EXP Farming Guide: How to Level Up Fast

Octopath Traveler 0 - EXP Farming Guide

Level up fast by farming EXP from Caits and Octopuffs in Octopath Traveler 0 (Octopath 0). Read on to learn how to level up fast, all different ways to farm EXP, and the best places to EXP farm!

How to Farm EXP

EXP Farming Guide



Defeat Caits and Octopuffs

Cait

Caits are some of the best early-game EXP sources because they drop large amounts of EXP and Leaves. They appear in dungeons, castles, and routes between towns, though their spawn rate is relatively low.

Octopuffs on the other hand, become available once you obtain the ship, and they can only be found in the sea regions of Orsterra. These enemies offer solid EXP and JP and are only fought while traveling via the ship.

Eat Foods With EXP Buff

Food Buff Effect
Grape Juice Increases EXP gained by 25% for 20 turns.
Apple Pie Increases EXP gained by 50% for 20 turns
Fruit Tray Increases both JP and EXP gained by 50% for 20 turns.

Foods with EXP boosts can dramatically speed up grinding, especially when used before a long farming session.

Use EXP Increasing Skills

Blue Cait Statue

If you linked a save file from Octopath Traveler 2, you’ll receive the Blue Cait Statue. Placing it in Wishvale increases the EXP and Leaves gained by your party, but do note that similar statues do not stack, so only one bonus applies at a time.

Locations With High Danger Levels

Danger Level

High-danger areas generally feature enemies with higher EXP and JP rewards.

These areas are best tackled once your party has reached a comfortable power level, as the higher the danger level, the stronger the enemies are.
