Fastest way to farm light for anima?

Thing about A1S is queues might not be as fast anymore. When light farming first came out, queues were pretty quick. Now I'm doing it again and it was like 15-20 minutes queue for A1S.

our Datacenter pretty much always has a1s light farming parties in PF.........if theres none, make one,it will most likely fill up.

It's the fastest way of getting light, with each run giving a minimal of Robust light each run (higher if on bonus), and usually takes about 5-8 minutes from start to finish with competent DPS.

2 min 40 sec about for the fight, maybe 3-4 mins if you include re-queuing, entering, etc.

tell people take CS off or get better? >.>

No, it's like Nexus and Zodiac lights. weapon must be equipped at duty end.

A1S average 3-4 min a run including re-queues when I did my War axe. PF is the way to go, and just wait til bonus windows for fastest results.

I've been in groups with multiple healers/tanks and we almost always did it under 5 minutes, unless a wipe from too much DPS on the boss and the second having more than 11%. One minute for faust, and a couple on the twinbosses

Maybe less time if people actually bothered to turn off 'previously viewed cutscenes'

I'm not sure if this is a thing of japanese servers, but A10S has been the way to go for me, is a quick fight, there I've hardly ever got a wiping group there and the reward is hardened by default

You need to have the weapon equipped, otherwise no light. Also, it will be the quickest with a PF group. At least on my server, they are going all the time. Sometimes you get some bonus light, this is random and the bonus sticks for a couple of hours. So keep an eye out on the tracker to spam it when it gives more. I am on that stage too, but don't have nearly enough time to properly grind it. My boyfriend did it in a day. Good luck! : 3

A1S has been the go to farm method as mentioned, but with 15% echo now, A9 and A10 Savage are both relatively painless fights that can speed up the process substantially. Keep an eye on this reddit page for when to hop into things: https://www.reddit.com/live/yaa1fmwibvkl
