How getting light on Born Again Anima quest really works?

Well this sucks when it means it's impossible get ilvl 270 weapon before 4.0 when i need farm dungeons a lot, so it would be better if i give up even trying to make ligh grind when it takes lot longer then doing umbrite and sand crystal grind which took like 2-3 weeks to do after the nerf.

Sadly, and as others have said, you basically need to just grind A1S (or A9S if you can), and preferable when it has the bonus, in order to complete this step in any sane amount of time (real or /played)... Outside of that you can get about 1 rune per week doing Expert once per day, the normal / 24 man raids once per week, and the occasional trial.

As a side note, this is the one step that is stopping me from even attempting a second Anima. I absolutely hated it.

The Umbrite step is the absolute worse.

its best if you grind A1S. The fight takes less than 10 mins to complete and you should be done within a week.
