Discuss new relic upgrade

Are you serious? Some guys already on last Mile for this?!

I'd say the images are a good photoshop troll or a leak from devs ;)

However, spamming levi ex seems nice up to now for me

Garuda HM is much faster =o

The author admitted he missed out "bright light". Bright right below brilliant in ranking.

You should generally get what is the usual light for the content you participated, although for some reasons, which people are speculating either a low % RNG or diminishing returns will yield you a lower light. And there is a low % chance to get newborn star in ST compared to the usual "blinding"

Nope. The images are extracted via data mining.

Ah ok they parsed the .dat files from the FFIV folder, alright ^^ Then it sounds serious.

Damn it why does mine have to be the most lack luster of them all. Everyone gets crazy shines and circular things around them and my thyrus will look like a slightly brighter version of zenith..

The step isn't terrible I guess. It just saying play anything really and the weapon will upgrade. The thing I don't like is not being able to see a progress bar. People already found out you need 2000 points, give me a bar tell me x/2000, I want to see it.

I've got a theory on the "newborn star" and all the other seemingly random upgrades - I checked some of the Reddit posts, and the people who said they got the "newborn star" notification posted 19 hours ago. I jumped into ST twice just now, and both times I've gotten "newborn star" notifications.

What I'm thinking is that for every X hours - possibly dependent on the instance or activity - the activity will gain a boost for one hour, giving everyone a step up from the usual for that hour (blinding to newborn star for ST, for instance). It would tie in well with the somewhat vague quote posted on the patch notes:

A weapon’s soul attunement level will rise by a set amount determined by the activity being performed. This amount, however, may increase each time a certain period of time passes.

Perhaps if we can track this pattern, and have people record whenever they see an "upgrade" to the amount of light, we might be able to determine when these windows pop up.

If its set on a 24 hr timer (daily reset) then this is what to do.
1: do ST first thing, should get a newborn.
2: Do Ex dungeons should get blinding for awile.
3: It will drop to brilliant then to bright the more you collect.
4: eyes bleeding, take a rest til next reset, hopefuly daily.
Ive run every dungeon today, they all where giving blinding even sastasha. But after awile it started giving brilliant. So i tried some other dungeons and they all where giving brilliant, even did another ST.
So from what i can gather the more you do the less you get. Doesnt matter what dungeons you do after your first dungeon of the day.

It looks like Thyrus will leave a trail of small particles when you move (like Novus).

I wish I could trade the SMN book with SCH, it looks way cooler and has no weird antenna.
