Discuss new relic upgrade

[BloodPact]

From what I've read it seems that the following are more or less confirmed (feel free to correct or add to this):

TENTATIVE 1: Since we've seen content that gives Newborn Star also give Blinding Light, but not the other way around; I'll assume that Newborn Star is the max reward at this point.
TENTATIVE 2: I've also noticed that certain content can either give the max reward or a tier below, for example: Syrcus Tower has given Newborn Star or Blinding Light, but not Brilliant Light. If there is in fact a fatigue system, it is possible after several attempts at same content the rewards start to go lower in tier.

MAX REWARDS (in order of possible importance):

- Syrcus Tower / The Labyrinth of the Ancients give Newborn Star.
- Expert Roulettes give Blinding Light.
- Main Scenario Roulettes give Blinding Light.
- The Second Coil of Bahamut Turns give Blinding Light.
- Primal Battles (HM and EX) give Blinding Light. Confirm if all Trials follow this rule.
- Lower level roulettes give Brilliant Light.
- Brayflox Longstop (Hard) gives Brilliant Light.
- The Binding Coil of Bahamut Turns give Bright Light.
- Unhidden Treasure Maps give Gentle Light.
- FATEs give Feeble Light.
- The Hunt marks give no message of progression.

- Lower level roulettes give Brilliant Light

Those 6 minute Zergflox runs seem like they will be the go-to quick way to upgrade again, because of the time/investment ratio. If I can run 5 Bray HM in half an hour and get 5 blinding lights with a pre-made, that sure sounds like it trumps one newborn star upgrade from a syrcus tower in 30-60min time (depending on your group)

Oh and I didn't mistake the timing, in full i110 the entire dungeon can easily be completed in 6 mins with an efficient group.

Anyone spammed the same instance to see if there is diminshing returns yet?

Also, great observation Ulath.

Did one HM Tam and got blinding light.

Selected dungeon or through Expert Roulette?

Got it from Expert Roullete. I did main scenario too and that one gave me brilliant light.

I think the picture of the weapon is what shows the progress and the words will only change once its full. Heres 2 screenshots. The first is before i did any content. and the second is when you first open it it showns it in full light for a second.

Well, that second screenshot was taken before the relic completely fades to black, so it's not entirely accurate. I'm fairly sure the text will change when there is an actual change though.

Going on the assumption that Ulath is right, I took some screenshots to try to capture throughout the day. Initially, I thought I saw change....

Will update with more information when i have it.

Update - After grinding today, I didn't see any change. =/
