Everything You Need To Know About Ability Points
In Final Fantasy XV, maximizing your ability points (AP) is an important strategy to defeat opponents as quickly as possible. There are two fundamental principles you should remember about AP. First is through unlocking the exploration nodes and the second is by unlocking magic nodes in Ascension. Doing both lets you earn more AP points and destroy the enemies early on in the game. Below is a list of the tips to improve and maximize your Ability Points (AP) in Final Fantasy XV.
How To Maximize Your AP In Final Fantasy XV
Upon completing the main quests talk with Cindy in Hammerhead, you will earn 10 AP. At this time, you need to ignore the main quest and go directly to Cotisse Haven. There, find and absorb energy from elemental deposits and camp there for 1 AP. Choose a recipe that does not require ingredients. Lastly, complete the Stirred, Not Shaken tour with Ignis for 20 AP.
After following the first method, go to the minimart and purchase 91 bottles of Sheep Milk. You will now have a total of 92 sheep milks since you were automatically given one bottle from the start. Now, proceed with the main quest and complete the first four strategy tutorials to earn 12 AP. Defeat the last enemies through warp strikes, blindstrikes or parries for an extra 3 AP. After freeing Dave and hearing his requests, select "do it for a price" to gain 2 AP.
Go to Merrioth Haven and simply acquire all the elemental energy there. Unlock the first ascension node named: Happy Camping. After doing such, you need to camp again to reach level 3. This earns you 26 AP.
Hunt the Dualhorn by heading south to complete the tutorial strategy on Blindsides. You can use the three fire spells in the Magic Flask you got from Dave in order to defeat the beast. After that, go to Circlawe heaven located at the south east of the map. Gather all the elemental energy. This will help you prepare for your next duel. Train with Gladio and defeat him to earn 5 AP. Remain in the haven and camp for another 3 AP. Lastly, go to Merrioth Haven and camp for an additional 3 AP.
Now, you can learn Powercraft from the Magic Ascension Tree. In case you lack the AP, you can go back to Circlawe Haven and camp once more. This time, you will be able to create your first powerful spell. Remember to put all of your fire energy and sheep milk in one flask. You will get 14 dualcast firaga spells with a 207 potency stat.
Complete the Rise and Shine Run tour at Lachyrte Haven after visting Galdin Quay to acquire 20 AP. After doing this, you can prioritize Roadrunning, Angler Action, Aftertaste, Appetize, Magic Action, Elementalism and Chocobump in Ascension. Always remember that Roadrunning gives you 1 AP for every 1.25 miles of driving. The appetize ability also reinforces your allies with your favorite foods, as well as increasing the AP every time you camp.
