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

9. Fight Enemies Around 5 Levels Above Your Own For Effective, Safer XP Grinding

Something I've found when putting considerable amounts of time into grinding - it seems you can tussle with foes around the 5-7 level above you mark, and not get flattened.

Whilst it would certainly pay out sizeable XP to enter into a level 35 cave when you're still in the teens, just one group attack will wipe you the F out.

When trying to find good places to grind, keep an eye on in the bottom left corner of the screen. The location text will show up when hovering around the entrance to a cave or forest, letting you decide whether or not it's worth attempting a fight.

Let me know in the comments if you've found different strategies to survive high level fights - personally I find a patch that's around 5-7 levels above, and stick to it.
