[Octra 0]Complete strategy guide for the strongest equipment in the early stages | The world will change with a reroll! Immediate training for beginners to advanced users

Octopath Travelers 0, commonly known as Octopath 0, is a single-player RPG that attracts many players with its beautiful HD-2D graphics and deep strategy. Immediately after its release, the high level of difficulty in the early stages of the game became a hot topic, with many beginners having difficulty especially when facing strong enemies at low levels. However, the best part of this game is the high degree of freedom in exploration and the use of field commands. Since you will be able to move around all maps immediately after free movement is lifted, it is possible to completely overturn the game balance by equipping yourself with powerful equipment from the beginning.

In this article, we will thoroughly explain each category of swords, scholars, axes and spears, armor, treasure chest equipment, and accessories, with a focus on reroll techniques that utilize the “beg” command. If you have these equipment, you will be able to easily overcome mid-stage bosses even around level 10, and your hunting and efficiency of Catlin hunting will dramatically improve. All official names and statuses are used, and only reliable information is compiled.

1. Prerequisite knowledge for early stage strategy: Improving the success rate of escape and thorough use of begging

The most important thing in the early stages of Octora 0 is the correct understanding of the field command “Begging”. This command is a powerful way to obtain equipment and items from NPCs for free, but the success rate varies depending on the NPC, and the success rate is only around 3%. If you fail, your relationship with the NPC will deteriorate and it will be difficult to try again, so it is essential to reroll using a last-minute save.

First, all maps will be released immediately after the start of free action (after clearing chapter 1 of the main character's story). Even if your level is low, you can move to strong enemy areas, but prioritize equipping support effects that increase the success rate of “escape'' when a battle occurs. We recommend the initial accessory “Torch Amulet”, which increases physical defense and elemental defense by 10% and stabilizes your escape. This allows you to safely access NPCs in dangerous areas.

The procedure for rerolling a bender is as follows.

• Manually save at a save point near an NPC (tavern or church).
• Execute the request, and if successful, proceed. If it fails, return to the title screen and reset by loading.
• This will prevent the relationship from deteriorating and allow you to take on unlimited challenges. If you ask for something once, you can be sure to get it by repeating it several hundred times.

There is an alternative method to use “Improve Relationships” in the tavern, but it costs 1000 leaves each time, so it is inefficient in the early stages. Also, when exploring the city, collect additional information by “asking” and increase the inventory at the weapon shop. High-performance weapons such as the Silver Ax will now be sold in stores.

Furthermore, we will proceed with gathering friends in parallel. The top priority is Alexia, who can instantly grasp the enemy's weak points with her “investigate” ability. If you have a party of 4 people (main character + 3 people), the battle will be stable. There is no need to raise your level excessively, just focus on strengthening your equipment while progressing through the story one chapter at a time.

If you keep these assumptions in mind, you will be able to prepare veteran-class equipment from the beginning and progress through the game smoothly. We will introduce specific equipment in the next chapter.

2. Strongest class sword equipment in the early stages: Overwhelming firepower of exorcism sword and platinum sword

Sword equipment is the backbone of physical attackers. The strongest weapons in the early stages are the “Exorcism Sword” and “Platinum Sword”, and if you get them together, your firepower will increase dramatically.

sword of exorcism

• Status: Physical attack +68, evasion +17
• Effect: Rarely reduces the target's attribute attack power when attacking.
• Where to get it: Request from “Torch Knight from the Garrison” in Theatopolis (success rate is about 3%)
• Reset point: Use the save point near the Torch Knight. Although the success rate is low, physical attack 68 is nearly 7 times that of the initial sword. Evasion correction improves survival rate, and attribute attack reduction effect makes it ideal for magic enemies. Required for swordsman jobs and main character sword wielding.

platinum sword

• Status: physical attack +166, attribute attack +92
• Effect: None (specialized in pure firepower)
• Obtained location: Ask from Atlas Dam Castle “Loyal Guard” (low probability)
• Reset point: Repeat before saving in the castle. Its physical attack is more than twice that of the Exorcism Sword, and it can hit mid-game bosses within one hit. It is highly versatile with attribute attack correction, and is also excellent as a link for late-stage weapons.

Equipping these to a swordsman will more than double the follow-up damage after a break and shorten the boss fight. As an alternative, there is a Great Sword (physical attack 65, purchase 7500 leaves), but the cost performance of begging equipment is overwhelming. Combination example: Exorcism sword + power belt can achieve physical attack over 250.

3. Super unique equipment for scholars: unrivaled attribute firepower with the forbidden book and laurel staff

The scholar job's strength is general magic attacks, making it ideal for mopping up small fry in the early stages. If you have the “Forbidden Book” and “Laurel Staff”, the attribute damage will be at the late stage level.

forbidden book

• Status: physical attack +130, attribute attack +390
• Effect: Significantly strengthens attribute attacks
• Where to get it: Ask from the “murmuring old man” next to Frame Grace Tavern (very low probability)
• Reroll points: Use Frame Grace Church save. Attribute attack 390 is an abnormal value and can wipe out all low SP magic. Ideal for scholar protagonists and secondary firepower.

laurel staff

• Status: Attribute attack correction (Attribute attack greatly UP, refer to staff list)
• Effect: Increases attribute power
• Where to obtain: Obtained from the “Priest” in Sheatopolis (relatively easy)
• Reset points: Collected at the same time through the Exorcism Sword route. With the synergy with the Forbidden Book, it is possible to constantly deal more than 1000 elemental damage.

Now, one scholar can handle half the damage of the entire party. Alternative: It will be further strengthened when used in conjunction with Orustella's history (Attack UP, Library Man Begging).

4. Strong early equipment for axes and spears: Break specialization for silver axes and silver spears

Axes and spears have high breaking performance and are essential for attacking enemy weaknesses in the early stages.

silver ax

• Status: Physical attack 43, hit correction
• Effect: High firepower break
• Where to get it: Ask from the “soldier” at the entrance of Theatopolis (high probability)
• Reroll point: You can also aim for the secret of Kabuto wari. It is the mainstay of the ax job.

silver spear

• Status: High physical attack, speed correction
• Effect: Accelerates break
• Where to get it: Purchase Ember Glow
• Reroll point: Take the initiative with speed, perfect for spear jobs.

This will shorten the break time and double the damage efficiency.

5. The most important armor equipment: iron armor and shield of a famous family for impregnable defense

It is the armor that determines survival rate.

iron armor

• Status: Physical defense +50
• Obtain: Torch Knight Request
• Effect: 7 times the defense of the initial armor.

shield of fame

• Status: Defense + Speed ​​correction
• Obtained: Atlas Dam Castle Soldier Begs

Equipping it as a tank will result in zero annihilation.

6. Strong early equipment that you can definitely get from treasure chests: The enchanted dagger and the history of Orstella

It is a powerful piece of equipment with low risk.

Enchanted Dagger (Deceiving Dagger)

• Status: Speed ​​+20, accuracy reduction effect
• Location: West Valore Road Treasure Chest (Catlin Area)

History of Olustela

• Increases all scholars' attacks
• I'm asking for a library

It is safe with auto save.

7. Final reinforcement accessories for magic and physical classes: power belt and element booster

This is a finishing accessory.

power belt

• Physical attack greatly increases
• Atlas Dam Castle Treasure Chest

element booster

• Attribute +100
• Atlas Dam Boy/Frame Grace Priest

Compatible with both physical and magic.

8. How to make the best use of broken equipment in the early stages and a summary

Operation that takes advantage of these: All equipment can be prepared in a total of 2-3 hours at the re-rolling session. Party example: Swordsman (Platinum Sword + Power Belt), Scholar (Forbidden Book + Element Booster), Spear (Silver Spear), Tank (Iron Armor).

Training: This is a merchant sub-job to earn JP. Boss battles are a combination of finding weak points and hitting the break repeatedly.

In summary, these equipment will drastically reduce the difficulty in the early stages. Please be thorough in your re-rolling and enjoy an unparalleled adventure.
