[Octopath Traveler 0 Strategy]Complete manual for town reconstruction! Rebuild the city as quickly as possible with a thorough explanation of the top priorities in the early stages and accelerate the pace of capture.

One of the biggest appeals of Octopath Traveler 0, commonly known as Octora 0, is the town build system that allows players to rebuild the main character's hometown of Wishvale with their own hands. By utilizing this system correctly, you can improve the efficiency of acquiring equipment, accelerate the training of allies, and achieve a stable supply of funds and materials, dramatically increasing the overall speed of attack. Immediately after the game's release, many players have been forced to struggle due to poor choices in the early stages, but in this guide we will clarify the top priorities and propose a route that eliminates wasted effort. By practicing this, anyone can build an ideal city that will overwhelm other players from the beginning.

Especially in the early stages, the key is to quickly raise the town level and prepare the core facilities. The reconstruction work that begins immediately after clearing the prologue is not just town building, but the foundation for strengthening combat power. We will explain in detail step-by-step everything from how to collect shining stones to the optimal placement of residents, so please take notes as you proceed.

1. Understand the basic system and overall flow of town reconstruction

Town reconstruction is the process of rebuilding the ruins of Wishvale, centering on the building workshop. Immediately after the game starts, the construction workshop will be automatically unlocked, and from there facilities such as a bar (with base function), a store, a training center, a church, a private house, a field, a ranch, a delivery box, and a torch stand will be sequentially unlocked. The overall flow is as follows.

First, complete town tasks to raise your town level. The sub-story “Light of Restoration” series is essential for this, and Light of Restoration Part 1 can be ordered from Stear in Wish Veil immediately after the end of the prologue. By clearing this quest, Town Build will be fully unlocked and you will be able to build private houses.

town level	Main release facilities	Examples of achievement conditions
1	architectural workshop	Prologue clear
2	Tavern (base), field	Clear Light of Reconstruction Part 1, Town Task (Vegetable Cultivation/Farm Raising)
3-4	Shops, training facilities, private houses (large)	Light of Reconstruction Part 2 (Rimpletide's invitation to Irian)
5-6	church, cauldron	Collect 6 shining stones and progress to Torch Lighter Chapter 1
7 or more	Delivery box expansion, museum	After the middle of the main story

As shown in this table, as the town level increases, facilities will increase and residents will be able to move in. For residents, the trick is to get 100% success with the field command “Listen” → “Invite”, and in Light of Reconstruction Part 2, place Ripultide's Irian and Olive in the private house (large). When collecting materials, use field commands on forest roads and snowy roads, and prioritize securing wood, stone, and cloth materials. Overall, it's best to keep story progression to a minimum and complete town tasks in parallel.

If you make a mistake in the process of reconstruction, you will stall due to a lack of materials, but if you proceed with the correct priorities, you will have a strong lineup of shops by the time you reach town level 6. The next chapter will explain the specific order of construction.

2. Master the optimal building order and release conditions

The success of reconstruction depends on the order of construction. The building workshop will be built first, followed by the tavern, store, training center, and church. This route creates a virtuous cycle of material supply → equipment acquisition → training → exploration efficiency.

• Step 1: Architectural workshop (automatic) → The starting point for all architecture. It is enough to remain at rank 1.
• Step 2: Tavern (base) → Available after clearing Torchbearer Chapter 1. The party formation menu will be opened, and you can get buff effects when creating dishes.
• Step 3: Shop → It will be released around town level 3. Advance to rank 3 with top priority. The valuables slot will increase, and you can get powerful equipment and secrets early.
• Step 4: Training Center → Special move acquisition will be unlocked at rank 2. Greatly reduces combat difficulty.
• Step 5: Church → Just before Town Level 6. The biggest benefit is unlocking the blue treasure chest at rank 3.
• Additional facilities: Private house (large), field, ranch → Invite the Ilian siblings and place them in the Light of Restoration Part 2. Automatically produce vegetables in the field and animal materials on the farm.

As a condition of release, please be sure to clear the Lights of Restoration series. For example, Restoration Light 4 is recommended at level 27, occurs during the development of a trade route, and invites the Jasper siblings. This will stabilize store replenishment.

The rough guide for building materials starts at 20 wood, 15 stone, and 10 cloth, and increases gradually. Be more efficient with the field command “Purchase”. If you follow this order, you can avoid unnecessary construction and avoid stagnation in the early stages.

3. Optimization of resident placement and thorough use of lock function

Residents are the key to determining the production efficiency of a facility. The lock function fixes the most suitable personnel and prevents misplacement. Place one person in charge of cooking with the ability to increase the number of dishes, one person in the store with “Purchasing'' and “Connoisseur'', one person with “Speed'' and “Increase in the number of harvests'' in the field/ranch, and one person with “Technical training'' and “Practical training'' in the training center.

facility	Optimal resident skill example	Obtaining example (light of reconstruction)
store	Purchasing, connoisseurship	Peddler (Part 4)
training center	Technical training, practical training	Fen (Torch Chapter 1)
church	Ophelia (after joining)	Story progression
Field/Ranch	Speed, increased yield	Uillian Olive (Part 2)
cooking	Increase in number of dishes	Granny Margo (Torch Chapter 2)

Apply the lock immediately after placement. Use “Learn more” to increase intimacy and increase wealth, power, and fame parameters by 2. This increases the field command success rate and makes it easier to attract. Placing a boy like Basil (Torch Chapter 2) in the field will speed up automatic harvesting. Please place them near the entrance to reduce travel time.

4. Priority enhancement of church rank 3 and cauldron: How to collect 6 shining stones

Church rank 3 is the biggest return when the blue treasure chest is released. The required material is 6 shining stones, and each symbol enemy will drop 1 stone. Securing it near Town Level 5 and paralleling the progress of the Torch Lighter.

The priority functions of the cauldron are as follows.

• Surrounding research: Displays undiscovered treasure chests and symbol enemies on a map. Boosts search efficiency.
• Animal Talk: Automatically collect materials and improve farm efficiency.

Use immediately after release. Loop and locate the Shining Stone Farm in your research. This will solve the lack of material in the middle.

5. Eliminate waste by prioritizing the details of each building upgrade

Upgrading uses up materials, so I strictly follow the priority order.

• Shop: Rank 3 top priority (valuables quota increased)
• Training center: Rank 2 required, Rank 3 available (Learn special moves and secrets)
• Base: Up to rank 2 (party formation)
• Architectural workshop/church: OK at rank 1-2, postponed
• Field/Ranch: Stable production at rank 2

The delivery box will be used for up-close materials. Accelerate with silver and gold ingots.

6. Techniques for securing and storing offensive items and improving the efficiency of food management

Store items marked as valuable at stores. Purchase powerful equipment and secrets immediately. You can replenish the ingredients in less than 10 pieces, and rely on shops in the early stages. Move to self-sufficiency by upgrading fields and pastures.

The ingot collection is as follows.

• “Purchasing'' and “Questioning'' in dangerous areas.
• Up to 100 pieces in stock in extra-large delivery boxes.

This will stabilize your funds and materials.

7. Master the city with advanced tips for optimizing facility placement and increasing intimacy

Place the church, store, delivery box, and training center near the entrance. Save time by reducing travel time. Increase intimacy to 3 and increase field success rate to 99%. Gather the requested items at the store and invite the loop.

Tips are as follows.

• The number of residents will increase when all lights of reconstruction are cleared.
• After clearing, the layout will be freed by moving fixed facilities.

Summary: Town reconstruction is now complete! Implement the 3 top priorities now

The top priority is shop rank 3, training center rank 2, and church rank 3. Secure 6 shining stones and unlock cauldron research and animal talk. Please make sure to keep valuables safe, lock residents in place, and improve intimacy. Once the reconstruction is complete, equipment, training, and funds will be automated, making it much easier to conquer the story. Players who follow this guide have cut their initial clear time in half. Transform Wishvale into your dream town and enjoy the true charm of Octra 0.
