Hi all . Dunno where to post this so my apologies in advance. First time doing my dragoon relic from Novus to Nexus stage. Yes i have patience to farm the lights xD Anyone know what dungeons or trials are the fastest way to get more lights (brilliant and blight) unsynced with Novus equipped? Thanks!

I'd pick a trial or raid you can just kill in a few seconds. Maybe Twintania in Turn 5? Does Ultima Weapon count? Other primals tend to go invulnerable and phase change if you don't kill them in 1 hit.

Ah the good ol painful light farm. Three of my favorite pick for Nexus and Zeta (the last) phase are Tam-tara, Stone Vigil, and Aurum Vale. What I did:
- Fish for light bonus period by unsyncing these three dungeons.
- If I manage to catch one of them giving 'Blinding' light bonus, I turn up my music, and spam as much as I can until this bonus window is over.
- If neither of these 3 gave light bonus, I just do Aurum Vale 2 more times to ensure my weapon is at least gaining 1 tier of progress to completion.
Why Aurum Vale? Like Iscah & Drip mentioned, it's actually shorter and possibly the fastest. Morbol seeds can be ignored as long as you keep moving forward. They will hatch but the seedlings won't aggro you if you're too far away. Big morbols are primary target because their death will open up the blocked passages. Otherwise nothing else is gating you beside boss encounter from keep moving on.
If I do get bonus window for Stone Vigil, I always make sure to save my burst buttons to ensure I can force the dragon to skip their untargetable phase. It is otherwise another fast dungeon with very little 'gates'. -

I'd also recommend Brayflox. To be clear, Aurum Vale is still the fastest. Straight up, there is no arguing that. Just blitz through, kill bosses, kill the big Morbols, chuck Piercing Talon at everything else as you move along, and abuse Spineshatter Dive and Dragonfire Dive to close the distance on Morbols. That said, do check if Brayflox is on double Light because it is really fast. There's a brief detour to grab a key at the start of the dungeon, and two doors to open, but other than? Super fast to mow everything down, and it has good Sprint timings (start, after second boss, after third boss). A run will typically take about 3 minutes so it's slower than Aurum but faster than Tam-Tara, and on par with Stone Vigil assuming you one-shot the final boss there.
So yeah, go Aurum Vale. Back during ShB I was getting my runs around 2:30 on most Jobs, up to 3:00 on some. With the Epic Echo and level 90 gear, 2:30 should be easy for everything. Hell, my BRD can do it in 2:00 whenever I need a 1-49 Dungeon for Wondrous Tails. Have fun Light farming, it's a hell of a lot faster than the Book phase. -

Anyone who is lvl 90 SMN, then I would recommend Stone Vigil (N). Round everything up, kill all using Tri-Disaster, then 1 shot boss. Rinse & repeat. About 3 minutes per run & just an absolute breeze to get through. Brilliant light, too.

08-12-2023, 08:58 AMArohkDon't listen to these guys saying Aurum Vale, you need to do Thornmarch Extreme, it only takes 30 seconds per run and gives you 48 light per kill (you need 2000 light)Quote:

Aurum vale is an outdated Strategy from before lvl 90.
also you can take a look here:

08-18-2023, 03:56 PMHasratYour link explicitly states Aurum Vale is still valid. Because it also gives 48 points. Base. Extreme trials only give 48 during bonus period.Quote:

Tam-Tara is definitely old advice, replace it with Toto-Rak, if you can't stand more Aurum Vale.
The absolute best might even be getting a couple others together to unsync Syrcus Tower, if you can 3-man it. But... nah, that's probably still a lot longer and slower than any dungeons, even with the extra light. -

Old thread, but eh.
Recently did the Zodiac relic for my level 82 white mage.
Stone Vigil's redesign means it's pretty quick to get through, around 2:15-2:30 depending. Aside from having to turn around after the second boss, you don't stop running until the door before the final boss. On white mage this meant building lilies constantly, so I'd Swiftcast Glare -> Assize the first boss and one-shot the remaining bosses with Misery, with an additional Assize and Holy towards the end to clear the trash mobs before opening the boss door.
All that said, I've seen people claim Aurum Vale clear times in the 1:30 range, so if you can manage that, then so much the better. And Thornmarch or another Extreme trial will be fastest overall if you can reliably clear in 30 seconds and don't spend too much time between runs--unless one of the quick dungeons is on bonus, but even then it depends on how fast you can actually clear the quick dungeon in question.
