    From what I've read it seems that the following are more or less confirmed (feel free to correct or add to this):

    TENTATIVE 1: Since we've seen content that gives Newborn Star also give Blinding Light, but not the other way around; I'll assume that Newborn Star is the max reward at this point.
    TENTATIVE 2: I've also noticed that certain content can either give the max reward or a tier below, for example: Syrcus Tower has given Newborn Star or Blinding Light, but not Brilliant Light. If there is in fact a fatigue system, it is possible after several attempts at same content the rewards start to go lower in tier.

    MAX REWARDS (in order of possible importance):

    - Syrcus Tower / The Labyrinth of the Ancients give Newborn Star.
    - Expert Roulettes give Blinding Light.
    - Main Scenario Roulettes give Blinding Light.
    - The Second Coil of Bahamut Turns give Blinding Light.
    - Primal Battles (HM and EX) give Blinding Light. Confirm if all Trials follow this rule.
    - Lower level roulettes give Brilliant Light.
    - Brayflox Longstop (Hard) gives Brilliant Light.
    - The Binding Coil of Bahamut Turns give Bright Light.
    - Unhidden Treasure Maps give Gentle Light.
    - FATEs give Feeble Light.
    - The Hunt marks give no message of progression.

    Those 6 minute Zergflox runs seem like they will be the go-to quick way to upgrade again, because of the time/investment ratio. If I can run 5 Bray HM in half an hour and get 5 blinding lights with a pre-made, that sure sounds like it trumps one newborn star upgrade from a syrcus tower in 30-60min time (depending on your group)

    Oh and I didn't mistake the timing, in full i110 the entire dungeon can easily be completed in 6 mins with an efficient group.

    Anyone spammed the same instance to see if there is diminshing returns yet?

    Also, great observation Ulath.
