Before the events of Octopath Traveler let players experience a connected tale of eight seemingly-unrelated characters, Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Content presents a prequel that shares exactly how another cast of characters saved the continent of Orsterra. As a gacha title, Champions of the Continent now allows players to acquire almost all characters across both Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2 on top of new units - giving players a fresh take on the acclaimed RPG.
For fans who want to dominate Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent gameplay, they may want to ensure they have access to as much resources as possible for level ups and enhancements. Thankfully, there are ways to keep track of certain dailies and weeklies in order to maximize resource acquisition throughout the entire Champions of the Continent experience.
Pursue Dailies And Weeklies: All For The Rubies
As with other free-to-play gacha titles with freemium options, this Octopath Traveler title can offer its premium currency called Rubies under specific conditions. Although available for acquisition through activities such as questing, Rubies are best acquired consistently throughout Daily Quests and Weekly Quests.
Although Rubies obtained here aren’t a lot, being able to stockpile free Rubies over time can help players acquire units in the current banner or even save enough Rubies to prepare for banners they prefer. Thankfully, fulfilling Dailies and Weeklies can be finished in a rather timely manner provided players are able to tackle multiple conditions at a time.
Daily Quest Rewards
Before players of Champions of the Continent proceed with their Daily and Weekly Questing, it may help to at least have a basic grasp of what each set of tasks would offer them upon completion. That way, players can gauge how often to play the game, especially if they plan on pursuing casual play or if they want to secure characters via free Rubies. In that regard, here’s the total of what the Daily Quests should give players upon completion:
- 130 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- 10 Bronze Guidestones
- 5 Rubies
- 20 Memory Fragments
Weekly Quest Rewards
Meanwhile, players who start completing Daily Quests may notice that their Weekly Quests in their Octopath Traveler gameplay may also have increased progress. The Weekly Quests are essentially the same tasks in the Daily Quests but with increased thresholds. However, unlike other gacha titles, Weekly Quests in Champions of the Continent are much easier to acquire compared to other titles. Players who diligently finish their slate of Weekly Quests may also receive a multitude of Rewards in the game, which are the following:
- 50 Gold Guidestone Shards
- 120 Silver Guidestone Shards
- 30 Rubies
Completing Dailies And Weeklies Quest Rewards
On top of the cumulative rewards attained by completing a set of Daily and Weekly Quests in the Octopath Traveler game are prizes associated with completing a set number of Daily Quests and Weekly Quests slate. This incentivizes consistent play on the part of gamers, especially with the reward of being able to attain Rubies and Guidestones. Here are the rewards associated with these:
- Finish 30 Daily Quest Sets: 10 Rubies
- Finish 4 Weekly Quest Sets: 10 Silver Guidestones
- Finish 8 Weekly Quest Sets: 10 Gold Guidestones
- Finish 12 Weekly Quest Sets: 20 Rubies
Consider Login Bonuses, Daily Resets
Similar to other mobile titles, Champions of the Continent does provide players with free Rubies whenever they login to the Octopath Traveler experience. Everyday, the Cait Scholar sends players not just 10 Rubies but they also come with unique letters that give a bit of flavor to remind gamers of the narrative depth offered by the game.
Again like other gacha titles, Cait Scholar also sends 30 Rubies every 10th Day. That means players can acquire a cumulative 360 Rubies every month, something that may be worth the collection even for players who just plan on logging in every day without playing. In a month, the total number of Rubies players would get in a month would be around 630 Rubies - which, if divided, would be comprised of:
- Daily Quests: 150 Rubies
- Login Rewards: 360 Rubies
- Weekly Quests: 120 Rubies (approximately)
Focus On Battle Quests For Guidestones
One of the more common Daily and Weekly Quests to complete in the Octopath Traveler title would be Battle Quests. As the informal name implies, these Dailies and Weeklies focus more on finishing certain combat requirements to attain Guidestones which focus on Awakening or Limit Breaking a Traveler in order to further strengthen their potential.
Most of the Guidestone Shards these Battle Quests offer are Guidestone Shards, which can be combined to form Guidestones specifically for 3-Star to 5-Star characters. While the Daily Bronze Guidestone rewards are not as potent as Silver and Gold Guidestones, the common nature of 3-Star characters make these worth the while. Here are the combat-related Daily Quests:
- (Daily) Win 3 Battles: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Win 5 Battles: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Win 15 Battles: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Win 25 Battles: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Win 50 Battles: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Eliminate 5 Enemies: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Eliminate 10 Enemies 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Eliminate 25 Enemies: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Eliminate 50 Enemies: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Eliminate 1 Elite Enemy: 20 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Eliminate 3 Elite Enemies: 10 Gold Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Eliminate 5 Elite Enemies: 10 Gold Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Eliminate 10 Elite Enemies: 10 Gold Guidestone Shards
Cycle Through Loot With Item Quests For Guidestones
An interesting addition to Daily and Weekly Quests in the Octopath Traveler game would be Item Daily Quests. Compared to Battle Quests, the Item Quests focus on having players purchase sell loot they’ve acquired from monsters in order to obtain Guidestone Shards. While the prospect of keeping a reliable Octopath Traveler sword seems promising, the idea of upgrading units with Guidestone Shards is a more practical investment.
At some point through these Item Quests, players are also obliged to successfully complete a Path Action that can often be done with NPCs inside Item Shops. Meanwhile, the Item Exchange is a convenient way of trading in Guidestone Shards for their Guidestone equivalents for Traveler upgrades. Here are the Item Quests available for completion:
- (Daily) Sell 5 Loot Pieces: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Sell 10 Loot Pieces: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Sell 20 Loot Pieces: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Sell 30 Loot Pieces: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Sell 40 Loot Pieces: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Sell 50 Loot Pieces: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Finish 1 Path Action: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Finish 3 Path Actions: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Finish 5 Path Actions: 10 Silver Guidestone Shards
- (Daily) Use Item Exchange 1 Time: 10 Bronze Guidestone Shards
Prioritize Hunts For Guidestones
Another combat-related Daily Quest players of the Octopath Traveler game should focus on would be Hunts. Completing a Hunt would net 30 Bronze Guidestone Shards on top of valuable loot, EXP, and special Guidestone Shards to further level up more powerful characters. Players do need to note that Hunts only become accessible in Cragspear’s Inn, which is then only unlocked after completing the storylines Master of Wealth, Master of Power, and Master of Glory.
They also get 1 Hunt Ticket per day, which should be more than enough for a basic clear and to finish the Battle Daily Quest slate. Given the difficulty of some hunts, players of the game need to rely on Octopath Traveler support skills to keep the party alive and finish the Hunt with any hassle. In terms of Hunting-related Daily and Weekly Quests, the list is as follows:
- (Daily) Clear 1 Hunt: 30 Bronze Guidestones
- (Weekly) Clear 3 Hunts: 10 Gold Guidestone Shards
- (Weekly) Clear 5 Hunts: 10 Guidestone Shards
