In Final Fantasy XV you use AP (Ascension Points) to unlock new abilities. There is a very simple exploit that lets you farm unlimited AP very quickly (around 7AP per minute / 420 per hour).
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: First you must complete story chapter 4 to unlock the “Beast Whistle”. This item will let you summon enemies whenever you want.
Step 2: Head to this location on the map, in the desert near Hammerhead Outpost:

The reason why you should go to this specific location is because enemies can spawn freely and there’s a little shack with a warp-point. Warping to the shack lets you refill all MP instantly (more on this in the next step).
Step 3: Summon enemies with the Beast Whistle (Press R2, D-Pad Right, Summon Enemies). Equip a Greatsword and kill all the enemies using Warp-Strikes (R1+Triangle). Whenever you kill an enemy with a Warp-Strike you are guaranteed to earn 1AP! Since the summoned enemies are only level 1-2 they should die in one hit. Greatswords deal more damage than other weapons when warp-striking.
Now just keep repeating step 3. Summon enemies using the beast whistle and kill them instantly with greatsword warp-strikes. Once the enemies are dead you can immediately call new ones! There are usually 3-5 enemies spawning together. When you run out of MP warp to a blue point in the combat area (e.g. the shack described in step 2).
Sometimes the whistle doesn’t work – in that case just use it again and enemies should spawn (and go to the location described above for best results). If the option to call enemies is greyed out entirely you are too close to an Outpost or Parking Spot. You must be out in the wild to summon enemies.

I found an easier way to farm AP
Fight Gladious on the easiest difficulty and always kill him with warp strike
Then keep redoing the fight
The loading screens are like 2-3secs
I killed him in 3 hits
Ways to make it easier are > Get the warp strike leveled up and use your strongest 2 handed weapon.
I do this when watching a movie and use wait mode also
When my screen hits wait mode i know the next fight has begun and just spam warp strike while watching the movie. I earned 120AP in 20mins
John says
The way he mentioned gave me 1500 ap in one hour.
DruSk33t says
I dont know how you got 1500 in 1 hr… I timed it, (several times) using a strength buff with the ultima sword I warp kill him in 1 hit. Going as fast as I could click the reload screen, I could manage 6-8 ap per min. (Thats 1 fight every 8-10 seconds) MAX thats 480 ap per hr. Still good. But there’s no possible way you got 1500 in an hr unless your getting more than 1 ap per turn.
DruSk33t says
Unless your talking about the method powerpyx is using. I have not tried thay yet. If thats what you’re referring to, my bad for calling you out. But the trainig with gladious method is impossible to gain that much ap in just 1 hr.
Komotaya says
You guys need to be using the king shield thy as a aoe on warp strike
Paul says
Agree with Komotaya. The King’s Shield Royal Arm is warp strike AOE. Faster for killing these so you get more AP per hour.
Tifa says
You actually can get all the Royal Arms before you beat the game. It’s just a matter of finding all the tombs. I did it and have yet to start the final mission.

Well this is embarrassing. I meant to post this under a different article. And now I can’t delete it. My bad!
josh says
there is items that give ap per time and offence as well as defense so if he has these equipped and getting A+ on 2 or 3 then the ap is increased to an amount. every fight i win gives me 3ap per win with the accessories for time and offense no matter how easy the fight
