Leaves are the main currency in Octopath Traveler 2 and having a hefty supply of them is essential for buying better armor, weapons, accessories, and other supplies.
In general, you always need to have spare money. For instance, Partitio’s skill “Negotiate Schedule”, which makes him the best character in the game, requires spending Leaves whenever it’s used.
Thankfully, there are various ways of gaining money such as using certain skills, completing side quests, and selling items.
In this money farming guide, I will showcase the best ways to farm Leaves fast in Octopath Traveler 2.
Money Farming Guide: How to Farm Leaves Fast in Octopath Traveler 2
There are various ways of farming Leaves in Octopath Traveler 2. Let’s examine the five best ways to do it.
1. Use the “Collect” Skill (Merchant)
Partitio (and any other character with the Merchant as their secondary job) will have a skill called “Collect”. When used, this has a chance of robbing an enemy of their money and it can work on every enemy (including bosses).
This can be used once on each enemy per battle but will reward a lot of Leaves based on the enemy’s difficulty. If you can, I highly recommend using it on bosses since you can get up to 30,000 Leaves during the early game from one boss.
For a safer way, normal enemies also award Leaves, around 500-1,000 per enemy based on its level.
2. Use the “Grows on Trees” Support Skill (Merchant)
“Grows on Trees” increases the Leaves gained after every battle. This skill can be unlocked by Merchants after unlocking four job skills.
Keep in mind that equipping this skill on multiple characters won’t work as the effect doesn’t add up.
3. Always Search for Chests
When exploring cities, surrounding areas, or caves and dungeons, make sure to always search for chests. Instead of heading toward the next area or the boss as soon as you can, take an extra second to check alternate paths.
Most paths will lead to chests, which either contain equipment that can be sold or Leaves.
4. Sell Items and Equipment
Sooner or later, you’ll end up with equipment that you’re not using anymore. Under-leveled weapons and armor as well as weak accessories should be sold to merchants to earn some Leaves fast.
Additionally, when selling items, make sure to use Partitio’s Hire Talent and get an NPC with one of the following Business Partner Skills:
- Puppy-Dog Eyes – Earn 15-30% more from Sales.
- Smooth Talker – Earn 25% more from Sales.
One NPC with the Smooth Talker talk is Peddler, who can be found in Oresrush in The Wildlands.
5. Best Way to Farm Money – Sell Alrond’s Promissory Note for 100,000 Leaves
The fastest way to earn Leaves is to steal and sell Alrond’s Promissory Note, which sells for 100,000 Leaves. This is a quick way to gain money but only works once.
To do that, travel to Wellgrove in the Leaflands and head up the hill to Wellgroove: Alrond’s Estate. Find Alrond at the back and during daytime, you’ll be able to use Throne’s Talent to steal the note from him.
However, there is only an 8% chance of success, so you’ll have to try multiple times before succeeding.
If Alrord isn’t there, you’ll need to progress Partitio’s story and complete a quest with the mansion’s butler.
Before selling the note, make sure to have a Business Partner hired similar to the previous method to gain 25% extra profit.
Wrapping up – Best Ways to Farm Leaves Fast in Octopath Traveler 2
To summarize this Octoppath Traveler 2 money farming guide, the best way to farm leaves fast is by selling Alrond’s note. More consistent ways involve using Merchant skills and exploring each map.
With enough money saved, you can consider finally unlocking the ship, which allows you to set sail and get key items such as the EXP Augmentor.
