Octopath Traveller: 14 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

I covered this earlier as part of the tip involving Therion's secret Golden Axe, however it's worth noting that nearly every town has a path, house or location accompanied by an NPC stationed outside.

Inside these locations are often swathes of treasure, be it in chests or just interactive parts of the environment, giving you an advantage in the earliest hours of the game in particular.
