Tired of the old Final Fantasy XV AP grind? One enterprising YouTuber has posted a guide for how to farm over 500 AP in 15 minutes using new items from Final Fantasy 15 update 1.03.

You’ll need:

  • Blitzer’s Fanfare

  • Warrior’s Fanfare

  • Armiger Accelerator

You’ll also need this Ascension node already unlocked:

  • Armiger Action

Follow these steps:

  • Go to the Three Valleys with the Shield of the Just

  • Summon monsters

  • Wait for battle mode to be activated before killing them (if you wait too long your party will kill the dogs and you’ll lose AP from warp-strikes)

  • Activate Armiger for +1 AP (don’t do it while a monster is still alive, you’ll deplete armiger bar and waste time. Best moment to activate Armiger is before the health bar of the last monster is half-empty. You’ll get +1 AP for activating it and Armiger bar will practically be untouched)

  • You’ll get +3 AP from an A+ in Timing and Offense thanks to the fanfares

  • As soon as you see the +3 AP, summon a new pack of monsters

  • If you wait too long you won’t be able to summon another pack until after the Report Card finishes handing out XP

Here’s a video explaining the process:

REVIEW SUMMARY
Final Fantasy XV
8.5
Combat, Plot, Characters Create Something Flawed, Beautiful, Fantastic
Despite it's flaws, Final Fantasy XV is a milestone achievement: not just for being completed, but for being completed with polish, aplomb and love.
  • Engaging main cast of characters
  • Fun, fast-paced combat
  • A massive, beautiful world to explore
  • The Regalia!
  • Continuous updates have addressed some shortcomings of the initial release
  • Major aspects of the story feel rushed or absent, particularly toward the end of the game
  • Stealth sequences feel out of place
