Overview
While playing the game you will generally notice a theme in the chapter formula regarding AP, it will usually look something like this:

  • 1. Lesson question, paper tests, or class event
  • 2. Quests around the campus ending with a final quest in the Old Schoolhouse.
  • 3. Quite often one more hidden quest on the campus.
  • 4. Practical Exam with bonus objectives for AP
  • 5. Field Study in a new region completing quests and usually a couple hidden ones

This monthly cycle is true for most of the game. Through this you can get a pretty good idea of what to watch out for with missing AP.

  • Always do the schoolhouse last as it usually progresses the story.
  • Be mindful of hidden quests, especially the usual one after the schoolhouse.
  • Make sure to nail those practical exam objectives.
  • On your field study don't walk into an event that pushes the story later unless you're absolutely ready. It's easy to miss out on things.
  • It's a Trails game, talk to EVERYONE as often as possible.

Just following those tips will probably net you a decent rank by the end. In general I recommend playing that way for a first playthrough unless something is really eating at you during a certain chapter. Following a guide for a game the first time you play it usually isn't very fun for most. For those obsessive ones though I make note of all AP related situations here and how to get it.

If there's any errors or problems, just let me know, it's been a while since I've played and this involved booting up PS3 saves.

Crow 5 Jun @ 8:33pm 
Can make a good ap guild of 3 and 4 like this the other ones is a little bit confusing
GuppyForce 19 May @ 8:33am 
More testing on the merchant sidequest. It seems like a point-based system.
- Customer 1: 35 mira > 30 mira > 25 mira (40/45 mira allow you to retry for free)
- Customer 2: 900 mira then 20% off >> 800 mira (900 mira then 30% mira is locked out of max AP)
- Customer 3: 6 for 60 mira > 5 for 60 mira > 4 for 56 mira (even numbered choices are locked out of max AP)
To get max AP, you can essentially make 2 points worth of mistakes. So you can still get max AP with the second best choices for Customers 1 and 3, or the 800 mira choice for Customer 2, as long as you pick the best options for the rest
GuppyForce 26 Dec, 2023 @ 6:56am 
The merchant sidequest actually has some leeway for the last option. You can choose any of the odd numbered options (the higher price for each quantity) and still receive full credit.
- Sell 4 for 56 mira
- Sell 5 for 60 mira
- Sell 6 for 60 mira

Hi Rumi. Thanks for the Guide. It's really good. I'm playing CS2, do you know of a guide as good and direct as yours as well?

Also, about the midterms. I talked to the twin girls in the cafeteria of the Student Union building and I got a hint about the test, then I got the bets mark possible. I didn't see it in your guide, though, and I saw some people asking about it.

I'm not sure if it's them or other people, but I'm positive there was some one on the ground floor of the student Union that gave me some tips for the exam.
Duskmare 5 Dec, 2020 @ 2:25pm 
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. I'd recommend sticking in a bracketed note at the end of each section just including the amount of guaranteed AP (or even just saying that "The remainder of the AP is guaranteed and so hasn't been listed here" or something). That way people won't get confused like I did because of it not adding up, haha.
Rumi  [author] 5 Dec, 2020 @ 9:39am 
@Duskmare
The guide only talks about AP that involve player actions. The rest is AP you get regardless. Since there's mandatory AP that isn't given at a clear point its added at the end of the chapter, randomly adding it places in the guide would be more confusing. So no you're not missing anything, or rather it can't be missed.
Duskmare 25 Nov, 2020 @ 6:40pm 
Am I missing something or does chapter 3's AP not add up? Says it should be 72 but adding the AP listed above only gets to 56.
MikaCN 28 Sep, 2020 @ 9:29am 
Even after 3 years, the author is still active here. What a legend.
And yes, I can't believe I was this stupid. Thank you for pointing out the obvious for me :steamfacepalm:
Rumi  [author] 27 Sep, 2020 @ 11:52am 
@MikaCN
My best guess is you missed the study activities, your rank should be 7th. Mentioned at the beginning of the Chapter 3 section "Even if you have the right answers, without studying, you won't get the AP". All the study interactions are listed before the answers. Just the answers alone won't count.
MikaCN 27 Sep, 2020 @ 6:46am 
Hey, I did as the guide told, but still ranked number 35th on the midterms. I just finished the practical exam and I have 138 AP. Have i badly missed something?
