Light Values For Relic 3.1

So I did 3 to 4 solo SASTASHA NM runs, solo mind you, and was able to get a notch above on my relic. I.E. I went from Faint to Vigorus in 45 minutes by doing SASTASHA NM solo.

Each SAS NM run could take as long as 6 minutes solo, so in order to do all light in one sitting it will take 2 to 2 and a half hours.

SAS NM by default, even solo, gives BRILLIANT light. Which is 12 but if it was doubled for 3.1 then that's 24 so yeah, 3 to 4 runs of SAS NM to get each LIGHT rating, feeble, faint, robust, etc.

Every test I did was at least 3 or 4 runs of SAS NM solo. Easy LIGHT gain.

=============================================================

EDIT: Like someone said below, it's 48 LIGHT gain from Sastasha NM.

Personally, to finish off my Zeta I grinded Ifrit NM solo. It took 15-20 seconds to clear each time. Boring, but it got the job done pretty quickly.

You're actually underestimating.

Brilliant Light is 48 light. Light levels have been "doubled" 3 times since it first started.

When Sastasha is in Bonus (Blinding) it's 96 Light.

However, Feeble Light is 8 light. Ifrit NM gives Feeble. It takes 20-30 seconds to do. So in 6 minutes, you can do about 10-12 runs (with load screens). That's 80-96 Light all the time.

So unless Sastasha is in bonus or you have help running it, it's more efficient to just spam Ifrit

I did this at first as well but, I cant spiritbond there or get the achievements for killing 100,000 monsters. I mean hell, the first room has exactly 32 enemies. And you can pull all the rooms to each boss and just do a crappy AoE to kill em' all in no time lol.

Oh yeah, above is Nexus. You didn't specify Zeta so light values are different lol

Do note that one bonus run of Sastasha completely finishes a Mahatma

What in the world are you even spiritbonding in Satasha NM? The mobs are so low level.

Dosent matter, I can also desynth any gear i get too, which also counts towords achievements. Point is I got it: http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/...pst2iwx07b.png

I also have 206 items left to desynth till i get an achievement for that and only 700 something away from getting the achievement for killing 100k monsters. I also noticed it went to the achievements for dungeons as well. If you can't tell, I like getting achievements.

When I decided to just do it and get Longinus Zeta, all I did was farm Sastasha (normal). While it was in the bonus window, I only had to do it once per mahatma. When it wasn't, I was would farm Sastasha two, three times tops, to max out a mahatma. It was about 5-5 1/2 minutes (unless I had to afk, then it took a couple of minutes longer). Though I never thought about doing Ifrit (normal). I should do it just to see what it's like to solo it.

I have a question for anyone that knows. Do undersized parties earn the poetics for doing the dungeons? working on the relic weapon, and need to restock on my poetics. I've been doing the dungeons for the nexus part, and I'm running low. didn't really question it before, but now i'm wondering if it does.

Don't think so, I just did an unsync of Amdapor Keep but didn't get any.

You do not get Poetics unsynced sadly.

Anyway is Sastasha NM or Ifrit NM faster for light farming? Once I get to the Light Farming for the rest of my other 8 Relics I will focus on them, but the bloody books feel too much to do 9x for each weapons. Well on 3rd Book for WAR Relic... better get a move on.

Ifrit is faster if Sastasha is not in bonus.
