==Early AP Farming Method==
In west of [[Hammerhead]], there are 2 areas that are good areas farm below and above where it says three valleys. Right below the "V" in valley is a camp site. This will be the area you will be resting at. To the little valley behind the camp site is filled with [[Sabretusk]]s that can be easily killed with [[warp strike]]s. If you enter [[stasis mode]] just warp to a vantage point then go back in for the kills. Northwest of this camp site is another area that has sabretusks to kill. All these enemies are level 2 so they're very easy to kill. As you get the necessary AP to unlock the damage boosts to warp strikes get them asap to help to darm faster
==Early 50% EXP food (Chapter 3)==
Be sure to have the [[Thunderbolt]] and [[Hardedge]] equipped on [[Noctis]]. East of [[Causcherry]] plains are three craters. In one of the craters there is a couple of [[enemies]] called [[Bulette]]s. [[Warp strike]] them with the Hardedge then attack them normally until you receive a [[Shield Spike]]. Then finish them off with Thunderbolt. Repeat this method for all of the enemies. Each piece sells for 1200 [[gil]] or can be used as a [[Spell Catalyst]].
==Save All The Treasures You Find==
Save all the debased [[treasures]] you find. The most common being [[Debased Coin]]. If you combine all three [[magic]] types and use multiple coins as a [[catalyst]] you create a very powerful leveling spell called [[Expericast]]. Use them on powerful enemies like the [[Iron Giants]] at night time. You gain a ton of EXP if you have the moogle item and the boost from the chocobo quest. I suggest waiting until you have access to the 3x EXP [[hotel]] so you can gain a massive amount of EXP.
 
==AP Farming a Bit Further into the Game==
For AP farming a bit further in the game you can wait until you get the [[Monster Whistle]]. Go the [[Sabretusk]] area i mentioned earlier and blow the whistle. A couple of low level enemies pop up. Warp strike kill them all and if you need [[MP]] just refill with a [[teleport]]. If you time the whistle right you can call in the next group of baddies just as the last enemy falls. You get an insane amount of AP quicker than any other way.
 
==Good Recipes for Grinding and Questing==
2 good recipes you can pick up while in [[Lestallum]] can help immensely with grinding and [[quests]]. Go to the lookout area facing the [[Meteor]]. There will be a woman eating at a table. Get close and [[Ignis]] learns the recipe called [[Mother & Child Rice Bowl]] which increases [[HP]] by 1,000, [[EXP]] by 30% and Increases enemy item drop rate by 50%. One of the food vendors near the road sells a dish called [[Seasoned Midgardsormr]] Which increases damage dealt based on the level difference between the party and enemies, Increases [[Attack]] by 350 and Increases max [[HP]] by 1,000.
