    That would be the most inefficient way of farming. Currently nothing tops Cape Westwind and Garuda HM grinds.

    Three ST runs will give you, at most, 48 points. That's, at worst, 24 runs of Garuda. If each Garuda run takes 3 minutes, that's 1:12. You would have to complete ST in 24 minutes each time for it to compete. And that's not considering Bright lights from Garuda. >_>

    I'm 2/2 on newborn star in ST, and I think it is likely based more on contribution and getting on the hate list than anything else (blm spamming aoe with tanks that held hate and rounded up well)

    What group do you run with for 3min Garuda HM? Our preform party of 6 DPS runs 2min 15s. Averagely it should be under 2mins 30s. Which means 24 rounds of 2.5mins Garuda HM, means 48 points per hr.

    Cape Westwind with a pre-made, assuming 6 DPS can be done at about 1min per run. That is about 60 points per hr.

    Nothing else beats these 2 runs. Even if ST gives bonus at Newborn star, you will need a pre-formed alliance that can run 20mins ST, and that is 3 runs in an hour, 16 x 3 = 48 which is the normal Garuda rate.

    I don't think I need to give any further math on this.

    It was an example. Not necessarily the best way.
    Even so, I'll probably do ST and not Garuda or primals because it would be easier for me to track in the long run and I'm still trying to get my hands on that dumb knight :P
