Skills are a recurring game mechanic that grants travelers various abilities during battle based on their primary and secondary jobs.

Game Sub-Pages:
Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent Octopath Traveler II

Skills can be acquired by spending JP. Each traveler can learn the skills of each job, but may only use the skills of their current active primary and secondary jobs during battle.

JP Cost[]

The JP cost to learn a new skill is specific to the class. For instance, learning a fourth skill for one job will always cost 100 JP and will not count the total number of skills across all jobs.

As the traveler learns more skills, the corresponding job's support skills will also be unlocked.

Divine Skills may only be learned once all 7 skills are learned.
