Camera Angle when AP Farming

Requirement and Location: Shield of the Just and The Three Valleys

1. Equip SOJ and go to location and warp strike the mobs that are spawned when first arriving.
2. Stand within the grassy area provided in the POV/Camera Angle images, you do not have to face the same way, I've just found it works best facing the camera that way for me.
3. Summon Monsters, in this spot they should spawn almost on top of you the majority of the time.
4. As soon as the MOBs are dead and the ANIMATION for the Shield is almost complete (NOTE: Noct does not have to stand up all the way) summon more monsters.
5. Repeat between 0600-2000 ( I usually stop the moment Iron Giant spawns).

Tips and Tricks:

• Instead of waiting for night to pass, camp, what food they eat shouldn't matter.
• Use elixirs to be quicker, otherwise only use Point warps when necessary(i.e. Stasis)
• If you engage in battle, wait a few seconds after the battle is over - sometimes Noctis will do an animation and if you whistle before the animation is done more than likely you will end up in battle again
• ALSO as I stated above - summon as quickly as possible once the Mobs are dead - I base it off the following: once the Shield animation is at a 45 degree angle after warp you should be able to re-summon
• If you are doing this fast enough you should not start battle - avoid battle at all costs
• If mobs don't spawn for some reason, and I mean no mobs no matter where you whistle, save and reload
• Tilt the joystick forward when you blow the whistle, it stops the animation faster, allows you to warp-strike earlier and thus enter battle less often
• Use whistle while looking away from the mob spawn area.
• Stay a bit away from the spawn area if you still can't kill them in one shot from close by
• You can also watch the whistle animation, as soon as Noct's hands goes down after using the whistle plus half a second use the warp strike buttons without turning yourself and you will strike right on.
• Even if the screen shows that you only got 1 AP but you kill 4 mobs, you will get 4 AP.
• Sell your loot once it's hits 99. You gain around 8000k gill for them or use it for spells
• if you do get spotted by an enemy and enter "battle," activate your Armiger when the last enemy dies. If you have the Ascension skill for it, you'll get an extra AP to make up for having to sit through the victory animation.
• If you have MP issues, use the Infinite MP regen trick.
