At the end of the game, players can level-up, earn money, and earn SP at the same time in the mission Unusually Strong Monsters. Here you'll find the Three Stars and other enemies who are powerful, and have increased stats.

Kill an Enemy Without Taking Damage Mover Hunting Convert Materia Into SP

Kill an Enemy Without Taking Damage

If you can defeat an enemy without taking damage from it, the amount of SP rewarded for defeating that enemy is doubled, tripled, quadrupled, or multiplied by up to 9 times.

In battles against multiple enemies, focus first on the enemies with a smaller SP reward, and then leave the enemy with a large SP reward for last. That way you can focus better on avoiding damage, and maximize your SP gains.

Mover Hunting

Enemies called Movers reward a large amount of SP, so you can efficiently acquire SP by hunting Movers in Missions where Movers appear. Also, if you combine the above no damage bonus, SP acquisition will be even more efficient.

Additionally, Movers VIT and SPR are pretty high, so the recommended way of defeating them is via punch-type abilities such as Costly Punch which has the effect of ignoring both VIT and SPR.

Missions Where Movers Appear

Type and Acquired SP	Mission
Mover (SP:4000)	Treasure Info 2
Mover RE (SP:4000)	Aerial Monsters Subspecific Movers The Sealed Cavern In The Depths of The Caverns In The Closed Coal Mines In The Secret Facility Treasure Info 6

Convert Materia Into SP

Steal Flare from Mover EX

You can steal the Flare materia from the Mover EX. 10540 SP can be obtained through converting Flare to SP.

Be sure to equip a Mog's Amulet when trying to farm for SP via this method.

How to Get the Mog's Amulet

Buy Materia to Convert into SP

Purchase MBarrier, Poison, and Star Pendant to synthesize them into a Status Ward materia. Afterwards, convert the Status Ward into SP to earn 12,040 SP.

This entire process costs 8,000 Gil and 907 SP. Netting us a total of 11133 SP for every 8000 Gil spent.

Accessories that increase Item Drops
Jeweled Ring Recommended	Mog's Amulet

By having the Jeweled Ring equipped, the returns for any dropped items are doubled. Whenever high-cost items like Mythril Armlet drop, you can look forward to a significant increase to your total Gil along with your SP.

Recommended Stats

HP	99999 Or as high as possible
MP	0
AP	As high as possible
ATK	255 Or as high as possible
VIT	255 Or as high as possible
MAG	0
SPR	255 (If this stat is low, you will die from Ultima)
LUK	0

Basically, the closer your HP, ATK, and VIT are to the maximum, the better. SPR is needed for when Scissor Devil casts Ultima, so if you can defeat it before it casts Ultima, or avoid Ultima with Aerial Drain, you can leave this stat untouched.

What Does Each Stat Mean?

SP Explained: What is SP?

Spins the DMW

Every time the Digital Mind Wave (DMW) spins, it accumulates 10 SP. There is no way to stop the DMW reel from spinning. It will automatically consume SP when the DMW reel spins.

Points used in Materia Fusion

SP (or Soldier Points) is a currency used for boosting in Materia Fusion. Points will increase when the pattern is aligned in DMW or when the enemy is defeated.

Save SP for the Best Materia Fusion

Players should try to use SP only on the best Materia Fusion synthesis. Despite SP being easy to earn, spending SP on too many Materia Fusion can keep your SP lower.
