  • Ability Points (AP)
  • 1,000 Gil
  • Bronze Bangle
Tips
  • Ability Points (AP) can be used in the Ascension menu to buy new techniques and abilities for Noctis and his friends.
  • With the 1,000 Gil you receive, you can visit Culless Munitions to purchase new weapons. Available weapons include the Broadsword (150 Gil), Two-handed Sword War Sword (50 Gil), Daggers Avengers (50 Gil), and Handgun Cocytus (50 Gil).
  • The Mini-Mart sells consumables like Potions (50 Gil) and Hi-Potions (100 Gil), ingredients for cooking, and accessories for the Regalia.
  • At the diner, you can:
  • Talk to an NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) for tips on local points of interest like havens and Parking Spots.
  • Eat to purchase meals that grant buffs and potentially inspire Ignis to learn new recipes, like the “Burly Bean Bowl”.
  • Hunt to accept quests to eradicate monsters, which increase your Hunter's Rank and unlock tougher hunts.
