    I'm skeptical on a 1 minute run. You have to take into account time it takes to leave, time it takes to renter, time it takes to pull. That alone could add 30 seconds.

    Averagely possible. We have seen a 40s kill last night with 6 DPS that is counted with the timer itself, from the time you can move out of the protection circle to the time it is killed, 40s. Even if this takes 1m, time to re-enter with a preform party takes at most 10s. It is about there. Cape Westwind and Garuda HM are so far unmatched in terms of lights/min.

    6 DPS and over 38 runs the average came out to 1m35s including queue times, entering, leaving, waiting for everyone to load etc. etc. Thats 38 light in just over 1 hour. No physical kills took more than 1m. You are grossly underestimating the down time.

    It still seems like the most consistently simple way to farm light, if not actually the most efficient. I'd like to see some actual run numbers for an hour of Garuda HM to compare, but it seems like finding the "bright" rotation will be the best option.

    Hi Snake,

    Thanks for the thread and spreadsheet! Here are my findings so far (these times were based on Kill (sorry I saw your thread after I wrote down the times) - but considering each Primal kill took us only about ~3 minutes you can back time it if it helps).

    Content: Garuda HM
    Light Received: Gentle Light
    Time: 4:35 a.m. Server Time

    Content: Ifrit HM
    Light Received: Bright Light
    Time: 4:43 a.m. Server Time

    * Did another 3 x Ifrit HM immediately after (all 3 - 4 min kills): All Bright Lights. Then...

    Content: Ifrit HM
    Light Received: Gentle Light
    Time: 5:07 a.m. Server Time

    Then immediately...

    Content: Garuda HM
    Light Received: Gentle Light
    Time: 5:18 a.m. Server Time

    So maybe it's just random?

    It is not. In your case Ifrit changed at 5:00 am.
