Discuss new relic upgrade

This to me sounds like a rested exp bonus kinda thing.

I'm not sure I believe this is the case. If you are suggesting it works anything like the experience based rested bonus we already have in game, there is no way this is correct. For the last month and a half, the only instance activity I have done is coil 6-8 and 9 progression (no win yet). I have had no reason to do primals, dungeons and I don't care for ST drops, so I haven't run any of those until yesterday. The first thing I did was pre-make a Bray HM, and I got a bright light at the end of the dungeon. People on this forum had been reporting getting a "brilliant" light from there. My first ST gave me a blinding light, and I ran 2 back-to-back Tam-Tara HM and got blinding light from both of those as well. No roulette was used, I chose the things I did outright.


That being said, I won't waste my time in ST anymore if I can get blinding from Tam-Tara consistently. The ST run took 45mins because of a Scylla wipe and the T-T took a bit over 15.

The theory about it being a certain time of day could be correct, but that's just way to random for me to feel comfortable about going off of. I work, I'm sure a lot of other people work too. So I can effectively never get a bonus because I have to work at the time of day this magic increase is effecting Eorzea? Maybe multiple times of day there is an increase, but if you have already collected one then you forfeit any more for the day?

Has anyone done enough ST, to see a newborn star light comment, then later on see it decrease to a blinding light comment, then even later see it increase back to the newborn comment in the same Earth (not Eorzea) day?

I can't imagine anyone wanting to run ST that much in one sitting, so I'm not expecting an answer but it may be a good thing to test if your masochistic enough
