Discussion Re: Purifying Dust in Octopath Traveler 1
So I've mentioned you can get purifying dust for free with two NPCs located at Orwell standing next to each other side by side. Well, instead of wasting time repeating yourself over and over by trying to farm for 99 of purifying dust, equip Olfreic with Merchant as subclass and two accessories and one passive skills, namely -
- Stimulating necklace or Stimuatling whatever item that boosts your SP further
- Clarity Stone. One can be obtained from Murkwood if you have Ophelia with you who enters Murkwood forest as her Chapter 2. I think you can go there anyway even if you haven't got there with opening Ophelia's Chapter 2 via going west from Saintsbridge.
- Starsee's passive skill BP Eater. This will boost the amount of damage, aka money in this case with the damage you cause to the two NPCs that drop purifying dust. It will maximize your repeated attempt with the two NPCs to garner as much money off of them as you can because at least one of the two NPCs has over 20,000 HP so you can per a bar fight attempt make that much money off of him.
After equipping as above, hit the two NPCs carrying purifying dust with Belfgar's Bounty as many times as you possibly can per an attempt.
Purifying Dust costs a lot to purchase, but if you use the above equipment set-up, you don't have to spend more than 10 tries with two NPCs to break even after you buy the net balancing purifying dust you need to hit 99 of them.

What a stimuatling read. Who could forget everyone’s favorite characters Olfreic and Belfgar.
