Final Fantasy VII Rebirth NEW INSANE AP FARM OVER 80,000 PER HOUR

[@jonh4872]

Title is a bit misleading. It's more like 11k AP per hour. You're multiplying it by 7 because AP is shared, but you're not gonna max out a swift cast which requires 18,000 AP in just 1 hour of doing this method

Lol, they may as well multiply it by 100 for every materia they equipped as well. Over 1 billion AP per hour.

[@sharvbitgaming]

Just came in the comment section to say the same thing. Otherwise, a good farming method.

[@iNSPODS]

Quick tip for all using this method: instead of wiping all enemy groups and then saving/loading, just retry the fight Vs the last group and they will all respawn. Faster than going into menu and saving/reloading. Great guide, thanks for sharing.

[@nxcess9046]

If I may, it is actually much faster to utilize Cloud's Triple Slash(with an L1 shortcut). Sleek Saber with all of the attack bonuses. First Strike, ATB Boost, fire+ice/Elemental, 5* strength up, +10% strength accessory. Just engage, tap L1+R1, then tap your shortcut for triple slash twice. Approx 2.5sec per battle. Faster than magic att

[@stephencdaniel]

I used the Fury Ring but yes this is the way.

[@stephencdaniel]

Add Luck up x2 for overkill

[@soli6026]

Quick TLDR tips from all the comments: -Set to Easy mode (not sure if having Hard mode adds extra AP) it makes it so you just have to stay on Fira only and can use HPMP. If you have Swiftcast use Firaga. -Give Cloud as much Magic as you can -Have Aerith or someone else have Synergy with Petrify materia linked (non elemental damage) small AoE damage if Fira doesn’t kill -I find it easier to do the Gaghandi’s, Grandhorn then Grangalan and vice versa route. -Before you encounter the last set of mobs retry, so all of the other enemies respawn then engage them and repeat with the other side.

[@chesteradams7423]

Hard mode does not increase AP/EXP, it's the fact that you completed the game that increases the AP/EXP gain. It was the same way for remake, people thought Hard mode increased it but that wasn't the case. I tested it out, I beat an enemy in hard mode, then beat the same enemy in easy mode and they gave the same AP.

[@NoorKhanNY]

This worked pretty good, but I was still losing some MP each battle. I added a MP absorb connected to ice materia and that solved it.

[@Mandorallen1980]

I use Aerith with mp absorb+Ice and cast blizzaga on everything and it does enough damage to get my mp back

[@MK-fm3ln]

I just did chocoking cape with first strike and doing two triple slashes was quick.

[@PineappleFlau]

Something to consider (especially if you find another spot and make a followup video later), it would probably be more useful to most viewers to quantify it as AP per materia per hour. That gives a better idea of how long people will be spending maxing out any given materia, ie., seeing 80,000 and then having to divide by 7 characters (I believe is how you're doing the math here? Based on the last video) is less intuitive than just saying something like 9000 AP/materia/hour (which I believe is what you're actually arguing here, 75 AP and 30 seconds per monster pack). I bring it up because I was intensely confused by where the 80,000 was coming from, and had to rewatch the previous video. For a minute I thought you were counting how many slots you had, but that meant you'd be getting like, 900 AP/hour which clearly isn't the case. But also, knowing how much AP any given materia will get per hour helps quantify how long it takes to master specific materia. If you're grinding Time materia, knowing it takes 1200 AP to master gives quickly that you can master about 7 batches of them in an hour (giving some time to re-equip new ones when the old ones get mastered). If I'm trying to master Swiftcast, I know I can take that 9000 AP/hour, triple it, and know that that's... pretty much gonna take the whole hour to max it out even with the chocobo armband, jesus that thing takes so much AP.

[@credge]

It's also taking him more like 80 seconds instead of 30 seconds per run of 75 AP, putting it at around 3,400 AP/hr.

[@mimcduffee86]

@@credge It's 74 seconds per run, not 80. And even at 74 it's still 3600AP per hour per materia slot. 75AP per run (for anything not linked to AP Up), 48 runs per hour.

[@credge]

@@mimcduffee86 2:27 3:44 5:04 6:26 makes runs of 77, 80, and 82 seconds including saving/loading/running (minus ~5 seconds on one for standing still), so 74 seconds sounds reasonable. But in the end we're picking hairs over values very close to 3,500 ap/hr on a video that claims 80,000. Our values are within 10% of each other, the title is over 2,000% higher than either.

[@anti-canon9277]

I fully agree with this. I was very confused about how this was going to get me 80,000 AP per hour for each materia. Seeing this it makes so much more sense to me.

[@lauradrew1260]

Bigger numbers drive views and clicks.

[@Cerodan]

If you save your game right between the Greathorns and the other pack (3:05) and farm just those 2 groups you are even faster because save&reload is faster than running to the other 2 spots

[@NhanNguyen-ex9hy]

For those who not have swiftcast yet, switch the game diff to easy so we can use blizzardra , fira to farm Aerith setup: accessory: chocoking cape, materia: HP MP , speed up, 1st strike, hp up, mp up, magic up -> use ga spell if you always get 2 ATB bar, or use ra spell for weakness elemental is fine too Cloud: 1st strike, strength up -> shortcut his triple slash, it help mini stun the mob while aerith cast ga spell 3rd party member: sysnergy cast linked with quake to help disrupt the mob or finish it off in case the ra spell not finish them all.

[@Aaron-qb7jr]

I think I found a quicker method using just one mob in eastern Nibelheim using the save/reload method. The mob is in an open area just south of the silo and pipes in between the Chocobo Stop and the route up to the Mt. Nibel Southern Ascent. The mob has three Nibel Wolves and a Poison Cap. They give you a total of 30 AP per fight, the highest easy fight I have been able to find so far. My Materia setup is Fire/Ice-Magnify, Fire-MP Absorb, Fire-HP Absorb, Fire-Magic Focus and First Strike. I use Cloud with the Chocoking’s Cape and the Rune Blade with Full-Power Magic, Magic Attack +20, and Stagger Recovery. I think it may be overkill but it gets the job done fast. I cast two quick magnified basic fire spells which kills all four pretty quickly. With the save and reload it takes about twenty seconds from reload to reload. That gives about 90 AP per Materia per minute, 60 if it takes a little longer on the button presses. That makes 3600-5400 AP per Materia per hour if you do not stop to change anything out, rest or go shop. I hope this helps someone.

[@SkyReaperOne]

I've been thinking... Wouldn't it be more efficient to simply go to one of the Fiend Intel spots and just re-summon them every time you beat them instead of the whole "save/reload" bit? Just gotta find the one that gives the most AP out of those you can one shot.

[@Aaron-qb7jr]

I was thinking the same thing, but it was taking quite a bit more time to gain control again after beating them, so I stopped looking for the one with the highest AP. It might be worth trying.

[@SkyReaperOne]

​@@Aaron-qb7jr Just tested out all the Fiend Intels that didn't have some gimmick that would make them take a while to kill. Came across 4 of them that gave 24 AP per run and one that gives 27. The one that gives 27 is in Cosmo Canion, it's the Sahagins. I don't really recommend them, since they tend to get one hit in on Cloud which usually results in a double KO. XD The one I would personally recommend is in the Grasslands, Fiend Intel 5: Picky Eater. They die to a simple fire spell, so no need for quick cast and even with the HP-MP materia, they don't hurt if they do get that hit in. On top of all that, they are real close to the reset point. So you don't need to run far to reset it, and unlike all the other ones that give 24 AP, there are only two of them in the encounter, whereas the others have 4 enemies, which complicates things a bit sometimes. Anyway, takes 25 seconds from the time you start pressing the reset button to the moment it pops up again after the fight so long as you have a magnified fire materia on your shortcuts. Using this video as a reference, turns out both methods give out roughly the same amount of AP over time. One cycle in the video (from pause to the next time you hit pause) gives about 0.914 AP per second. The way I came up with gives about 0.96 per second. I'm sure that the method in the video can get better results then shown by cutting down on time per cycle, I just don't see anyone being consistent with optimally farming that route. So they both do just about the same, but this newer method is simpler and only needs three materia instead of six. No need for Quick Cast and a second copy of the offensive materia. Can take off the First Strike materia too, thanks to the chocobo cape. HAH! Replaced the HP-MP materia with another fire materia linked to MP Absorption rank 1. Full refund on the Fire spell. XD

[@AnaverdGaiden]

With the Gongaga spot it takes me around 50 seconds per clear including saving and loading, and at 75 AP per run it's still better than the Nibelheim spot. Plus you don't have to menu as much which makes it easier to do while watching videos and stuff. If that worked well for you though then that's great!

[@SkyReaperOne]

@@AnaverdGaiden 50 seconds per clear? That's really good. XD

[@Cryosxify]

the ap per minute between the 18 ap and 21 ap mobs is like 100 (going from 21 mob to frogs is like 12+ seconds so too long compared to just save and load). so 6000 ap per hour. this is with lb mapped magnified fire/firaga and swiftcast

While the bee method is faster if you haven't cleared the game yet and unlocked chapter select this is still good. A couple things I noticed. -Blizzaga is strong enough to kill everything so you can do the entire run with just Ice Materia. -MP Absobtion + Ice is better than HP ->MP Materia as there's less of a chance of Cloud getting knocked out (also HP->MP seems to also freak out if you alter Cloud's MP at all). It also let's you take advantage of Full-Power Magic on the Rune Blade. - You can run a direct beeline between the Grangalans and the other group and vice versa. There's holes in the fencing that you can run through.

@@thecasualcanuck4590 I believe the HP > MP is another chadley developed one, just an earlier chapter, I forget which one though. And to note the swiftcast specifically needs you to complete all the protorelic intel in all chapters to unlock that area for anyone wondering.

[@craigfunk3453]

Strictly speaking you could use MP absorb instead of hp/mp swap (usually a spell focused character set up can hit hard enough with a magnified spell to get the mp used back) and unique to cloud (his rune blade has stagger recovery) you could swap for petrify (lower damage, but higher stagger potential and impact area; though swiftcast is needed to cast those spells quickly) and watch everything rapidly stagger then petrify while stagger recovery handles mp management (made even easier by either setting a 3rd petrify paired with magic efficiency for reduced costs or mp absorb to add more mp recovery) you could even swap the chocoking cape for the boxbreaker keychain (essentially an equipable stagger recovery) and add an ATB boost materia to quickly hit 2 ATB for an '-aga' spell

[@AnaverdGaiden]

So two little things to improve the grind: 1. You don't have to go all the way around to get from the egg enemies to the frogs, there's a gap in the fence near the frogs so you can walk straight to where they are from the grass. 2. You're likely going to want to have Swiftcast linked to an AP Up Materia on the 3x AP armor, which makes it impossible to do the Blizzaga strategy quickly. What I recommend is using Yuffie's Windstorm move alongside the First Strike Materia, Chocoking's Cape, and either Magic Up or Strength Up (I'm not sure which stat Windstorm goes off of so I just have both equipped).

[@TragGaming]

Windstorm is a magic attack. Only one of yuffies abilities that doesn't use magic is Art of War/Supreme Art of War.

Hey Primal I think I found a better grinding spot. Using the same materia set-up I've been farming the desert sahagin world Intel in Cosmo canyon. It's combat Intel 1, you fight 3 sahagin that can be killed with one magnified blizzaga and they drop 2,100 Gil (with Gil up materia) and 27 AP. The reason I think it's a bit better is that you can just instantly retry when you beat them. No save/load or zoning in or out, no walking to different targets. Just kill, hold triangle, repeat. Idk if there's a better ratio in one of the other combat trials, I basically just checked Nibel, gongaga, and CC. But I definitely recommend it over the current method you have here. It's faster, lazier, and better Gil

Pretty sure you can shortcut the spells, no? Would make it a lot faster than menu selecting. Might be able to put Auto-Cast on someone who isn't Cloud so you can keep running and they do the spell cast that kills. They should kill before you get Flee going. Auto-Weapon and only put Windstorm on for Yuffie could also work. Lastly, your last battle just immediately hit retry instead. It reloads the map in just a couple seconds so all the battles respawn. And then you do your loop again. So if you have 4 fights, on the 4th fight, hit retry, and fights 1-3 respawn. Kill your 4th fight, and loop around and retry on what was your 3rd fight, and rinse, repeat. I think this is the fastest method.

Found a good method thats close in speed but might be easier and faster for some. In the battle arena. The six person bouts: the uncouth, you fight 10 bugs worth 3ap each for first party but second party fights 10 bandits worth 6ap each so 60ap. On easy, both matches dont take much time and you can rechallenge right away, took me about 1m 20s per 60ap and some might be able to do them faster. Each party only gets ap from each battle so make sure ap boost and chocobo band are in the second party fighting the bandits. You also farm some gold saucer points while your at it.

[@glaive616]

Thank you for this.

[@wSeeDw]

Just triple slash or blizzaga chimera mimic and 2 gagighandi, save-load and repeat, no? Sure it's faster to travel distance to next pack which gives less AP?

[@wSeeDw]

Have you found the answer?

[@robertmoore3695]

I'm going to reiterate what many have said and add two more suggestions that should increase the AP rate gain to OVER 300K AP PER HOUR. First, bear in mind that the AP per each group is 18 (gangralan/egg thingies), 18 (frogs), 21 (chimera/gagighandi), 18 (grandhorn). The two closest groups are the last two. A lot of time is spent running from frogs to chimera. Here's how to make best use utilizing the "retry", minimizing running, and getting the 21 AP group every other time: 1) Make sure Tifa is in the party, but is not your blizzaga caster. I like her second so she starts on the right of the party leader (saves just under a second per battle). 2) As soon as you cast blizzaga on chimera group or fira on grandhorn group, immediately switch to Tifa and start dodging back toward the other group. You should cover 1/3 to 1/2 the distance before the spell animation finishes, especially if you don't have a maxed out Swiftcast. 3) As soon as the enemies die, the party leader will teleport to Tifa and you take control just a few steps from the next fight. 4) Initiate the battle, but immediately pause and retry. 5) This puts you one step away from starting the battle again. Repeat steps 2-4 6) If you notice your caster is getting hit while you are dodging with Tifa, put an HP absorb paired with ice or fire on your caster. It may take away two material slots, but with this method being 50% faster it should more than make up for that. I checked my AP: 351 per materia every 5 minutes = 4212 AP / hour. Using 12 slots per character and multiplying by only 6 characters (assuming a bunch of stuff on your caster is already maxed): 303,264 AP/hour ... or nearly 4 times what this video claims. FYI, that run was also without Swiftcast (I had that with a double AP on the triple AP armband). I was using blizzara on the larger group instead. If this is done with Swiftcast in place, it might be even faster.

[@jeune-fou]

I might be wrobg but i'm wondering if hohjo's challenge might be even better since one of them has two ying yangs that five 30 (so 60 just by beating these two). Also si ce they are virtual challenges tout do not need to reload your save

[@nunya3399]

Well every time I reload my game his mp lowers to 60 and then I save and it’s near 0 the second reload. The mp/hp swap doesn’t carry over through saves.

[@ClassyCrustatio]

You can go to the coliseum and pick the 2nd 2 partner battle and with the right setup get 132k/hr....

[@bloodblade0795]

If you press retry battle on your last set, you can reset everything quicker!

[@lenin5270]

Nice video almost done with, 1st playthrough definitely gonna follow this🏆

[@BigDawg107]

What’s need is there for Gil on a second play through?

[@厶しりあらな]

I almost jumped the gun a little bit. still had it on hard mode, after swapping for the required materia and then spending all the gil i had on time materia and filling in some other materia that needs maxing, i started the circle. Completely obvlious to the difficulty setting and on top of that, I forgot to rest. I'm like.. it's supposed to be 6k mp not 60. That was interesting.

[@davidthornhill6642]

There's an even faster trick, and one you can do at the end of chapter 9. Once you're at the part where you can call Cid for the first time, stay in the Gongaga Region and go to the mark on your map that says "Phenomenon Intel 2: Dissident Destruction". Right before you enter the "building", there will be a mob of four monsters that will give a total of 33 AP. Using roughly the same setup as in this video, you can take care of them in two seconds. Climb up the little ledge that leads to the building (but don't go in the building) and step into the sunlight, save your game, and then load that file (you don't have to turn off your game, just load from the options menu). Once the game is loaded, turn back around, and the same mob should respawn there, granting you another easy 33 AP. Kill them again with the same trick, and do this process over and over again. Under normal setup, this trick got me nearly 200AP per minute, 1200 AP with AP Up on a Chocoband. In just four hours I maxed out ALL my materia with this trick, even the swiftcasting materia (which has 18000 ap requirement to master the last ⭐) Keep in mind, you need to step into the sunlight, far enough from the ledge, for the monsters to respawn when you reload the save file. If you're too close to the ledge, they won't respawn. Easy way to fix that is just step a little further away from the ledge, save again, load that save, then they should appear. No fast travel necessary. 😁

[@htl9042]

I just use APB boost and make a combat shortcut to mindblast and it usually takes out all the enemies instantly.

[@Iybraesil]

Instead of saving/loading press retry for the last pack and everything will respawn

[@joshuafitzpatrick7714]

Are we still saving Gil for a surprise battle method?

Did they fix the gilgamesh island? I got all upgraded summons and all protorelic intels, i got gilgamesh island my first play through, decided to do it my second play through instead. Went into chapter 13 in chapter select and gilgamesh island isnt popping up for me. Some please help me! This is really sad and disappointing and might just quit the game and never come back because this is ridiculous

[@NoorKhanNY]

I use the MP Absorb materia instead of HP to MP and woth Blizzara I am able to stay at full MP the whole time. Bussin

[@technoblob]

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ultimate AP farm earning over 80,000 AP per hour this lets you master every materia in the game (except 1-2) in less than 15 minutes. This title is horseshit click bait, thanks for wasting my time there are faster ways to farm AP to max out materias, like using the Choco Armband. Anyways, great guide except it's entirely misleading. Farming this method is still going to take you hours to max out materias.

[@soniccinos]

You can assign Blizzaga and Fira to a shortcut. It will be a notch faster!

I think maybe theyve changed something with the recent patch. I cant one hit the Gagighandi enemies any more. I have 468 Magic Attack and 10% magic damage when at full MP and they live wirh about 15% health. Edit: Turns out its because im playing in hard now compared to when i first tried thia method. Silly me.

[@riccardofiori3203]

they should have added a materia that swaps exp/gil for ap

[@WabiTheChocobo]

there are holes in the fence, so you can shave off a few seconds when you go from the first group that was killed in the video to the second one (or vice versa) also i think running with chocobo will help - how many gil do you think should we have for the method, and for what will it be useful? you got my curiosity edit: a gil up materia is also potentially worth sacrificing a single slot, for double the gil gains, if i had to guess, i will go for it at least

[@jmsaddz]

Why are you farming GIl? Can I know the reason? Im in chapter 8 right now and I don't even know where I should need to spend (or farm) Gil aside from some lacking materials and some sale Hi potion or Ether.

How did u get so much Time materia?

[@bebekungu]

hey man, cheers for the method.. helps a lot, anyway, my friend found better way to do your method.. instead using blizzardga, u can use yuffie with her ability, windstorm with 1st strike materia and chocobo cape. so when entering battle, cast 2 times windstorm and done. cloud HP wont be that critical and u don't have to wait cloud casting magic.. well maybe with 100% swiftcast will be ok.. but for player who doesn't have that yet maybe this method can be more practical. hope this help... cheers..

[@Thanatos-VI]

Why not set blizzaga and fira in battle setings? That would save a lot of in fight menuing

Using the shortcut setting means you need to press L1 which reverts the magnify materia back into single target.

This is not really as fast as just grinding the sahagin spot in cosmo. You can even use a similar setup. I made a video about it, but it's not as professional as your content. Feel free to make your own - maybe you'll find a spot even better than sahagins. But for me, they're the best thing I've found. 10k exp and 28 ap every time you fight them. Look forward to seeing your content on gil.

[@escapeknopf4014]

Nice farm . But my MP are reseting from 6000 to almost zero every 3rd run. Any Idea ?

Similar thing happened to me too. I think when Cloud levels up the game gets weird and resets his mp down to what it should be without the HPswapMP materia

MP resets if you swap out any materia from Cloud that affects his HP/MP stats.

[@princedmarvel3719]

You get swift cast after defeating gilgamesh island

[@SkyReaperOne]

@Primalliquid Using this video as a base, I figured out a simpler method that yields equal, if not better amounts of AP. It's self sustained too. :D If you look in the replies to Aaron-qb7jr, you can see how it happened. Anyway, instead of running around from one group of enemies to another, saving, then reloading, all you have to do is go to the Grasslands and do the Fiend Intel 5: Picky Eater repeatedly. One magnified fire spell is plenty to one-shot the two birds and they give off 24 AP per fight. 25 seconds per run (from the time you start pressing the reset fight button to the time where it appears again). Only materia you need is magnify, MP Absorption and have them both linked to a fire materia. Any rank of those materia will work with this method, and the only gear you need for it is the Chocoking Cape. Feel free to spread the word on this method and it's all the same to me whether or not credit is given for it. I won't really be spreading this find myself and it'd be a bit of a shame if it didn't go anywhere. XD

[@10420800]

Chimera group gives 21AP Grandhorn/frogs/eggs groups each group give 18AP. A single round running with a chocobo + all mobs wiped takes approx a minute. This it’s approximately 75AP /min or 4500AP/hr. Is my math incorrect here ? Video title is misleading, though this is a great farming method
