The short answer
- 6,400,000 MRP for the 27 regular Aircraft Tree jets (node prices only).
- 8,900,000 MRP including FA-36 Game, EA-36 Barricader and X-40 Nightmare, which appear after Mission 30.
- Parts between aircraft cost more on top. The 58 parts in our data add up to 1,867,500 MRP, a figure with no recorded source. Treat 10,767,500 MRP as a rough upper marker, not a verified total.
Buying a route to one aircraft is far cheaper than buying everything. Use the MRP calculator for the cheapest route to a specific jet, or what your MRP can unlock.

How long to farm it all
Replaying Mission 16 at 70,880 MRP per run and 1.5 minutes of overhead, from 0 MRP. This is aircraft node prices only, so parts add to it.
| Goal | MRP | Runs | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| All regular Aircraft Tree jets | 6,400,000 | 91 | 7 h 8 min |
| Whole tree with post-campaign jets | 8,900,000 | 126 | 9 h 52 min |
A full campaign is reported at 3 to 4 million MRP, so even a first playthrough covers only part of it. See the farming ranking for faster options.
Total MRP FAQ
How much MRP do I need to unlock every aircraft in Ace Combat 8?
The 27 regular Aircraft Tree jets cost 6,400,000 MRP at node prices. With the 3 post-campaign jets it is 8,900,000 MRP. Upgrade parts are extra.
Do the parts cost extra?
Yes. The 58 upgrade parts in this site's data add up to 1,867,500 MRP, but no public guide we checked lists part prices, so that figure has no recorded source.
How much MRP does one campaign playthrough give?
Keengamer reports roughly 3 to 4 million MRP for a full run, depending on performance. That is well short of the whole tree, so most players farm.
