The Complete Octopath Traveler 0 Weapon Database (2026 READY)

Guide
Written by NLM Guide Team

You can't save the continent of Orsterra with a rusty butter knife, so I compiled the ultimate list of steel to help you kill gods.

A screenshot from OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 showing four pixel-art travelers crossing a narrow wooden bridge over a river in an HD-2D environment, with lush green mossy banks.

In Octopath Traveler 0, your damage output is only as good as the weapon in your hands. Whether I am running the new Protagonist job system or min-maxing exclusive party members like Tatloch and Sazantos, I have realized that gear is the only thing that actually matters in the endgame.

I have compiled the definitive list of every single weapon in the game. I’m not just talking about the highlights, I mean everything from the starting "Iron Sword" to the game-breaking "Battle-Tested" gear. I also broke down exactly which NPC you need to Contend, Entreat, or Mug to get them, because finding them is half the battle.

Weapon Compatibility Guide

Before you start hoarding, you need to know who uses what. Octopath 0 introduces exclusive jobs that change the rules slightly, and I honestly lost track of who could wield a spear until I made this cheat sheet.

My Take

If I have learned anything from sinking over a hundred hours into this game, it is that raw numbers rarely tell the whole story. I used to chase the Forbidden weapons for that massive physical attack stat, but the accuracy and speed penalties usually ended up getting my party wiped in the endgame trials.

My advice is to prioritize the Battle-Tested gear first. The passive effects like "Potency of Physical Attacks" or "Reduce Target Defense" usually outweigh the raw stat dumps of the Forbidden set. Plus, you don't have to deal with the headache of missing every other swing. Now get out there, contend with some grandmas, and gear up.

Quick shout-out to GigaGamer47, TenRen, SnapperV2 via Steam Community, as their list helped me quite a bit as I was creating this one!
