    If you don't want to farm Alex, other good sources of light are Expert and 60 roulettes, the 24-man raids, and Frontlines Seal Rock/Fields of Glory as well as any HW bird farms.

    A lot of my light came from pvp. So in addition to all my relic weapons, now I also have all the Garo mounts, a Storm cavalry horse, and a white ADS. (And pretty good pvp rank on my server!)

    But yeah, Void Ark is quick and easy. Also, you can just spam level 60 dungeons. I got tired of A1S so I did most of my light through other methods and still finished up that step in about a week and a half for most.

    Well, thanks for the help guys. If my current gear seems to work, I'll give it a try! I've just never wanted to even try because I hate the idea of bringing a party/group down.

    So A1S is like Garuda (HM) during 2.x light farming?

    It's pretty much place face on keyboard and roll now. Faust is an absolute joke. I solo heal everything on SCH and by solo heal I mean I spam broil while watching YouTube (for Faust anyway) and then on the boss itself all you have to do is avoid the green puddles and go ham. I literally never have to heal unless someone stands in a puddle or gets hit with his big beam. The whole encounter can be solo healed / tanked now. Heck Faust doesn't even need a tank. Had a run where tank said brb but no one wanted to wait so we locked the tank out and smeared Faust across the floor. I got 5 runes completed within maybe 10-12 hours of grind.


    TL;DR sorry for long post, it's easy. Just do it xD

    What have you been doing for it to take so long? O_o I been doing A1s, A9s, A10s as an alt (for gear and lights) and within 3 days out of this week (cept for the dailies, did them daily) getting lights doing lights casually net me 7 runes. I should be done today, depending on other things. Alts come second after all

    You need 488 as a caster for floor 1as and 592 (or was it 3?) 593? for 9-12. It is not hard esp for 9. If I can do them as an alt then.... I do not see the issue

    Daily Roulettes. I wasn't really focusing on it, figured I'd earn it at a gradual pace like the other parts, but really, that just was not the case when it came to the Light farming. I did some AS1 this morning and that went pretty well. I'll do that a few more times for sure now. Thanks everyone!

    Don't worry about it at all. I have been in groups where the healers pull well ahead of the DPS and it still melts like butter. A1S is a complete joke nowadays.

    As for the OP. I suspect we may see one final patch update when the NA datacenters relocate. This will only uncap Scriptures, allow Sophia/Zurvan/Proto-Alex stuff to be turned in and probably nerf the light step. Just speculation on my part though!

    Keep track of the bonus windows via reddit's live thread. Without bonus a1s is 12 light/run, with bonus it's 24 light/run (double). I'm usually too lazy to do it outside bonus windows, but if you're up for the grind, it's still one of the fastest method even without bonus.
