By equipping the Ring of Timely Evasion, it becomes easier to evade enemy attacks, making battles easier and more enjoyable. While it may require more effort, it's worth using if you only consider the efficiency of AP farming.

Set The Difficulty To Story Focused

When you set the difficulty (play mode) to Story Focused, the damage you receive from enemies will be reduced, and the enemies' HP will be slightly lower. You'll be able to finish the battle with ease, making your AP earning more efficient.

Best Way To Earn AP (Ability Points)

World Map
Detailed Map	Local Image

It is recommended to earn AP by killing bluebirds at Hawk's Cry Cliff, which is visited in the early to mid part of the story. Once defeated, the bluebird will reappear once it warps, so it can continue circling between warps.

May Stop Appearing As The Story Progresses

The appearance of monsters in each area will change as you progress the story after the Fire In The Sky and the bluebirds will no longer appear in the mentioned location. Be careful not to advance the story too much if you want to earn AP at this point.

Repeatedly Visit The Free Cities Of Kanver At The Late Game

*Note that once you clear it, you won't be able to revisit it, so be careful.
**Make sure to save frequently to avoid missing any important details.

It is recommended to earn AP in Free Cities of Kanver during the story. You won't be able to go there again once you clear it however you can do repeat runs or loop around by going back to the World Map and then going back again. Replay Mode is not recommended because it is less efficient as you will earn less AP.

Final Fantasy Mode Recommended After Clearing

After clearing, you can play through the second playthrough in New Game +, which adds the Final Fantasy Mode the highest difficulty level, which significantly increases Experience Points earned in battle. Enemies will be stronger, but you can greatly increase your earning efficiency.

AP Accessories Can Also Be Synthesized (Effect Doubling)

In Final Fantasy Mode, you can synthesize accessories with the same name, allowing you to combine two The Wages of Warcraft items to increase the AP acquisition effect from 20% to 40%. Furthermore, a + sign will be added in the the accessory name when you perform the synthesis and it will not be considered as the same item as before. This means you can equip both the basic and upgraded version to achieve a total of 60% AP acquisition increase.
