How to gain extreme AP boost -tutorial needed

Situation: beginning of new 30day campaign. You're playing active for few first hours with boss bonus up, take a look at Alliance board - you're (let's say) third with score 250K AP. Second player has some over 260K, leader close to 300K. The rest of TOP 10 have between 180 and 245K AP. Your Alliance is third atm, slightly losing 70 points to second and 200 to leading, which has emperorship from previous month left.

Nothing wrong so far? ;)

You're interesting to compare personal scores with other alliances, so you take a look there. Most of players have similar scores, between 200 and 350K AP. Except Emperor, close to 900K and 2 leaders of second Alliance: 1.1M AP and 850K.

How it is possible? They were played the same 3 hours
Can someone explain?

    Most people have similar scores because:
    1. Most people don't get the 20% AP buff received from killing a delve boss, as it can be taxing or troublesome.
    2. Most people are in the same hot areas and are rewarded the same AP: keep captures, keep defenses, or attacking the same player and splitting the awarded AP.

    It is very simple to get a few hundred thousand AP ahead of people though:
    1. Get the 20% AP buff
    2. Take very little breaks
    3. Repair walls (looked down on by some people)
    4. Kill other players (3 unassisted player kills awards AP congruent to a single keep capture, if players don't have an AP penalty, in a much shorter amount of time)
    5. You can also get a quick head start by saving your complete kill quest/capture keep/resource quests and turning them in when the campaign resets.

    The AP buff is the big hitter. If 3 players were grouped and collectively made 500k AP, but one player consistently had the AP buff, that player would have 600k AP instead. There's lots of different ways to make a boat load of AP, but they mainly depend on class (stealth bombers) and circumstance (solo keep defense AP awards).

    A reasonable amount of AP when playing in a group of 4 is 120k / hour if you're not trying hard. Use that as a base number for comparison.

    With sarcasm...farm your friends at a resource. Seen it happen. Player is 200K ahead of everyone who have like 50K.

    Legit way...get your delve buff, take advantage of low pop.

    This is how they do it. That and d-ticks at keeps from similar. Repairing walls. Just, no.
