Talk3this wiki
Ability Up (アビリティアップ, Abiriti Appu?), also known as JP Boost (取得ＪｐＵＰ, Shutoku Jp UP?), Double AP, ABP Up or Rolling in CP, is a recurring ability in the series which doubles, or in the case of Triple AP, triples the amount of Ability Points earned from battles. The ability did not appear until Final Fantasy VII, and is a rather rare ability at that.

Final Fantasy VEdit
ABP Up is an ability learned from the Oracle class (only in the GBA version). It is the Level 3 ability and takes 150 ABP to master. It allows the character who equipped this ability to gain 1.5x the amount of ABP after battle. The effect doesn't stack when selected multiple times on the mimic class.
Final Fantasy VIIEdit
Both Double AP and Triple AP make their series debut in Final Fantasy VII, and only on equipment. Double AP can be found on the weapons Force Stealer, Rune Blade, W Machine Gun, Drill Arm, Powersoul, Motor Drive, Platinum Fist, Wizard Staff, Wizer Staff, Plus Barette, Magic Comb, Twin Viper, Wind Slash, Rising Sun, Peacemaker, Buntline, Black M-Phone, White M-Phone, Javelin, Viper Halberd, and in the armors Platinum Bangle, and Rune Armlet. Triple AP is only found on Scimitar and Apocalypse. Any Materia linked to double or triple growth equipment gains the effect.

Ability Up is an ability all characters can learn which doubles the amount of AP they earn after battles. The ability can be learned from Stardust Rod, Green Beret, Diamond Gloves, Brigandine, Silk Robe, Diamond Armor, Cachusha, Lapis Lazuli, and Ribbon. The AP required to learn the skill varies between characters and it takes 3 Magic Stones to equip.
Final Fantasy XEdit
Double AP is an auto ability. If equipped to a player's weapon, they will receive double the AP they would usually receive from a battle. Double AP can be customized onto weapons with 20 Megalixirs. A similar ability, the Triple AP auto ability, will give the player triple the AP they would usually receive from a battle. It can be customized onto weapons with 50 Wings to Discovery. Having both Double AP and Triple AP on the same weapon will only triple the AP, they will not stack.
Another method of obtaining more AP is to have a weapon with the Overdrive → AP auto ability. Instead of the Overdrive gauge being filled when the criteria set by the character's Overdrive Mode is met, the player will gain AP. This can be doubled by also having Double AP, SOS Overdrive (providing the player is in the Critical status) or Double Overdrive.
It can be tripled by having Triple AP or Triple Overdrive. It can be multiplied by six by having both Double AP and Triple Overdrive, Double Overdrive and Triple AP, or SOS Overdrive and Triple AP (providing the player is in the Critical status). It can be multiplied by nine by having both Triple AP and Triple Overdrive.
Overdrive → AP can be customized to a weapon with ten Door to Tomorrow items.
