If this is correct i assume its something like 1500/500 or so.

6 DPS and over 38 runs the average came out to 1m35s including queue times, entering, leaving, waiting for everyone to load etc. etc. Thats 38 light in just over 1 hour. No physical kills took more than 1m. You are grossly underestimating the down time.
It still seems like the most consistently simple way to farm light, if not actually the most efficient. I'd like to see some actual run numbers for an hour of Garuda HM to compare, but it seems like finding the "bright" rotation will be the best option.
Hi Snake,
Thanks for the thread and spreadsheet! :) Here are my findings so far (these times were based on Kill (sorry I saw your thread after I wrote down the times) - but considering each Primal kill took us only about ~3 minutes you can back time it if it helps).
Content: Garuda HM
Light Received: Gentle Light
Time: 4:35 a.m. Server Time
Content: Ifrit HM
Light Received: Bright Light
Time: 4:43 a.m. Server Time
* Did another 3 x Ifrit HM immediately after (all 3 - 4 min kills): All Bright Lights. Then...
Content: Ifrit HM
Light Received: Gentle Light
Time: 5:07 a.m. Server Time
Then immediately...
Content: Garuda HM
Light Received: Gentle Light
Time: 5:18 a.m. Server Time
So maybe it's just random?
Standing by for Light change in 10 minutes.
Previous 2 hours were Leviathan HM and EX (23:00-01:00 server time/BST EU)
Be ready!
Sorry slightly off topic, but has anyone been able to confirm if changing your materia melds resets or retains your light progress? Thank you!
