Leveling up Materia in FF7 Rebirth can be a daunting task, especially since the game now has several semi-open world areas. Here’s how you can level up your materias fast in FF7 Rebirth.
Fast Materia leveling guide in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Since Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has very expansive semi-open world areas, you may be thinking that running into enemies in the wild is the best place to farm for AP. Well, it’s very inefficient since you have to spend your precious items like Cushions and Potions. Also, enemies are very spaced out from each other in each region, unlike in Remake.
That said, here are the most efficient solutions I found.
Best Area and Difficulty setting for materia leveling
First Conclusion: Use Chadley’s Combat Simulator and set your game difficulty to Easy Mode!
For the mostefficient Materia leveling,Chadley’s Combat Simulatoris the key since you’ll alwaysrecover healthafter every round, and you can’t use items either way. On top of that, there arehordes of enemiesper round, which you can freely farm forever.
Since Final Fantasy 7 Remake does not punish you forlowering your difficulty. This means you’ll still get thesame EXP and APregardless of your in-game difficulty. Nevertheless, I still checked if this mechanic still applies to FF7 Rebirth, and luckily, it still does!

Second Conclusion: Grasslands Region Intel Level 1 is the best challenge for Materia Leveling!
Let’s take a look at some of the options you have on the Combat Simulator. The most enemies within a single challenge lie within theRegion Intel missions.
For the early game, I took a look at bothGrasslands Region IntelandJunon Region Intel. I also computed theaverage time(from five different runs) to clear the entire challenge. I’m mainly using theLightning Punch Tifa Buildfor the run so I can clear the enemies as fast as possible.
Average time (Without Loading Screen):38 seconds per run
AP Up Total =60 AP per run
Average time (Without Loading Screen):78 seconds per run
With this data, I’m able to compute thetotal average time including loading screens. There are five loading screens, each with roughly10-15 secondsof wait time (averaged to about12.5 seconds).
I will use thismethodologyto find the best farming spot for themid to late gameas well, without all the crazy numbers included. So stay tuned as I update this article in the following days to find the most efficient and fastest materia leveling location as much as possible!
