Can something be done about light farming?

[Gunspec]

Most of the stages have been nerfed plenty already, but Novus and Nexus are still a significant hurdle. Perhaps those two could use a bit more help. The other upgrade stages, ... probably not.

Novus just requires alexandrite and materia. The alexandrite maps now give 5 alexandrite each, for what, 100 myth? And since your relic stats aren't important if you're just building it for glamour, so you can rather cheaply fill your relic with only grade 1 and 2 materia of assorted types.

The only thing I could see them making easier is to remove the 80-60% meld chances the grade 1 and 2 materia end up suffering, so you don't burn through as many materia. Maybe make all grade 1 and grade 2 melds 100% chance so you are guaranteed to finish it with exactly 75 materia.

It's not like you need those crit/det melds for spamming light farm, and the ilevel 125 upgrade doesn't even require you to have the weapon equipped while farming. Only my retainer knows that my Zeta bow has spell speed on it.
