It might not seem like it early on, but the Wishvale reconstruction arc in Octopath Traveler 0 eventually opens up to a point that dedicated players can build a remarkably diverse settlement with design influences from all across Orsterra. These “blueprints” you acquire through various means can really liven up your growing town, turning standard houses and facilities into continental masterworks.

Octopath Traveler 0: Beginner Tips
Don’t leave what’s left of Wishvale without these tips for your Octopath Traveler 0 adventure.
And they’re hardly alone. There are shop lists to snag from each city, so that Wishvale’s own shop – once you have one – can steadily become the only one you’ll ever need. At this point, we’ve located just about all of them!
Additional Smithy Recipes
Additional Smithy Recipes grow the number of objects which can be constructed in Wishvale. They don’t appear to correlate quite as closely to the individual towns they’re found in, although some decorations, at least, do seem specific to their locations.

It’s a strange one, innit?
Trade Goods
Another category for Ludo’s shop, but instead of the “normal” inventory, these add regionally-oriented items to the rotating list of trade goods which refresh on a regular basis. You can also spend 2,000 leaves to automatically refresh them. You’ll get a rather random assortment of stuff from all the trade goods lists (and other stocks, like the “Backdoor Dealer” resident ability), each time.

These are recipes in the truer sense, which is to say, they add several food and beverage dishes to the Wishvale tavern’s cooking menu. As is the case with most categories, they’re primarily found in settlements, via Path Actions, and so forth.

House And Establishment Blueprints
The last two categories, collectively referred to as blueprints, are for altering the designs of your houses and various facilities, respectively. The facilities which can be given a makeover include the tavern, the shop, the salon, the church, and the training center. (By contrast, neither the museum nor the arena can be changed.)
By collecting blueprints from different regions of Orsterra, you can have a fun time designing a Wishvale which reflects a distinctly multicutural bend!
