    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.

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.
    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.
