The Nexus and you

Topic....
Ok I started like many of us started working on our nexus weapon. It took some research and understanding and here what I got. To fully attune our weapon we just basically do our thing and that is adventure.

Each run we do gives us different type of glows which have something called exposure. So far from what I was told that ST give the best reward which is "blinding" glow which have more exposure time.

So the brighter the light the more exposure it will have for our darkened weapon.

Start topic and correct me if I'm wrong.

Assuming you only do ST, and you always get Blinding... you're looking at 250 ST runs to complete your Nexus. So if you're figuring 30min each run, that's 175h or a bit over 7d straight running ST.

Then you can just do, Brayflox HM, Levi Ex, ... and save a ton of time.

Yeah I just did expert DR and I also blinding I guess I could mix it up

T4 is roughly a light per minute @ 4 lights. spam fates with queue in between pulls or use pf. St is not the way to go.

It unfortunately fits the pattern of each stage taking longer than the last, so my concern is not being able to keep up with the content. To upgrade from novus to nexus would take many hundreds of dungeon runs, or thousands of fates. Quite plainly it's asking us to repeat all available content more times than would be enjoyable.

Yes even tho st yields a high glow exposure it's not the way to go.

I had this thought, too, for a moment, but it's really just giving us a way to advance the relic quest by otherwise playing normally. Getting it done ASAP will indeed be a duty grind, but if being the first to finish isn't the goal, it's fine.

I actually like this kind better since it give us more reason to re visit old areas. It's a nice break

yea, would be nice if it worked by giving content that have had less instances recently (such as certain EX primals, CT) a higher chance at more light, tat is to say if it doesnt already work that way

I love this stage too, because it basically lets you do your thing. Whatever you want to do. If you want to run ST 250 times, you can. If you never want to set foot in ST you can. If you never want to touch another fate, you can. If you want to get it all done doing Coil, you can. You're not forced to kill 900 of the same enemies. You're not forced to stand around for hours waiting for a rare Fate to pop.

No sarcasm at all when I say great job SE.

One thing I just don't like is that it doesn't really say ur progress.

Yes SE did a great job on this phase. Because really u don't need to spend anything. Can. U Gus take pics of ur progress so far. And plz list the type of glows u have gotten so far

It'll b quite interesting what secondary stat will be added once u have gotten your nexus. Also did some digging around and here, http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...t_information/

I actually really enjoy this stage since I can basically get my lights while working on other content such as daily roulettes. But even better we can now get alexandrites while novus is equipped and if you're like me and have a second novus on the way, this is really awesome news.

wondering how things will flow with secondary stats. Seems unlikely a tri stated novus will gain stats on each.

Not exactly. These were the only i110 weapons I could really aim for since I don't have time for coil statics. And yeah if they happen to make it so atma stones drop when you have a novus or animus weapon equipped I'll be making a third one.

I think the nexus will have 3 secondary stats, I mean look at the novus stage, u can have 5 total

apparently the Nexus weapons only modify two stats max, not 3+.

The bad part is you are forced to play always the same job. For Novus you could do the expert roulette with different jobs for a change and dig the mysterious map with other, then use the alexandrite for your main's weapon. Also for example in ST you have to go with a job that probably doesn't need the loot, instead of upgrading the alt classes mainly in ST and the main class with soldiery.

I used to enjoy doing content with different jobs, now I feel I'm wasting time if I don't use the main one in most content.

Good part: you find best geared and experienced players all around. ST runs are much better now as they used to be, everybody that needs the Nexus is playing their main job. Same in Expert Roulette.

So it will only give the stat boost to the top two secondaries you have? Or is it that it only allows two stats period?

Yep, one of my novus weapons went from 22 crit 22 ss 31 det to 23 crit 23 ss 32 det when upgraded to nexus.

Fortunately for me, I spam content anyway. Doing them over and over has not been an issue for me.

I agree. Here's the Bad part:
These good players are hard to find for Second Coil because they are too busy with Zodiac or have already ran the Coils. What happens here is, people like me that are talented get left behind when certain requirements, such as TeamSpeak, are needed but don't have.

The "other" group of players need people to tell them when to stop all actions (Blighted Bouquet, T6) or turn around (Petrification, T7).

Oh u forgot the "third" group of people who doesn't stop talking 24/7 in TS overlapping the "shouter"'s voice, nothing more annoying than 4 peeps other than the shouter chit chat too excited and cause wipes
