    Default Best place to earn ABP?

    Where is the best place in the game to earn ABP? I've been using Bal Castle since world 2, but it doesnt seem to be cutting it anymore. Is it possible to encounter magic pots more than once, or can you only fight them the first time you enter the phoenix tower? If I can't fight magic pots, please tell me there is a better place to gain ABP than Bal Castle.

    That would be the final part of the N-Zone, in the crystalline area right before the final battle. The monsters give about 30 ABP every battle, though they don't give XP.

    Don't fight King Behemoths by the way, unless you like getting slapped with Meteor every time you hit them.

    Uncommonly, you might encounter three Movers in a battle. You have to defeat them quickly, or else the battle automatically ends. Use attacks that target all enemies. They are weak against Fire I think.

    Movers also give 199 ABP (!) and a very generous sum of Gil.

    So yes, the final crystal area of the final dungeon is the best place. Especially for mastering those power classes like Red Mage, Hunter, Mystic Knight, Mime, etc.

    Movers also spawn rather frequently in the bonus dungeon. I'd recommend hitting that up.

    I love fighting the Movers. They drop 50 000 Gil for each one and they respawn so you can easily get over 200 000 Gil per fight. Altough I've never had the battle end automatically though.

    The crystal part of the final 'dungeon' is where I gain most of my experience and AP. I'm not sure of any other places, though.

    ABP, is it really a problem? Soon after getting the Steam ship, first world, just after the fire crystal, I soon mastered... Ninja, and Red mage... as well as a number of others. ABP isn't really that hard... and this was at a rate of 2 ABP per battle.

    Yes, before my characters reached level 20, one of them knew Dual Cast.

    Yeah, just the Final Area is the best place that I've found to get good ABP. Not sure of anywhere else.

    they only do that if you cast Holy, Flare, or Meteor on them. Stick to physical attacks.

    Just use whatever they translated !Flash to in the GBA version. It'll kill them fast.

    The Rift is the best place (The FInal Floors) because of the movers. If you play the GBA version, it's easy as hell.

    In the floor after Gilgamesh, quicksave, load and get into battle. Run from it. The next battle will be a Mover battle. beat them and get 199 AP. Quicksave again and do it all over. Piece of cake.
