant world of Orsterra, Leaves are the lifeblood that fuels your adventures in Octopath Traveler 0. Whether you’re upgrading your gear in Grandport or securing better services from the local tavern, knowing how to accumulate Leaves quickly can make your journey smoother. Thankfully, there are several effective strategies to bolster your earnings in this captivating JRPG.
As a seasoned player, I’ve discovered some surefire ways to pad your wallet. Here’s a handy guide on how to stack up on Leaves and make the most of your time in Orsterra.
1. Use Merchants in Your Battles
Your companions, particularly the Merchants like Ludo and Tressa, are invaluable for maximizing your Leaves. Tressa’s Collect skill allows her to swipe Leaves from enemies, while her Extra Leaves skill boosts the total amount you earn post-battle. On the other hand, Ludo’s Negotiation skill provides extra experience and Leaves but can’t be stacked with Tressa’s abilities.
In my own playthrough, Tressa often turned foes into mini treasure troves. With the right enemy, I’ve pulled in thousands of Leaves from a single encounter! Always remember to use her skills—each encounter is a new opportunity for wealth.
Don’t overlook Thieves like Therion and Heidne either; while they won’t directly steal Leaves, their Steal Mastery can snatch valuable items from foes that can be sold later at shops.
2. Engage NPCs for Valuable Items
Another effective way to boost your finances is by utilizing the Path Actions such as Entreat and Contend on NPCs. These actions allow you to acquire high-priced items with significant sale value. Always chat with anyone you encounter and check their inventory—you might find hidden treasures!
Some items will indicate they fetch a “high” price. These are your golden tickets! Though you can consider purchasing items to resell, it’s often easier to just snag them from NPCs for free.
3. Sell Items at Ludo’s Shop
When you’re selling items, be sure to use Ludo’s shop at Wishvale. His Resident Skill, Savvy Seller, boosts your selling price by 10%. This might feel inconvenient, as you’ll find yourself making frequent trips back to town, but it’s worth every step to maximize your profit.
4. Invite Residents with Leaf Gift Effects
Some residents provide a Leaf Gift effect, which means they generate a modest amount of Leaves regularly. You might not see a huge sum at once, but stacking residents who offer this effect can lead to a steady income over time. Here’s a quick list of potential NPCs to recruit:
- Heidne – Complete her side quest for recruitment.
- Goodwin – Found on Shipwreck Island.
- Responsible Syndicate Member – Located at the Valore bar.
- Brigand Boss – Encountered in Cragspear.
You’ll also encounter characters in later parts of the game with even better effects like Leaf Supply and Patron, which can provide larger Leaf amounts.
5. Don’t Forget to Sell Old Equipment
This might be a common tip, but it’s easy to forget about old weapons and armor you no longer use. As your inventory fills up, it can be difficult to see what’s worth selling. Make it a habit to clear out obsolete gear regularly; you might be surprised by how much money you can accumulate just from cleaning house.
In summary, while Leaves may be a crucial currency in Octopath Traveler 0, there are effective ways to increase your wealth. Engage in battles actively, use your companions’ skills wisely, and don’t underestimate the power of talking to NPCs. The journey through Orsterra is enriching, both in experience and in Leaves!
