editing nuts

[fang yuan]

someone knows how to reset the added nuts to each character?
like where to go in the files or maybe an editor that allows you to remove them.

I doubt it. That would be an incredibly specific thing to program and I don't see anyone bothering to do that.

Do some Googling and you can find a way to edit saves, though I'm pretty sure only the raw data of the stats is kept so one would have to know exactly which nuts were applied (and on top of that look up how much each nut gives as that's not consistent between characters)

found a solution, get your save file (C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Octopath_Traveler\[some number]\SaveGames) get the saveData file with the number that matches the save in game, go to an online .sav file editor, search fot this: CharacterID_6_AB6BE4BD426A49AE64EA458F343F22C7, thats the character's ID lines. (there are 10 lines that matches the string 2 of them have a value of -1, ill assume that they had 10 save slots and didnt use 2 of them) every line with this string matches each character:
// 1:Olberic
// 2:Tressa
// 3:Cyrus
// 4:Primrose
// 5:H'annit
// 6:Therion
// 7:Ophilia
// 8:Alfyn
for example the line with CharacterID_6 [some letters and numbers]: (6) is the title of the data of therion.

for the nut data you look for MainMissionProgressCnt_87 under the character and between that line and the next character is the nut data. to reset just set everything to 0.
** there are 12 lines, but only 10 kinds of nuts if ill have to guess BP and MP are not nuts, that CON is critical and AGI is speed. i didnt endit the BP and MP since i dont know what they are (BP is maybe battle points? i see no purpose saving them in the files ), comment if you do know

then in the same file editor change the number of nuts you have, this is the layout:
ItemID_8_9DE7BACC4450597F0A7C7780E25ED27F [some integer]: (item id)
Num_5_94500A7E4AA427B66C5C57A47949F18E [some integer] :(amount)
item id table:

the integer needs to be the same for the same item id to amount

(make sure to make copy your save file before editing)

I want to revive this Topic with a question. Can you do the same to change your exp?

NGL i have absolute zero recollection of writing this, but i assume you can if you reset both EXP and LVL.
If you want to increase exp just increase it in the editor (If you arent sure which box is the exp try to load a save on the editor, win 1 combat and reload and see what changed)
If you want to reset a charactet there might be a problem with the stats though, so it might be helpful to find out the stats of charactrers from a fresh file and paste them over
