FINAL FANTASY XV - Best Idle Farming Method (EXP, AP, GIL)

• 1.5M EXP, 850 AP, 350k GIL per hour.
• EXP calculated with two Moogle Charms and no magic with EXP Boost.
• Almost idle method.
This may be not the best method for ONLY EXP, or ONLY AP, or ONLY GIL, but it's THE BEST OVERALL method: it is great for EXP, and additionally grants a nice amount of AP and GIL. Also, this method requires almost no attention at all, so you can farm while watching UA-cam or Netflix :)
DESCRIPTION
• Change the time of your console to 01/07/2019 (July 1 2019), start the game and load your save.
• DO NOT OPEN THE IN-GAME TIMED QUEST MENU! If you are online, it will sync your date and you will have to quit and reset the date again.
• You are going to do the timed quest with 100 Cactuars / Slactuars in the Three Valleys in Leide.
• Camp and eat Lasagna al Forno (not shown in the video).
• Equip Applied Sorcery on Noctis. If you don't have it, farm Magitek Boosters from Imperials to reduce MP cost to 0.
• Royal Raiment is a good attire, since it increases MP, but it's not mandatory. If you don't have it, equip something to increases attack.
• Equip Ragnarock on Noctis. It is included in the Booster Pack + which is free. This weapon is totally OP and almost always deals 9999 damage with warp attacks (be sure to have the Point-Blank Warp-Strike skill).
• Unequip Gladio / Ignis / Prompto secondary weapon, and equip them with a weak primary, such that only Noctis will kill enemies.
• If you have Key of Prosperity (from Royal Edition) equip it on someone.
• Start the quest and simply hold R1/RB and spam △/Y. This requires only one hand and no focus at all, so do whatever you want in the meanwhile.
• You will 1HKO enemies, getting 1 AP for warp kills, and thanks to Applied Sorcery Noctis will automatically use Ethers. Once in a while check his HP and heal him if necessary, and check that you didn't leave the battlefield (it happens to me at 7:30).
• The run in the video took 7 min and gave Noctis 186059 EXP (with two Moogle Charms) and 100 AP. This means that WITHOUT EXP BOOST MAGIC you will get 1.5M EXP in one hour.
• You will also gain TONS of item (I have Key of Prosperity, my Gladio Survival skill is at LV10 and I have all exploration abilities except Fittest Survival). Sell Remedies, Phoenix Downs, Hi-Elixir, Megalixir, and Mega-Potions for profit. You can get 40k per run, for a total of 350k per hour. Also, buy Ethers since Noctis needs them for Applied Sorcery.
NOTES
• If you don't care about AP, use magic and Gladio's Impulse. Equip Tech Turbocharger instead of Applied Sorcery and your Tech Bar will charge in no time when you get hit. You will end the quest in roughly 5 min, meaning that you will net 2.5M EXP and 500k GIL per hour.
• You can use this method early in the game (the earliest is Chapter 3), you don't need to be overleveled like I am in the video. Just kill some Cactuars using magic / Ragnarock and run away when you are afraid of dying.
• If you have items giving EXP Boost bonus (Rare Coin, Debased Coin / Banknote / Silverpiece, Lucian Carp Scales, ...) craft magics with them. To cast faster, equip the Kingly Raiment (No Jacket) attire. Craft Blizzard or Thunder (not Fire) because they hit more enemies at once.
• For AP only, the 50 Sabertusk / Flexitus timed quest (also in the Three Valleys, date 04/07/2019) is the fastest method. The procedure is the same but you will kill enemies with the Shield of the Just and have to equip Noctis with Field Medicine (to automatically heal him). One run takes around 1 min and 30 sec and gives you 50 AP (so 2000 AP per hour), but nothing else.
• For EXP only, running through the Steyliff Grove Menace Dungeon spamming warp attacks and Alterna is probably better. Enemies there give tons of EXP (especially Ronin and Tonberry), and if you can craft magic with EXP Boost bonus you can get 3M+ EXP per run. However, this method requires you to stay focused and to be at a decent level.
• All Menace Dungeons are good to get EXP Boost items (like Rare and Debased Coin). So, if you haven't any of these items left, I suggest to complete some of these dungeons first. Alternatively, you can farm Lucian Carp Scales by fishing.
• Other decent alternatives are farming MA-X Angelus-0 and the Dread Behemoth + Tyraneant timed quest. For the Angelus, you have to first encounter it and then use the save/load trick to respawn it ( • FFXV: Comprehensive gu... ). For the Behemoth, you have to learn to kill it quickly ( • 3rd Timed Quests: -Fas... ). However, compared to the Cactuar / Slactuar quest, these methods require full attention and don't give AP (you could use the QP gained from the Dread Behemoth to buy 300 AP, but you would have to reset the date every time).
• Earlier methods that you will find online, i.e., farming Wyvern or Adamantoise, are way worse. The Adamantoise may be decent, but it relies too much on luck (Alterna failed 30 times in a row to me) and starting / completing the hunt takes too much time.

If u need hunt gil and exp, go to saphyretail time quest.
If u want fun, go to dread behemoth each 10th date Per month

[@coccobello9697]

For EXP the Cactuar timed quest is better. GIL are usually not a problem anyway, anything works for that.
AP is the most time consuming among EXP/GIL/AP to farm, so this quest is better, and the Saphyrtail require to pay attention to what's happening (here you just spam warps and are good).
Dread Behemoth is fun, but takes too much time.

[@risingtidez4386]

I know I’m really late to responding to this video but is it possible for a level 15 to take on those 100 cactaurs early in the game or what would you recommend me to farm xp at my level

[@nakedmidgetmauluser7684]

Chris K if your at chapter 3 then farm the rare coins and make expricast

[@risingtidez4386]

John Matthews thank you I’ll do that

[@josequiles7]

So, I'd have to do this offline for it to work or just not opening the timed event window while online does the trick?

[@coccobello9697]

Just not opening the menu is enough.
(Sorry for the late reply, you probably are already done with the game :D Hope my answer will be useful for others)

[@notapprovedtrash1]

No the timed events are sometimes différent like the scorpions one at duscae the op king behemoth at caem and the op boys at leide

[@gamerheart6876]

If for example, you're done and want to do it again,
Change the date to another day then open ffxv then close then change the date to july 1 2019 again?

[@coccobello9697]

Yes. Just be sure you are not connected to the internet, or the date will be automatically set to the current day.

[@XerxesHeika]

My party and I keep getting close call deaths

[@hinokami796]

How to I get rid of all my little shits "teammates" that make farming harder and more annoying

[@3LD35T]

Does this actually work or am I being goofed

[@coccobello9697]

It works, as long as you follow what is written in the description.

[@iAmTheBlueGuy]

Is this event quest repeatable?

[@coccobello9697]

Yes but you have to change you PS date and not open the in-game quest menu, or it will synch it and another quest will be available. It's in the description.

[@iAmTheBlueGuy]

@@coccobello9697 you are the best person in whole universe, 5mil exp, 3mil Gil, and almost maxing my whole skills. Thank you man I’ve subscribed you’re channel you saved my life time from weeks of play to hours thank you so much

[@rakayindra]

Can you do this in chapter 1?

[@coccobello9697]

No, this timed quest becomes available in Chapter 3.

[@nakedmidgetmauluser7684]

coccobello yea but to do this effectively you need that specific blade
