FP stands for Focus Points is a stat and is used to cast magic and perform Skills in Dark Souls 3. It is the blue bar and stat on the player character's HUD and stat screen respectively. FP is not self regenerating so, in order to refill some of the FP bar, the player must consume an Ashen Estus Flask. FP can only be increased by investing points into Attunement via Fire Keeper.

Where does the game say what FP stands for? I can't find it anywhere.

You get so many ways to regain health without Estus, but not the same for FP.
At least give us a ring similar to the Sun Princess Ring or Pontiff Rings.
Maybe the Idea was that players wouldn't worry to much on health with all the possible health regens. But even then, the Pontiff rings don't really work like that, and so much faster to use Estus to heal than Miracles or Blessed infusions.

there is no excuse for no mana regen over time
literally
pvp?
play pvp in ESO and you will see how its done
hell there are even spells that cost STAMINA instead of FP
everything is good if done correctly

My core problem with FP in 3, is due to how its set up (and im meaning everything, that includes estus allotment) faith builds are honestly the easiest way to play though three. Early on you can allot more ashen estus than regular because you have access to healing magic. That's my core problem with it. Sorcery can get good damage if you stack a **** ton of buffs, but my problem is as someone who has a high int character and has played through the game with them multiple times. You have to use almost every buff to keep your character in a state they can actually be viable in 3 due to how you still need a way to heal yourself in case you get hit. Meanwhile, faith builds can honestly dump most of their estus into FP if they want, seeing as they only really need to use estus in emergencies. Faith also gets damage usually better than magic builds and can even surpass them.
That's really the core problem with FP. It also leads the problem of a lot more niche spells being ****ing bad just because they aren't as good as the alternatives, the soul sword family of spells for instance are cool, and great for hybrid casters, but also, your just wasting FP by using them since you aren't casting higher damaging spells. Same with miracles, emit force is basically worthless now since it uses only 3 FP less than lightning spear, but does way WAY less damage, and said 3FP can be gotten back easily though the critical rings, or a simple weapon (which are both really bad FP recovery items, only good if your using it for weapon skills, which is another thing to mention. Weapon skills are unviable in 3 on magic builds because they use up FP outside of specific one.)

I personally don't like the FP system they have. Like, I'd prefer if FP was Regened Via hitting the enemy with a Melee attack or something instead of needing to get rid of Estus or have it always Regen very slowly and you'd need the needed amount to cast something. IDK, the Ashen Eatus Flasks only really annoyed me in Magic Runs instead of making it feel strategic

Is there a weapon you can infuse in dark souls 3 that does more fp regen than 1 ?
Or is there no other way to regen fp faster?
Becease i have 2 simple gem weapons but there fp isn't high so i was wondering if there was a weapon that could regen it faster if infused with a simple gem

FP is to mages what stamina is to physical builds, so why does FP not regenerate when stamina does?

A fully upgraded flask is enough to fully restore a 26 Attunement FP bar.

The fight that spell casters have is not actually fighting enemies, but figuring out how many Estus and Ashen to allot.

Why isn't there even a link to the Attunement page here? Also worth mentioning the rings that reduce costs for magic/wa.

Call me old fashioned but I just say the blue bar is my remaining Fart Power. The blue soy milk is how you get it back.

Magic in Dark Souls 3 sucks a**, very limited usage and not much damage. Out of 103+ something spells, I think only 20 of them are useful, and rest of them are trash. They should've used ember like magic so we could summon characters without losing our embers, and also there is limited amount of ember in the game which makes it more frustrating. Oh Lord, this game has too much faults I could go on and on, the camera angle, the dodging technique, and physical defense are all*****.

OK, *who* calls them "Fig Pops"??? Certainly Google turns up nothing.

The way Ashen Estus Flasks work is stupid. Shouldn't they be separate from regular Estus instead of sacrificing your precious Estus Flasks. I feel that you should be able to find Ashen Estus Shards scattered throughout the world (albeit a lot less compared to Estus Shards) in order to upgrade up to a maximum of 5 Ashen Estus Flasks. The only person who wouldn't benefit is a pure Mage who needs all the FP they can get and alloting Estus wouldn't be possible. Unfortunately this is the ideally perfect scenario and probably won't happen, hopefully we get some FP restoring and increasing items in the DLC.

Since the page for them doesn't seem to have anything on it, I'll ask my questions here; how do I get more slots? I have about 30 attunement, and only have 4 (5 including the deep ring) Is this the max amount?

It appears as if you can use some Weapon Arts without the necessary FP, but what does come out will usually lose its unique effect. For example, the roaring buff without FP doesn't seem to apply the bonus damage at all (only the initial stagger and an inferior version of the modified R2 on clubs), Quickstep still quick steps but looks to have fewer iframes, Perseverance (instant infinite poise for a moment, found on caesti and maces) loses the damage resistance and might even make you take MORE damage than if you hadn't used the ability, maybe counter damage. Spells just plain don't work without FP, though, and the catalyst buffs mostly seem to just stick you in a long animation as punishment for trying, like when trying to chug empty Estus.

I noticed when my Focus Points are empty , I can still perfom weapon arts like buffing with Axe , stepping with Dagger and Attacking with greatsword etc. It only uses stamina. So I guess Focus Point are obsolete? Or is this supposed to be like this and the is a negative side when performing weapon arts with FP?

I think it should go up slowly overtime, and not make us use an ashen estus flask to refill it.
"FP is commonly refered to as Fancy Points by the community or "Fig Pops"" Why do you feel the need to include trash like that?
