How to get more Leaves quicky in Octopath Traveler 2

There are two best ways to quickly earn Leaves in Octopath Traveler 2. The first relies on luck, though you can improve this, while the second is more dependable but requires a specific character. Here are the best ways to make money quickly in Octopath Traveler 2.

• Defeating Caits/Octopuffs
• Partitio's Hire Ability

Hunt Caits and Octopuffs in Octopath Traveler 2

Caits and Octopuffs are rare enemies that only spawn randomly in battle. They will quickly try to flee and can only be damaged by magic. However, if you defeat them, they grant a large number of Leaves and experience. This lets you farm them for experience and money. Because of their rare spawn rate, this is not the most reliable way.

To best hunt and farm Caits, use the Hunter's Support Skill that spawns rare monsters and equip the Cait Powder/Octopuff Pot accessory. The Cait Powder is earned by completing the My Beloved Catharine side story in Clockbank, while Octopuff Pots can be stolen from Fishermen in Conning Creek. These will increase the odds of Caits and Octopuffs appearing, giving you more opportunities to farm them.

Hire Merchants with Partitio

Partitio's path action allows him to hire NPCs, and you will want to seek out a Merchant NPC. These will increase the number of Leaves you earn by selling items. Many items exist only to be sold, and having a Merchant following you will greatly increase your earnings. We recommend holding on to items until you have hired a Merchant.

Additionally, Partitio has many skills that generate more money. His Support Skill, Grows on Trees, increases the money you gain from battle, and his Collect skills let you gather money from enemies in combat. These skills and abilities make Partitio a money-making machine in and out of combat.
