How to Make Money (Leaves) Fast in Octopath Traveler 0

There's a lot that goes into your team's survival in Octopath Traveler 0. For instance, you need to make sure they are well-equipped in both the front and back rows, and you also need to make sure you have plenty of healing items to keep everyone alive.

As you would expect, making sure everyone has the items they need to put up a good fight in combat doesn't come cheap. It is for this reason that you need to ensure you always have a sufficient supply of cash or Leaves on you at all times.

Let's break down the best ways to earn money or Leaves in Octopath Traveler 0 to cover all your needs.

Use Path Actions to Your Advantage

One of the major features of Octopath Traveler 0 is your ability to interact with NPCs and perform various actions. This is all done through the reputation system, but it allows you to snag some good items for use in combat and to sell.

When interacting with an NPC, you will typically either see the option to perform the Path Action Entreat or Purchase. Entreat allows you to obtain items for free from NPCs, while Purchase allows you to buy items from NPCs.

Both of these actions can net you some major cash, as some of the items you can get through the Entreat Path Action can be sold for a high price. You can also haggle to purchase items you can later resell for more money.

You will want to specifically look for items that have a description that states they can be sold for a fair, modest, or better price, as these will get you more if you can get them for free or haggle with the NPC.

Speaking of selling items, you will be getting a lot of items from chests that range from simple weapons and armor to healing items and more. Whatever you don't need, you should take the nearby shop.

It seems as though all the shops will give you the same price for items, so the shop you go to doesn't matter, but you should get rid of all the extra items you have, burning a hole in your backpack, unless you plan on using them.

Not only will this lighten your load, making it easier to find items in your backpack, but it will also get you a lot of extra money.

Merchants, Abilities, and Travelers

One of the biggest parts of Octopath Traveler 0 is that you will be rebuilding the town of Wishvale. As part of this noble quest, you will be recruiting the various NPCs of the surrounding towns to come live in Wishvale.

When recruiting NPCs, keep an eye out for ones that give you bonuses like extra money, discounts at the shop, or additional items. The extra money will come in and typically give you a nice bonus of a few thousand Leaves.

The discounts will help you save the money you do get, and abilities that get you additional items can be useful to get items to sell.

In addition to recruiting townsfolk to live in Wishvale, you will be recruiting other adventurers to join your team. One of the class types is the Merchant, and they are useful for the passive ability that allows them to collect extra money from battles.

There are also additional abilities in the game that can earn you even more money from defeating enemies. Some abilities also let you steal extra money from enemies during battle.

Caits and Octopuffs

There are two types of rare monsters you can find in Octopath Traveler 0: Caits and Octopuffs. They have multiple variants depending on where you are in the game, but you should always fight them.

Defeating a Cait or Octopuff will grant you bonus experience as well as a good amount of extra money. There are a handful of ways you can increase the spawn chance of rare enemies, and I suggest doing it so you can get more money from battles.
