    I don't get it. You get light from basically doing everything.
    Treasure maps? (or at least Alex maps) LIGHT
    FATEs? Light!
    Dungeons? Light!
    Raids? Light!
    Trials? Light!
    Just pick something and do it. Technically they do offer "consumables" that give light because everything in the game that could possibly pose a challenge to you (except hunts) gives you light.

    The light that stuff gives is shit. You need to aim for bright. Just playing your game casually and doing your usual thing won't get you your nexus. You won't get it without tons of farming.

    Not true. Just by having my Novus equipped while playing the game got me to about 700 Light, without even trying, decided to farm it afterwards in-case there was a relic upgrade in 2.4, fortunately there wsan't.

    That's weird. To get 700 light you need to do either Fates 700 or run ST 60 times. Or spam dungeons alot. But even then, 700 isn't even the half of whats needed. Maybe we just have different playstyles. But personally, I have no reason whatsoever to spam fates, ST or dungeons over and over again.

    Nobody who farm light (even as casual) do it only with FATE or ST.
    There are enough other content most people do daily that also give light

    Seconded. I actually farmed around 600 lights only by doing Frontlines (I think I got to rank 32 by that). After that I've also tried to do a few runs of current bonus trial whenever I feel like it. I'm currently missing under 200, and using Novus for expert and other dungeon runs (but not Coil or newest extremes). I don't feel like changes are needed.

    Lol? I got mine in about three weeks just by doing my daily roulettes, alex/peiste maps, ST, and occasionally farming HM primals for things to desynth. There was some random FATE grinding in there as well (accompanying friends that were hunting Atmas in zones that I already had Atmas from), helping people with relic quests, that kind of thing. Nexus is quite literally the easiest stage of the relic to be implemented to date.

    Do T4 farming, especially if it's in bonus. Tons of people are farming it for crafting mats/desynth fodder so it's a really fast queue even for DPS. When I queue on BLM with a friend (also BLM) we generally get in inside of 3-5 minutes. You can tear the dungeon apart in just a few minutes even without the party being full of Novus wielders.
