While experience points are vital as in any role-playing game, in Final Fantasy 15 AP is perhaps even more important because of the new abilities they will grant your party.
If you’ve taken a look at the Ascension skill tree, you’ll notice that there are a lot of skill nodes to unlock, some of which cost hundreds of AP at a time, so you’ll want to accumulate them as soon as possible.
Interestingly, AP not only decreases at a constant rate as you play, but is a resource to earn just like EXP, and there are always opportunities to get more wherever you go.
Once you’re done, you might also find some interesting ways to get quick EXP and Gil.
Let’s Play Final Fantasy 15: WHAT’S HAPPENING (Xbox One Gameplay)
Farming AP: How to get hundreds of AP per hour
If you want to get a lot of AP quickly and don’t mind a little grinding, then we recommend finding a group of low level enemies that you can quickly kill with Warp Strikes over and over again (receiving 1 AP each time). such as the Fanfare gear that comes with the free Holiday Pack DLC to receive additional AP for A+ ranks at the end of each battle.
A useful location is one recently found west of Duscae, near the Disk of Cauthess, as explained in the following YouTube video by Madness Gaming (via Reddit), which generates 816 AP per hour and tons of Gil and EXP for equalize. You’ll need the monster whistle to call enemies to your location (you’ll learn this in Chapter 5) and be there when it’s not raining; otherwise it will be a simple case of killing them over and over again.
Having the following AP boosts will also help you make profits, so consider doing a little work first to maximize your efforts:

Otherwise, the secret to getting AP is that there are some simple solutions that give you dozens or hundreds of points at a time, but they need to be integrated into common activities so that you get a steady trickle over time.
With the right approach, virtually every activity will generate a small amount of AP as a side effect, and you’ll accumulate it without even trying as you complete the game’s numerous quests and detours.
Perform specific kills and skills in battle: The way to accumulate AP faster throughout the game is if you kill an enemy with special moves, specifically link attacks, parry kills, and warp attack kills.
The easiest of all is to kill with Warp Strike, as you can keep an eye on each enemy’s health and, when it is low enough, go around the map and take them out for an easy 1 AP point. It’s not much at first glance, but do it when taking out simple enemies in the wild and it will add up quickly.
Kill an enemy with a Warp Strike for 1 AP.
Equip AP to increase Gear: As part of the post-launch Holiday Pack DLC (which is available for free on the PSN and Xbox Live stores), the game introduced three ‘Fanfare’ items that you can equip in the Gear slot. They are:
- Blitzer’s Fanfare (gives bonus AP when getting A+ in Time Out of Training)
- Warrior’s Fanfare (provides additional AP when earning A+ in attack outside of training)
- Tactician’s Fanfare provides bonus AP when getting A+ in Finesse outside of training)
Downloading the Holiday Pack DLC will automatically add it to your inventory ready to be equipped; Although it generally depends on your fighting style, we highly recommend having Blitzer’s Fanfare and Warrior’s Fanfare equipped at all times (any character in your party will suffice), as you’ll almost certainly get an A+ rank in most battles, especially if you are farming low level creatures. This is a very easy AP (usually one or two AP per battle) that builds up very quickly, so equip it as soon as you can to reap the benefits.
Leveling Up: The easiest, if somewhat lengthy, way to gain AP is to simply gain experience, with each character doling out 3 AP points when they level up. The advantage of simply focusing on EXP is that your characters’ base stats increase as well, which is equally important for dealing with more difficult enemies and dungeons, so consider looking for easy EXP gains if you’re also looking for a bit more AP.
Level up a party member to gain 3 AP.
Tours: If you’re looking for a quick dose of AP, join one of the tours around the world. These are character-specific interactions, and while some may take a short period of time, they are essentially dialogue trees that you can do on any level. These are recorded as green quests in your quest book and provide 20 AP each.
Story Interactions: Similarly, there are moments in the story, as well as some side quests, where you have a dialogue tree that gives you a handful of AP or EXP as you do them, so playing the quests mains can give you some AP here. and there.
Training with Gladio – When you arrive at camp, in addition to having the option to rest for the night, you will also be able to participate in training with Gladio. These “drill” exercises give you 5 AP per level completed.
You’ll also want to unlock specific Ascension nodes so that each spell or Armiger you cast gives you AP, which we explain in more detail below.
Do you need more help? Our Final Fantasy 15 guide and walkthrough can provide tips on the main story, as well as the many open-world quests and activities. Learning how to get AP quickly, EXP quickly, and money or Gil quickly will help you in many optional dungeons and tombs, including how to open and explore their locked doors. There are also many interesting side quests, such as the Scraps of Mystery and Professors Protege frog locations. And if you want to get around easier, you can rent a Chocobo, learn the infinite sprint trick, and later in the game get the Regalia Type F flying car. There’s also more to see and do with the DLC, like Episode Gladiolus and Episode Soon.
Ascension Nodes: If you are serious about gaining AP then you should invest your first AP points in the Exploration part of the menu which gives you AP to do other activities (the amount of AP in the brackets is the cost to unlock) :
- Road Racing (32 AP): Earn AP driving in the Regalia
- Choco-bump (32 AP): Earn AP by riding your Chocobo
- Choco-jockey (32 AP): Earn AP by winning Chocobo races
- Aperture (333 AP): Gain AP with specific photographs
- Fisherman Action (18 AP): Earn AP by catching fish
- Sport Fishing (99 AP): Earn more AP by catching big fish
- Happy Camping (20 AP): Earn AP when you visit a new campsite
- Happier Camping (48 AP) Earn extra AP when you visit a new campsite
- Appetizer (20 AP): Gain AP when you cook a member’s favorite food
We recommend first Road Running (using the Regalia), Choco-bump (using the Chocobo), Happy Camping (camping in a new place), and Magical Action (below, from casting a spell), as these are all activities that you can do. You’ll do this throughout the game on a regular basis, then buy the others when you’re delving into those specific tasks.
There are also AP boosts from the Armiger and Magic areas:
- Armiger Action (48 AP): Gain AP when you use an Armiger skill
- Armiger Chain Reaction (48 AP): Gain AP when you use an Armiger skill
- Magic Action (24 AP): Gain AP when you cast a spell
