Octopath Traveler 2: How To Farm Caits & Octopuffs | Fast EXP, JP & Money

gameranx.com:

If you want to get far in Octopath Traveler 2, you’re going to have to grind at some point. There are eight stories with eight separate party members — and you have to level them all up individually. There’s no shared XP system here. If a party member isn’t in your party, they’ll have to earn EXP and catch up with the rest of your team. You’ll have to do this with everyone if you want to complete all the stories, and unless you’re extremely good at juggling character, at some point you’ll probably want to fight enemies and earn levels, job points, or extra cash for gear.

And the best way to do that is to farm Caits and Octopuffs. These rare monsters appear randomly in overworld battles. Most of the time, they’ll run away harmlessly. But, if you’re lucky, it is possible to defeat them for a bountiful bonus. We’re going to talk about simple strategies to make these rare creatures appear more often, and how to actually defeat them when they do appear.
