"Bonus Light" windows to level your Novus to Nexus

[Musashidon]

I'd probably wanna shoot my self doing only cape westwind over and over again... at least with primals there's a chance to get something to desynth :P

oh yea don't get me wrong i never meant to say it was great a 50 second punching bag that you literally do nothing but your rotation and ignore everything else is boring i was literally listening to disney songs and typing them into chat to be entertained xD course garuda wasn't much more interesting for me though everyone ignore plumes the whole time and take the first aoe xD

Yeah, I stated that these blocks are random and doesn't follow a daily schedule already.
@Musashidon, I don't judge what ppl do to level their nexus. I'm all ears for anything that's good for farming Nexus, just because I personally don't want to do that doesn't mean it's bad. Probably better for people who can stand the Grinding hell. Keep throwing out more suggestions so that people can choose for themselves what they want to do.

Pretty much how I feel about it. Kudos to those that grind it out, but I can't do it. I'll probably get most of mine just from the course of my own daily routine. It's pretty nice to know that eventually I'll get it either way. ^^

I don't think the dungeons that receive bonus is random, I feel like based on all the threads I've read on the subject, it seems like its simply a bonus all across the board for all content. Barring possibly low reward content like fates. Has anyone seen bonus with fates, because if it is all across the board at random or specific times, then doing fates for a bit until you get the bonus would be a great way to know when its time to go grind for a couple hours. I don't know, it would seem kind of odd that SE would make it THAT complicated to track the bonus don't you think(referring to the random dungeon theory)? The patch notes, seems to just suggest there is only a time frame that we should be concerned about. Has there been anything to prove/disprove that? Has anyone seen the bonus pop up on one dungeon, and decide to completely change gears and try something completely different like ST or Coil T1? I'd say you'd have to be someone that has tested that multiple times to confirm that possible theory.

the general consensus is that: nothing beats Garuda HM, and cape westwind, regardless of status.
westwind can take a min or less, to get 1 light, while Titan can take 5min, and give 1, or 2-3 with bonus.
so per hour, westwind is best, because it's such a quick fight.
the only reason to go with these other ones, is if you dont have or dont want to join 8man pre-mades. or want to minimize the amount of runs, rather than time.
cause you'd need to run westwind like 2000 times by utilizing bonus times, you could probably get away with 500 runs, or less, but spend more time in each run.

it's not across the board, you can go trough multiple duties, and get gentle light, then you find the ones with bonus.
ex primals, expert dungeons, and CT/ST, etc have higher base light and bonus, but because they take longer to complete. HMs have gentle or such, as base, and bright as bonus.
STR can give newborn star, which is the highest you can get, but....ST takes like 30min+ in normal cases. with the amount of time it takes, it's better to do westwind repeatedly. But again, that's a preference, if you want to do many short runs, or few long runs.

Garuda HM gentle now

[TimeDilation]

Its not time based. A friend did garuda hm yesterday to figure out bonus window. Because it was full of mega casuals the took 16 min to receive gentle.

Gilgamesh aka Battle on the big bridge is in bonus. 2-4pm est.
