How to farm Ability Points quickly in Final Fantasy 16
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.

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.
