How do you farm Light for Anima quest?

I read a lot on reddit and these forums saying A1S is the best option to farm Light.

Problem is, A1S is completely dead and no one joins for more than 1 run.

How am i supposed to get light nowadays? Is it impossible to complete the anima quest now that the old content has been abandoned?

At least on primal there's around 2-3 parties per week of anima light farming on AS9.

If everyone's dps is decent (3K each or so) A9S is superior to A1S. Double the light for the same timeframe.

It's just a dps race just like A1S is.

What if A9S is also dead (i don't know if it is, haven't unlocked it yet)? Will that mean i'll have to spend months and months using a sub-par weapon to acquire all the light needed?

Considering you're only doing this for glam I dont think theres much else beyond what you just said. If theres no a1/9s farm parties yeah its gonna take a while, that's just how it is.

I just farmed HW dungeons...

Sohm Al, The Vault etc...

Quick and easy dungeons, basically just go through them until finding one that has its bonus active and then spamming it.

Light comes from all HW duties, not just raids.

Do you need to have the weapons equipped while doing the dungeons? Or can you just equip them before leaving?

Also how do you know a dungeon has a bonus?

Brayflox hard is the best for light unless theres another dungeon that gives higher than robust. You can finish brayflox hard in 5-6 minutes.

I ran Wanderer's Palace, not even the hard one, to farm for light on my AST. I found that to be quite quick itself.

You only need the weapon equipped for the final boss of the dungeon.

If you want to be really cheeky, you can quickly equip it after you kill the boss, but before the death has registered, but honestly, you shouldn't have much issue with just killing the boss with the Anima weapon.

Basically, after completing the dungeon instead of getting a message to the effect of "Your weapon emits a gentle light" you instead get the message "Your weapon grows more robust"

Essentially, just look for the word "Robust" in the message instead of "Gentle"

Be aware that the bonus lasts for 1 hour then it swaps to a different set of dungeons (Which means spamming a bunch of them to find the new bonus one...). It's worth chasing the bonuses though, since it literally doubles the rate at which you gain light (Gentle is like +16 light while Robust is +32) and so even if the bonus dungeon isn't as quick as the fastest dungeon, so long as it isn't more than twice as long it's still a gain in light for time spent.

Also note, these rules apply to the Zodiac weapon light farms too if you ever find yourself doing that. Both for the Nexus stage as well as for the final Zeta stage.
