Nexus Vs Relic

[Alkimi]

Some guy on reddit. Possibly a troll, as I can't imagine someone completing that many ST runs since the patch went live.

It will be a troll yea. Once you hit the first stage where your relic has "indistinct activity" you're 10% done. People have already got this all figured out it seems.

Biggest problem I have with the nexus addition is the time involvement.

25x ST runs got someone 1% progress.
Assume ST takes roughly 40-60mins.
This is roughly 2000 hours of grinding recycled content.
If you were do to this back to back, no sleep, no food, no work - you would be running ST for over 100 days straight.

unless i missed something, the patch hasn't even been up for 24 hours. calling BS on 25 ST runs.

If I got light for every time someone cried about this quest, I would have 6 nexus weapons by now.

So nexus doesn't give stat increase?

Nexus:

Novus

+2wpd, +2str, +2vit and stronger autoattack, ofc substats are not seen

he got the 1st upgrade on his glasses doesn't mean he's at 1%, SE didn't bother with 100 different visible step.

You need 2000 Light on your weapon to finish soul attunement. The first picture was with the value of light set at 1999. It is obviously not enough.
I'll update these values as I figure out more but so far:

so far:
Feeble: 1 Light
Gentle: 4 Light
Bright: ?
Brilliant: ?
Blinding: 8 Light
Newborn Star: ?


Tiers:

'No Activity': 0 - 199
'Indisctinct Activity': 200-399
'Faint Activity': 400-599
'Slight Activity': 600-799
'Modest Activity': 800-999
'Distinct Activity': 1000-1199
'Robust Activity': 1200-1399
'Vigorous Activity': 1400-1599
'Intense Activity': 1600-1799
'Extreme Activity': 1800-1999
'Bursting Activity': 2000+ (Complete)

also if you need 40+min to clear ST your alliance is bad / not a novus farming alliance

I just wish they'd kept the upgrades both interesting and unique instead of giving us mindless grinds. The initial relic quest is full of different tasks, and keeps things interesting as a result. Doing the same darned grind just gets boring quickly.

Zenith/Atma/Animus/Novus/Nexus (btw when will you run out of names? :P )

Neverus!

Haha im so funny today, im on fire!

[Radacci]

did ppl expect to get nexus in 2 days, or something?
they have been steadily increasing the time it would require, to upgrade.
if it wasn't for materias being sellable, Novus would have taken forever.
Nexus doesn't involve sellable items, therefor it will take a long time...and next step is going to be twice as long, at least...count on it.
Relic has always been a long term project, and will stay that way.
Supposedly relics will eventually be the best weps you can get, though.
