How to farm Ability Points quickly in Final Fantasy 16
The art of AP farming can be tough if you don't know where to go, so get started right here with everything you'll need to get more Ability Points in FF16.
AP farming is essential if you're looking to unlock abilities as quickly as possible in Final Fantasy 16 - though not everyone knows where to go or which enemies to fight.
Thankfully we've got a method that can get you plenty of Ability Points in no time, letting you work your way towards the best build and take on the toughest bosses.
How to farm Ability Points
The fastest AP farming method in FF16 is by hunting Bluebirds, worth a whopping 40 Ability Points each. That's one of the highest yields of AP amongst weaker enemies in the game - compared to those such as the Wild Chocobo providing only 8AP per kill, or the Vulture enemy with 4AP.
What's more, you can boost this even further by equipping the Wages of Warcraft accessory - increasing your Ability Points earned in normal combat encounters by 20%. So, farming via this method will earn you 48 Ability Points for every defeated Bluebird.
How do I hunt Bluebirds to farm AP?
Make sure to follow these steps to most efficiently hunt Bluebirds and farm AP:
- Buy Wages of Warcraft from Charon's Toll after Chapter 23, Cid the Outlaw.
- Switch to Story Focused Mode - speeding up each encounter.
- Equip Wages of Warcraft.
- Fast travel to the Royal Meadows Obelisk.
- From the Royal Meadows Obelisk to Northreach, find and defeat the three Bluebirds plus their accompanying Wild Chocobos.
- Fast travel back to the Royal Meadows Obelisk.
- Each Bluebird and other enemies will then respawn, so repeat the previous two steps until satisfied.
You can also farm AP by killing the Bluebirds in Sorrowise near the Martha's Rest Obelisk. However, as well as each Bluebird being more spread out, reaching them from Martha's Rest requires more time travelling - making the process far slower.
