[Octopath Travelers 0]Reach level 99 fastest! Perfect lap manual to maximize experience value efficiency
In Octopath Travelers 0, commonly known as Octora 0, reaching level 99 is an essential element to challenge the end content bosses and clear high-difficulty quests. This game requires a huge amount of experience points that cannot be achieved by simply progressing through the story, and the walls after level 90 are particularly difficult for players. However, if you know the right method, it is possible to reach level 99 with all characters in a few hours. This guide provides a thorough explanation of the most efficient loop routes that have been actually verified. We will provide step-by-step explanations that anyone can reproduce, focusing on multiplying the experience point gain multiplier, optimizing the encounter rate, and maximizing the battle turnover rate. If you practice this, you should be able to reach level 99 in just 2-4 hours after starting at level 90. Don't repeat unnecessary laps and make sure to reach the fastest speed.

Understand the overall picture of reaching level 99 and the required experience points
Raising Octra 0's level is dramatically more efficient by hunting rare monsters frequently, rather than just by going around small enemies. The key is the Catlin-type rare monster that rarely appears in the field around the last stage. Each of these enemies drops over 50,000 experience points, 1,800 JP, and 150,000 gold leaves, making them known as high-reward enemies in the series. Holy Catlin in particular has a high escape rate, but if you can kill it with a pre-emptive attack, it can become an overwhelming source of experience points.
First, let's understand the overall picture of reaching level 99. The game's experience table grows exponentially, with the total experience requirements from level 1 to 99 being around over a billion, but the real bottleneck is after level 90. The required experience points from level 90 to 91 are approximately 5 million, and from 91 to 92 it is 6 million, gradually increasing, and from level 98 to 99 it takes nearly 10 million. Even if you get 5,000 experience points per battle by going around the enemy normally, it would take several hundred battles per level, which is extremely inefficient. On the other hand, if you defeat one Holy Catlin per minute, you can earn more than 100,000 experience points per minute including the multiplier, and you can clear 9 levels from level 90 to 99 within 3 hours.
The principle to break through this wall is to maximize the “turnover rate x acquisition magnification''. The turnover rate is the number of battles per minute, and the acquisition rate is the product of the experience point increase effect. By increasing the multiplier to more than 3x with the equipment and organization described below, and ending the battle within one turn, the theoretical efficiency will reach more than 20 times the normal efficiency. If you are a beginner, please advance the story to the final chapter, collect the required characters, and then start the full game. If you reach around level 70 by naturally leveling up after the middle of the story, subsequent tasks will become much easier.
Details of experience point requirements and efficiency calculation after level 90
We will specifically list the required amount of experience points after level 90. By understanding this, you can realize numerically why Catlin laps are the strongest.
- Level 90 → 91: Approximately 5.2 million experience points are required.
- Level 91 → 92: Approximately 5.8 million experience points are required.
- Level 92 → 93: Approximately 6.5 million experience points are required.
- Level 93 → 94: Approximately 7.3 million experience points are required.
- Level 94 → 95: Approximately 8.2 million experience points are required.
- Level 95 → 96: Approximately 9.2 million experience points are required.
- Level 96 → 97: Approximately 10.3 million experience points are required.
- Level 97 → 98: Approximately 11.6 million experience points are required.
- Level 98 → 99: Approximately 13.1 million experience points are required.
The total is about 82 million experience points. If you calculate it with a normal lap (3,000 experience points per battle, 2 battles of 1 minute), it will take about 38 hours, but an optimal lap (50,000 experience points per battle x 3 multiplier = 150,000, 1.5 battles per minute) will take about 2.3 hours. This difference is obvious.
Efficiency calculation formula: Total efficiency = (1 enemy's experience points x multiplier) x (number of battles per minute). Holy Catlin: 50,000 × (1.5 Apple Pie + 0.5 Brooch + 0.3 Gold Statue + 0.25 Secret + 1.2 Business Negotiation) = approximately 150,000. It can be adjusted assuming an encounter rate of 10%. In actual testing, it is possible to hunt 50 bodies in one hour.
Absolutely essential character composition and their detailed roles
The basis of the fastest lap is the composition of specific characters. Include at least the following two people in your party.
- Bargello: Will join in Valore after clearing Chapter 2 of “The One Who Gives Everything”. The key ability “Vanguard” (Support Skill: At the start of battle, only the wearer acts first) will 100% prevent Catlin from immediately escaping. Combined with +50 increase in speed and +50 increase in criticality, it will surely convert your first move into a preemptive action. Without Bargello, it would be impossible to run around because of the immediate escape.
- Ludo: For merchant characters, the “Business Negotiation” ability increases experience points, JP, and leaves by 1.2 times. Ideal for boss-class rare enemies and essential for hunting Catlin. Formation example: Bargello (vanguard) → Main character (Spear of criticality) → Ludo (Business negotiation) → Sub (BP supply).
Recommended addition: Change the main character's job to a spear user and use the “Critical Spear” to ensure instant death. Having an SP passer (Steer or Macy) prevents SP depletion. Start with everyone at level 90 or higher and maximize your relationship values to get stat bonuses. If the membership conditions are not met, the story will be given priority.
Complete list of equipment and support abilities that dramatically increase experience points and encounter rates
The combination of equipment and abilities is the key to magnification. Prioritize those that are applicable to everyone.
- Happiness brooch: Experience points/JP +50%. It is possible to beg/steal from the Atlas dam “Princess Mary”. It cannot be duplicated, and equipping everyone will strengthen the entire party.
- Lucky Coin: Greatly increases rare monster encounter rate. It can be obtained from the blue treasure chest.
- Ribbon of Attraction: Increases encounter rate. Required to improve turnover rate.
- The secret to increasing rare monster encounter rate: + Encounter rate. Can be obtained from Cragspear “Retired Soldier Captain”.
- The secret to increasing experience points: +25%. Can be duplicated.
- Gold Catlin Statue: +30%. Town levels 3-4 are released, and everyone is eligible.
Support ability: BP trading / BP plus: Increases turnover rate with maximum starting BP. Breaking the damage limit: Secure firepower.
This gives a total magnification of over 3.5x. Obtaining route: Use wish veil trading and begging.
The best place for the fastest lap and all the preparation steps
Place of lap: Last stage field (both entrances are possible). Although it is highly dangerous, it is invincible in formation. Alternative: West Valore Morimichi (for early stages, Catlin EXP 1,000).
Advance preparation:
- Town build will unlock the gold Catlin statue and blue Octolin statue (JP +10%).
- Consumes all apple pies (1.5x experience points, obtains cooking).
- All equipped, relationship value maxed.
- Check auto save points.
Once you are ready, the encounter will begin. Increases the encounter rate from 5-10% to over 20%.
1 Thorough explanation of the perfect action flow of battle and defeating techniques
Ideally, a battle should be completed in one turn. Steps:
- Bargello's “Vanguard” activation → Act immediately.
- Protagonist “Spear of Crucial'' → Instant death on critical hit (99% success with Critical +50).
- Ludo “Business Negotiation” → 1.2x reward (activated after defeat).
- Follow me as a sub.
Escape prevention: Preemptive action is required. Enemies with low HP can be replaced with a full attack. Turnover rate: 45 seconds/battle.
Trouble: When multiple enemies appear, prioritize defeating one. Use passer in SP management.
Item utilization and troubleshooting to further increase efficiency
Additional items:
- Grape juice: +25%, lasts 20 turns.
- EXP Booster: +50%, Shepherd's Rock Mountain Path Treasure Chest.
trouble:
- No experience points: This is a backup formation mistake. Confirm your participation in battle.
- Low encounter rate: Reconfirm Geki Luck Coin.
- Out of SP: Become a passer.
Combined with money strategy: 150,000 leaves/body with Catlin, unlimited equipment purchases.
