Players that want to unlock and master every ability in Final Fantasy 16 will need to accumulate nearly 120,000 AP. While fans can certainly attempt to earn these Ability Points through standard gameplay, some players may want to take a more targeted approach and farm for them. This guide is here to assist with that endeavor, and it will detail several excellent AP farms in Final Fantasy 16.

To note, while players can utilize one of the AP farms detailed in this guide prior to unlocking the Wages of Warcraft accessory, they may want to put their farming on hold until that item has been obtained. For the uninitiated, the Wages of Warcraft increases the number of Ability Points that are awarded from normal combat encounters by 20%, and it can be purchased from Charon's Toll once the Cid the Outlaw main quest has begun. This is undoubtedly a significant bonus, and it makes AP farming much faster.

Final Fantasy 16: AP Farm (Early Game)

The best way to farm AP in the early game is to repeatedly kill Bluebirds, unique Chocobo that grant 40 Ability Points when dispatched. The following maps showcase two areas that feature these enemies, and players can respawn the beasts indefinitely by fast traveling to the nearby obelisks. Notably, the second location is much better than the first for fast AP farming, and fans should plan to use it once they have access to the area.

Final Fantasy 16: AP Farm (Mid Game)

As players work through FF16's story, they will receive the Cloak and Dagger main quest, which ends with a trip to the Free Cities of Kanver. This trip is currently believed to be the best opportunity to farm AP, as fans can continually reset the map's enemies, which award a ton of Ability Points, by fast traveling to a different location. To maximize the efficacy of this farm, players are advised to simply focus on the first three groups of enemies, resetting the map every time that those foes have been slain.

To note, if a player has already completed this section of the game, they can attempt to farm the Free Cities of Kanver through the Stage Replay feature that is available on FF16's Arete Stone. The enemies will not grant as much AP as they do during a first playthrough of Cloak and Dagger, though, and fans that have completed that quest may be better off targeting the next Ability Point farm.

Final Fantasy 16: AP Farm (Late Game)

For those fans that are beyond the Cloak and Dagger quest, repeatedly slaying the Hyenas near the Ravenwit Walls Obelisk seems to be the best option for farming Ability Points. The following map showcases the precise position of those enemies, and players can once again reset them by using FF16's fast travel feature.

Final Fantasy 16 is available for the PS5.
