Not to mention standing in one spot trying to farm the same mob over and over is boring as all hell. And no I'm not spending millions of gil because SE allowed people to take advantage of people. Gil may not be hard to make but I'm not making it hand over fist either. You don't even need logorams to do anything in Pyros (or Hydratos from what I hear except maybe BA) so tying them to the weapon and forcing you to collect something that should be optional is stupid imo. Maybe if the nerfed it to needing 5, 10, and 15 instead of 10, 20, and 30 MIGHT make me go back...
    I don't know what to say in this case. I gave you an easy solution that will not even cost you more than 100K to get the rest of your logos actions. But you're refusing to do it simply because you don't want to do it. Did you not buy grade 4 materia for the previous relic? Or you just farmed them? In this case, why are you refusing to farm them in Pyros? Bunnies are not the only source of the really common logograms.

    And the deleveling part is really up to you. You want a quick gain of EXP and light, you can do it. You don't want to, you can do it too. You don't lose anything from deleveling one level from cap. Even SE intentionally placed some mobs that will level you quickly to level cap in hydatos (sprite island).

You either pick a spot with a party and kill the same mob over and over, or you farm NMs, which is easier and faster. Sure you could do both and then hope you make it to the NM before it dies. Or you could help spawn the NM and be their when it does.

    And Eureka isn't new content. It's the same content in a new "instanced" zone. Just because the drop rate from Atma's to Crystals has been increased doesn't make the content different.
    You need to first find a group willing to help. Doing it solo won't work. To spawn the NMs in Pyros for example you just need to kill 30 mobs and wait for it. So if we're planning on getting the higher level NMs, we'd have to be get 2-3 full parties. You'd still get chain EXP bonus and plus a really quick death for those 30 mobs. So you don't spend hours on the same mobs. Once we hit the 30 mark, we move to anther NM mobs. Because the NM will spawn after a random timer so no point killing more after that. If we're dealing with low level mobs, we easily assign solo players to them when they're at level cap since they can easily melt them. And the result of doing all that, is a chain of NMs spawning, lots of EXP and crystals with only a time frame of less than an hour.
    Heck, in some cases we don't even manage to complete a 15 kill chain due to how quick some NMs spawn.

    Another thing to do if you really want to level up quick without worrying about NMs, is to find mobs that are magic only (like sprites and Mammets) , use reflect logos action and take off all your gear and grab everyone of them around you and let them kill themselves. The result? tons of EXP and logograms. An example of this is sprite island in Hydatos. SE intentionally filled it with sprites that spawn in all weathers except clear skies (rare weather). And they drop tons of EXP and logograms (currently have 678 fundamental logograms from them). And people use that island to level back up to 60 if they died in BA.

    As for bunny fate, I don't bother doing them unless the instance is locked and there are only a few number of people. This way you 100% ensure a chest and so it increases the chance of getting gold. And with very few people in the instance, the bunny fate takes literally less than 1min to finish it.

    Now my other sources of activity there is to go help low level players by giving them free rides to NMs and resurrecting those that died. And of course the fun shout chat. You gotta admit it more active than any open world map.

    And from the lockboxes you get from the NMs, you don't only break-even on the cost of the gil you spend to get some stuff on the market board, you end up with much more gil. The VI materia that you get, and you can give the V's to Mutamix in hopping of getting crafting/gathering Vs and VIs that you can sell for tens of thousands of gil. And those drop a lot from the lockboxes.
