Right now I'm assuming its on a point system. Like gentle glow gives 2 points, brilliant gives 5 (obviously, numbers are just examples) and that once our total points equal a certain about the zodiac glass' message will change and eventually we'll collect enough total points to upgrade to the nexus weapon.

Blew through a Ifrit HM from Trial, got Gentle glow. He only jump twice so was pretty fast.
Also blasted through a ST in less than 30 min and got Newborn star.

Seems kinda random looking at the other posts, but there probably is a system to it.
Might be diminishing returns to keep people from rerunning same content too much and slow the pace a little.

Harder Content seems to give brighter glows. I did Tam-tara (HM) and got Brilliant.

The only real question I have is do you have to do all content to satisfy the conditions because I am not in any static and I doubt I will be in one anytime soon.

Expert Roulette (Stone vigil hard) - Brilliant
Hydra & Chimera - Feeble (both had new people)
Ifrit HM - Gentle
Titan HM - Gentle
CT - Blinding light (Joined in progress at atomos, 50~ minute run with lots of new people)

Might as well add as well that I killed over 10 A ranks (full credit on all of them) and got no glow from any of them.

Anyone get a confirmation on how exactly the stat re-allocation stuff works? I want to try it but I'm scared it'll reset all my Nexus progress.

Doubt it. If it wanted specific things there would be a way to keep track of it like the Animus books. Most of the relic steps so far is just reusing content.

This new step just looks like a point system with each level of light adding a different number to the overall total.

It seems like doing "harder" stuff just adds more "points" to your total faster.

Once you get enough points.. you just turn it in. This seems like a "do whatever you want, turn it in when point total is reached" type thing.

Warriors? Born from the Light?

I'm a bit worried they have a fatigue system attached to this thing. If you're grinding too much to get your glows, It sounds like it might be eventually going down to a trickle or "feeble glow". So far I haven't seen anyone doing ST and receiving anything lower then blinding. We need someone to grind something like that or a expert dungeon, to see if this fatigue thing kicks all the way on, where your either Feeble, or nothing no matter what you do for the day. God I hope not, I wanna be able to grind on the weekend...
