In this article, we will thoroughly explain step-by-step three essential techniques to solve these problems at once.

Thorough preparation to build the foundation of infinite money strategy
First, prepare the abilities and party composition that will form the basis of your money plan. If this preparation is insufficient, efficiency will be halved. The key to Octora 0's money strategy is the combination of the merchant job's battle ability “Collect Money'' and the thief Therion's support ability “Steal More.'' “Money Collection'' is a skill that directly steals leaves from a single enemy, and if you use it after building up the boost to the maximum, the success rate will greatly increase. Additionally, when a character equipped with “Steal More” collects money, the leaves earned will be doubled. With this synergistic effect, you will be able to stably earn tens of thousands of leaves per collection.
Steps to learn essential abilities
- Mastering merchant jobs and mastering money collection: Change the main character to a merchant job or recruit Tresa as soon as possible to make collecting money the ultimate skill. If the main character is a merchant, you can learn “BP trading” (support ability) from the beginning, and you can borrow BP from neighboring characters when collecting money. This allows you to collect the maximum amount of boost from the start.
- Therion joins and the secret of “stealing more”: After clearing Chapter 2 of The Master of Everything, proceed with the substory “Encounter with Therion” in Cragspear. After joining Therion, immediately master “Steal more” and equip it to the merchant character who plays the role of collecting money. It is also effective to use Therion himself as the collector.
- Strengthening BP supply: Focus the dancer job's “BP Plus” (support ability) on the main character or rear guard. In addition, we will organize Steer and Macy, who have SP passers, to support the continuous collection of money. Adding Kelzas will increase the escape success rate and stabilize the money strategy loop.
Recommended party organization example
| position | Character example | role | Equipment SA example |
|---|---|---|---|
| First (collector) | Therion/Tresa | Collection execution | Steal More + BP Trading |
| BP supply | Main character (dancer) | BP plus | BP plus |
| tank/passer | Olberik/Steer | Durability + SP sharing | – |
| escape aid | Kel'thas | Increase escape rate | – |
With this configuration, you are ready. It is possible to practice this at level 15-20, and the equipment should prioritize speed. The higher the speed, the earlier you will be able to collect money and prevent enemy actions. The time required for preparation is 2 to 3 hours in parallel with the story progression. This will increase your financial efficiency by more than 10 times.
Super efficient money strategy spot 1: Loop capture of a remote island in the open sea “Ferocious King Octolin”
The top priority money spot after acquiring the ship is the symbol enemy “Ferocious King Octolin” that appears permanently on a remote island in the open sea (risk level 55). This enemy takes pre-emptive action, but its attacks are centered on single-target physical attacks, making it easy for tanks to withstand, and the collection success rate is over 90%. You can earn 25,000 leaves by collecting the maximum amount of boost in one time, and 50,000 leaves by stealing more. You can run away without defeating the enemy and fight again immediately, creating an infinite loop. You can earn at a rate of 100,000 to 150,000 leaves per minute, and you can immediately prepare a complete set of mid-game equipment.
Detailed access and loop instructions
- location identification: From Rippletide, sail to the northeastern part of the open sea. The target is the small island at the top right of the map. Access in 1 second with fast travel registration.
- Battle begins: Touch the symbol in the center of the island. Enemy HP is low (about 80) and no break is necessary.
- Collection execution: Collect the maximum opening boost amount with Therion/Tresa. If you succeed, you will get 50,000 leaves.
- Immediate escape: 99% success with Kael'thas effect. Enemies do not disappear and can be contacted again immediately.
- repetition: 1 cycle is 10 seconds. It will be more than 500,000 leaves in 10 times.
Points to note and optimization tips
- enemy behavior pattern: Weakness to spears, daggers, and axes. It is covered with Olberik, so there is no need to sharpen the shield before collecting money.
- Avoid failure: Equip speed equipment (e.g. speed +50 accessory) to the collector. If collection fails, reload.
- bonus: Collect physical/magical attack power up equipment from treasure chests on the island. I'm going to get the best equipment while making money.
- Level guide:20 or more. At low levels, there is a risk of failure to escape.
This spot alone allows for millions of reefs in an hour. You can freely arrange the weapons and armor secrets in the early stages and make the difficulty level easier even before clearing the stage.
Super efficient money strategy spot 2: Stable money strategy using the monster arena
After building the “Monster Arena” to level 6 or higher in Town Build, it will also become a powerful money-making area. You will be able to collect 1 to 17,000 leaves per battle against captured monsters. Even if you defeat them, you can fight them again and earn experience points/JP. Ideal for supporting remote islands.
Arena release and operation
- construction conditions: Proceed with town build in Wishveil. After giving priority to the church and cauldron, upgrade the arena.
- capture subst: The number of targets increases by capturing one. It also serves as a fragment from the man-eating flower (Woodland) and glitter.
- combat loop: Boost collection → Victory or escape. Double up on stealing more.
The arena will be stable without being affected by weather. With remote islands and rotes, you can accumulate millions of reefs in a short time. We also recommend using Wool Sale and Bifergan Shingan.
