Nexus Light Grinding in 3.0.

Anyone know what the new light values are or the best way to farm light in 3.0? I had heard they changed the light values needed for this step but from my experience it doesn't seem like by much.

I'd also like to know, as I'll get back to it after I'm 60

I'm more concerned with where I'd do so. Realizing the new dungeons don't give lights apparently (and that'd be kind of mean for me to farm lights there anyway), and less incentive to run lower dungeons and CT, or to run relics so I'd have others for light parties...

Any news on this?

From my experience with Zeta light (mahatma), the contents that give light/resonance now give doubled amounts. So presumably they all give 4 times the original light.

My WHM for example started the Nexus just before the early access, and only through the High Level/Leveling/Trial/Main roulettes, I've already got into the 3rd phase (600~799).

If you just swap into the relic when you get 2.x content in the roulette, you should steadily progress.

To report back on my own findings,

I farmed Garuda Hard Mode for about 40 mins last night when it was giving the light bonus and I went up a light level.

The other night keeper of the lake had the bonus and I ran it twice and Ifrit hard mode four times and went up a light level.

Ha I think I ran with you a few times while doing garuda last night. Mine was already half way through slight (its on the third stage now) so cant really say how much I got. Is garuda worth doing even without bonus? And also what are you using to check the light bonus? Like who has it and such.

Its not near like it used to be in the past I'm told but I can generally find what has the bonus before it closes using them most of the time.

Yeah i guess ill have to cruise around what has their window open to finish this asap.

obviously im not doing it for the dps/ilevel

I'm doing it just for the achievement and have a cool glamour.

There is going to be relic progression in 3.0, isn't there?

Yes, and though there is supposedly going to be some sort of "leg up" for having the Zodiac, it will NOT be part of the ARR Relic chain. It will be something all new.

so does anyone actually know the light values for the nexus....is it 4x now?

Is Garuda HM still the fastest way to farm lights?
