What is the easiest and fastest way to gain AP?

[Seto Fett]

As the topic asks, how so? I need AP fast because I want my Final Attack materia maxed and I will soon be getting Shield materia, so I'd like that maxed as well.

[Dreddz]

Just training in the NC would be the best

[redxiiii]

....Or you could get the apocalypse sword from the Anchient forest and make sure you get the W-item materia, then travel to the final dungeon until you come by magic pots , make sure to use the 99 items cheat to get 99 elixers, then just equip the materia you want to level up to Clouds apocalypse, and give magic pot`s an elixer and kill them this will give you tons of ap and exp really quickly!!!

[Dreddz]

oh yer
and theres that

[Zifnab]

Fighting the Weapon monsters would give them a massive boost.

[Seto Fett]

Hehe, well, that was the point of getting the AP. Ok, this magic pot thing, how much exp and ap does it give?

[Omega Bahamut]

It gives about 1000 AP. Exp... I forgot. I have to fight him again.

[Zechs]

The ord things in the 'tropicl' area in the NC is one ov the best, aside from the Magic Pot.

[Sasquatch]

That's what I did, was go into the Northern Crater. I mastered every materia I had (which I'm pretty sure was all of 'em), including Summons (damn, that took a while), many more than once. Then, I went to whatever-the-hell-that-place-is (forgot...where Red XIII is from) and got the Master Summon, Master Magic, and Master Command materias...then I went back and got another Master Summon, and two more Master Magic, and whupped the Weapons' asses. (Was there another Master materia?)

[Zechs]

Master Magic, Summon, and Ability.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Though technically the Master Ability isn't really the master, because it misses out a few commands.

[Omega Bahamut]

Like Enemy Skill?

[Garnet]

best AP gaining party is:
Cloud with his Appocolypse(3 3x slot)
Cid with his Javalin (5 2x slot i think)
and who else? who will be the 3rd person?

and with Run armor ofcouse :)

and btw are there any 3x armor?

[Ffgrandmaster]

Movers In the Northern Crater and Cid Equiped with..... I think Trident which has 2 slots with 3x AP
P.S. How Do you get Final Attack and The Master Materias, I got one set from beating Jewel Weapon (Had to Cheat)

[Garnet]

3x 2 only 6 :)
2x 5 is 10 ^_^

get final attack by beating fight thingy at golden saucer
and after a few time beating it... u get invite to a special arena and fight :P if u win u get final attack... if u die... u walk home

[Ffgrandmaster]

3x 2 only 6
2x 5 is 10

This is true but 3x 2 gives each materia triple ap
2x 5 gives each materia double
So the question is wether you want to build up 1-2 materia faster or all of them at once which could take a litte longer
With 3x 2 fighting moovers will give you 9,000 ap per materia
2x 5 will give you 6,000 a peice
