1. The importance of leveling up in the early stages of Octora 0 and all preparation steps

Attacking weak points and breaking are the keys to Octora 0's battles, and if the level is low, the shield durability will not be able to keep up and the risk of annihilation will be extremely high. In the battle against Pardis III in Chapter 1 of Master of Everything, it is recommended that you be at least Lv20, and letting your guard down in the early stages will double the clearing time. In particular, when progressing through the first chapter of Torch, Wealth, Power, and Fame in parallel, many players are completely stuck due to lack of level.

Preparation priority list

First, complete the following preparations after clearing the prologue (after joining Fen). The journey takes approximately 1-2 hours.

Preparation items	Details	effect
gathering friends	Stia (Prologue), Fen (Blue Cave), Alexia (Valore Library Event), Macy (Valore Tavern)	Combat efficiency will be doubled with a minimum of 4 people. You can instantly reveal your weaknesses with Scholar Alexia's “Search” feature.
Begging for initial equipment	Sword of Exorcism (Thiatopolis Garrison Torch Knight, success rate 3% reset), History of Orustella (Strong man studying in the Shyatopolis library, Attribute Attack 65)	Swordsman's physical attack +20, scholar's magic firepower increases explosively.
accessory selection	String decoration of promise, wristband of spirit, torch amulet	Boosts the entire party's status.
Acquisition of abilities	Boost point passer (steer), lucky arrow (merchant main character) with job points 150 or more	Job point earning efficiency will be dramatically improved.
Obtaining food	Grape juice (produced by Valore Bar Fen)	Experience value will be +50%. Must be used in all battles.

Example of optimal begging route

1. Wishvale → Valore Boulevard → Theatopolis (Sword of Exorcism, re-rolling, about 10 minutes)
2. History of Orstella in the library (magic damage doubled with attribute attack 65)
3. Ember Glow Fur Robe (Defense 64)
With this, you can reach around Lv12.

After starting the town build, if you use Cat's Whiskers to place a Catlyn statue, all experience points and job points will increase slightly. Be sure to take advantage of the Blue Catlin statue as a save data bonus.

Now head to Valore West Road. If you rush in unprepared, you will be instantly killed by the enemy's 400 damage.

2. All-out conquest of Valore West Road (West Valore Forest Road): Access, enemy encyclopedia, circuit route
