Purchase is Tressa's Path Action in Octopath Traveler. This action allows Tressa to buy items from townsfolk, including some items that are not sold in stores or are otherwise exclusive to chests.
This Path Action is the noble counterpart to Therion's Path Action, Steal. The items obtainable from both Purchase and Steal are the same. However, certain items can only be stolen (marked as "Not for Sale"). There are also items that cannot be stolen but can only be purchased.
She may also get a discount when using this ability. The chance of and amount discounted depends on Tressa's level.
Gameplay[]
Regular items can generally be purchased cheaper this way than from stores, though in limited supply.
Unlike other noble Path Actions, Purchase is not limited by Tressa's level, but instead by how much money is available.
When purchasing items, Tressa has a chance to trigger a discount on the purchase price based on her current level as given in the table below:
| Level | Trigger Rate | Discount % |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 10 | 10% | 10% |
| 11 - 20 | 20% | 15% |
| 21 - 30 | 30% | 20% |
| 31 - 40 | 40% | 25% |
| 41 - 50 | 50% | 30% |
| 51 - 60 | 60% | 35% |
| 61 - 70 | 70% | 40% |
| 71 - 80 | 80% | 45% |
| 81 - 90 | 90% | 50% |
| 91 - 99 | 99% | 55% |
