In Ace Combat 8, first check which mode you mean: Campaign MRP and ACE COMBAT ONLINE progression are separate, and online rewards have not been shown to speed up Campaign earnings. For Campaign, spend MRP on aircraft, weapons, and upgrades that help with the missions you are tackling; no official source reviewed publishes a best mission, difficulty, or repeatable MRP farming route.
Campaign MRP and online rewards are separate
Campaign MRP is used to unlock jets, weapons, and upgrades. Bandai Namco’s FAQ describes ACE COMBAT ONLINE as “a multiplayer-only game mode featuring its own progression and save data separate from Campaign Mode.” Read the official FAQ before treating an online reward as Campaign currency: the reviewed material does not say that buying an online pass raises Campaign MRP earnings.

Online missions advance ACE PASS XP. The Season 1 Premium track can include additional credits, blueprints, and supply tickets, but these are online progression rewards, not a verified Campaign MRP accelerator. The official announcement says those items can be used for item packs and aircraft upgrades available through in-game play. See Bandai Namco’s Season 1 announcement.
How to approach Campaign spending
Because MRP unlocks multiple kinds of equipment, each purchase competes with other possible unlocks. Prioritize based on what would help in your next missions rather than following a universal purchase order: the available evidence does not establish one. A recent review also notes that spending on teammates’ jets can compete with spending on your own upgrades. See the review’s Campaign discussion.

Online scoring: build Threat Level carefully in Co-Op Warfare
Co-Op Warfare is a two-team match involving NPC land, sea, and air units. Scoring and destroying targets raises your Threat Level; each rise increases the points awarded for defeating enemies. The risk is that opponents also receive more points if they shoot down a high-threat player. Bandai Namco’s Co-Op Warfare guidance describes match scoring, not a Campaign credits-per-hour strategy.
Co-Op Assault has a different objective: two teams of four compete in player-versus-enemy scoring. In Co-Op Warfare, teams of four compete while fighting NPC units, with Threat Level adding both scoring opportunity and takedown risk. Bandai Namco’s online-mode overview.

What is known—and not known—about a Campaign grind route
The official material reviewed does not include mission-by-mission Campaign payouts or compare missions and difficulty settings for MRP efficiency. It therefore does not support naming a best level, repeatable farming route, or reliable credits-per-hour figure. Player anecdotes may suggest routes to try, but do not establish consistent results across players or difficulty settings.
Online pass details are not a Campaign earning method
Bandai Namco Entertainment America stated that an ACE PASS season lasts two months; that duration is season-specific and may change. The same company described the Air Base lobby as supporting 100 players. These figures concern online features, not Campaign payout efficiency. Official ACE PASS details · Official Air Base details.
