I think server time is different for everybody since there is servers in NA, EU, JP + Data center, so i'm not sure the spreadsheet for HM Light buff windows with server time is really that usefull. Plus there is speculation out there that it is not a set HM cycle but a random one, so the 2 hour window seems consistent BUT which HM primal gets the light buff may be random and we have to find it everytime...

Confirmed ! Server time - 1:05 pm,Ifrit HM,got bright.bonus window should last til 1:59 pm,gonna keep doing.

Got Gentle now from Ifrit HM. Seems bonus went to another encounter

Only relic thing I did last night was expert roulette blinding light and hard roulette bright light.

It's Moogle king HM bonus now

It seems to consensus is if you can preforma group 1 tank 1/2 heals and full dps you can do 1 cape westwind in about 1 minute thats loading in and out of nf the instance. Compared to all other dungeons even with the bonus lights, it is the most efficient farm method at the moment found. 60 points / hour ... 5 hours a day = 300 points you would get it done pretty fast. depending on your and groups ability to grind and how fast you really want it ... the next patch isn't for a while but for those who are after efficiency you should be pulling 1 point per minute. garuda 4 minute run on brights still only fetching you 4 points 1 point/minute so most are sticking to cape westwind pre-mades atm.

Blinding Light in Frontlines at least since 6pm server time (normally been Brilliant Light).

I wonder if anyone has thought to check Labyrinth of the Ancients >_>

Garuda HM when it gives bright, 4 points, is the best. It shouldn't take 4 mins. I farmed it yesterday for 2 hours and each kill was about 2 mins 30 secs.

Moogle king bonus now
7.30 server time

Did some testing of my own last night.

All HM primals, Mog included, give gentle unless the cycle is on them. (I got bright for my first Ifrit HM run, then gentle when I went back a while later.) Trial roulette may or may not boost this or even have its own set reward, I'll edit when I get home and can test it out.

Cape Westwind, Hydra, and (sadly) Gilgamesh all give feeble unless cycle on them.

Running Speedflox from high level roulette rewarded brilliant. Unsure if this is a rotation bonus, a roulette bonus, or something else.

Binding Coil (turns 1-4) reward bright but appear to have their own bonus rotation; my friends on Excalibur were testing and got at least one brilliant on Turn 1.

Any FATE appears to reward feeble light regardless of level; cleared level 13 fate "Bubble Trouble" in WT and received feeble light.

Edit: Roulette doesn't seem to provide bonuses; I did trials roulette, got Mog HM, received gentle light. Possibly gives bonuses but only on -dungeon- roulettes? More testing needed...

During dead hour last night just right after maintenance, me and my bud spammed Garuda HM till the buff ran out. It was kinda hilarious when new people join and we just start ASAP and they're all like, Woah Wtf where's the fire? What is going on? What have I got myself into?
Lol
But yeah I guess from now on during dead hour I'll just DF HM primals to figure out which one has the buff... it's something to do besides twiddling thumbs in MD, looking for stuff to do.

I did T5 yesterday too but I do not remember what it gave me. I believe a brilliant...? Idk if anyone can confirm this but I would like to grind T5 for a lil bit because I still have yet to have a few weapons. 2 birds 1 stone.

What about Ramuh Ex? Didn't clear yet but for those that did, what did it give?

Labyrinth of the Ancients rewarded Brilliant light @ 4:18 CST

Mog HM Bright 10:30 PM Tonberry server

This looks so much more fun than novus. Can't wait to start!

Thanks for posting all this info ^^

Yes, grinding the same encounter over and over and over and over and over and over again is so much fun.
/sarcasm
It's literally the myth grind section of Animus all over again except this time you can do more than Brayflox.

Your opinion... you don't even need yo "grind" this, u could just play the game as you normally would, especially once 2.4 hits.

Has anyone tested wolves den 4 vs 4 ?? just to see if it gives lights at all and if it does 30,40 or 50 rank... which ones if any?? could possibly be faster then cape westwind if you made pre made parties for it... let me know if someone tests this thanks.

Just got feeble from low level roulette garuda normal mode.

titan HM is no longer bright

Does the bonus vary across servers? I just got my novus tonight, decided to queue up for some trial roulettes. Got levi HM 4 times. I got gentle on all 4 runs. First and 2nd runs I didn't think anything of it. 3rd run, noticed some of the same players. I asked if Levi has the nexus bonus right now, they said yes. However, I kept getting gentle.

First 3 runs were in trial roulette. I queued directly for levi HM for the 4th run, got gentle on that run as well.

Not sure why I wasn't getting the bonus light.

Funny, I wasn't getting these "bonus lights" from primal fights either. Over the course of an hour, I fought all the hard mode primals and only received gentle lights as well. So, I just went and farmed some quick, low level fates for feeble lights :3

Just get my nexus yesterday. I did mainly Garuda HM once light bonus is up. If you have good group it is around 80 lights / hour. If there is not any good primal i just did Frontlines for fun. Second coil is pretty good too since you get 48 lights from all 4 bosses and each bosses take around 10min if no wipe. Expert roulette and bonus alexandrite map is pretty good too since each of your party member map is 2 lights.

Garuda bonus HM has ended

Coils turn 4 is now bright

This may be a little off topic but in regards to our novus to nexus stats upgrade do only the low numbers stay the same? and the higher stats get one or 2 point increase? because if so that is messed up, All secondary stats we put on should get at least a one point increase.

Garuda is Bright

When I first upgraded my nexus, I had 3 stats on it, Crit, Det and Piety. Upon upgrading, I noticed that my Crit and Det stats were upgraded but my Pie stat remained the same.

Garuda HM is no longer Bright
