Discuss new relic upgrade

[Skyl1n3]

Just did an ST run that took over 35 mins, still only got a Blinding Light and not a 'New-born Star' bright

Only getting a gentle light from trial roulettes now. Back to back garuda then ifrit.

edit add Titan hm as well. all gentle light. Must go down the more people do it. Probably works kind of like the adventurer in need on roulettes. The things getting done the least start giving better returns.

[Scura]

Peisteskin treasure map emits a feeble light.

you need gold on fate for any credit, and it was all freebie. Extreme and DR Expert was brilliant, and Coil turn 1 was just below in scare, turn 6+ and Ramuh should yield the best credit

[dark0past]

I did ST /DR /T6 and no light at all

help

have you talk to Jalzhan after completed the quest to seal your weapon?

I noticed this shortly after I got home from work and completed the Soulglazing quest, but the spiritbond percentage is missing from the Novus tooltip now.

I have a feeling that this is exactly as it seems to be, and that doing higher level content will net you a greater effect on your way to upgrading your Novus. The question being with this one is whether or not SE expects anyone to be able to upgrade to Nexus prior to 2.4 (if so, I intend to try) or if they're simply making this not possible (in which case, I won't waste my time spamming roulettes/ST).

It also comes to mind that after several attempts of completing duties and receiving the "Light" notice, upon checking through the Zodiac Glass the Novus still says it "exhibits no aetheric activity." This could be that the latter of my previous paragraph is true (that it'll take a long time to complete it, therefore it takes a long time to see any progress through the Glass) or that the former could be true (and that the Glass won't yield a positive report until you're actually finished with the bonding process).

EDIT: Another thing I noticed is that when you first use your Zodiac Glass you'll see the icons of whatever your Novus is with the visage of what the Nexus will be. This image quickly goes completely black and then slowly phases back in as a dimly colored version. I'm expecting this "icon" to be an indicator of progress. I wouldn't doubt SE is using this as a measure of how much "Light" your Novus has "attuned".

Ah good catch. I just looked and mine no longer shows a spirit bond percentage either. I was at 100% spiritbond before the patch. I just got it about a week ago and it stuck in my head since I though to myself that may be useful for the next upgrade. I think all we are doing is secretly spiritbonding them again and SE didnt want to make it seem that simple .

I haven't read through this entire thread so I'm not sure if any said this or not but if you look at the screen box when you open the Zodiac Glass, the picture of the relic is blacked out (unlike on Animus books, where it shows a color picture of the relic) - I think that possibly our progress will be measured through that - like the relic picture will fill in as we soul bond it - an obvisouly this will take awhile.

either exactly this, or else the brighter the light, the higher chance it will exhibit a change xD

It's either a simple SBing , or it's atma 2.

And given the amount of lame mystery surrounding this, I'm guess it is something lame and unoriginal and recycled but SE just didn't want to let us know that xD.
