Farming Nexus

[Kiara]

Hi Billy,

I'd say hang in there. 2.4 introduced a TON of new stuff for people to do, and IMHO, the DF "emptiness" you feel now will go away with time.

The majority of players I know have been busy with leveling Rogue / Ninja, working on Shiva Extreme, Final Coil, some lucky ones bought a House and are busy just "gearing up" the house (furniture, styling it out, etc.).

And then there are those busy with Crafting and Gathering Recipes / Gearing those up.

It'll straighten itself out in a bit.

Also, as others have said, for now, while it's not "the best" you can still get Light via:

* FATEs (every FATE yields light for you) - And there are ton of FATEs being done by all the Rogue / Ninjas leveling.

* Treasure Maps

* Try asking a FC/LS/Friend to go Healer and/or Tank for you, and your DF Queues will go much faster.

* Frontlines: If your Server is big into PvP you can have fun joining those runs for Light.

* Syrcus Tower: ST runs are still pretty popular (at least on my server).

I noticed your Avatar lists you as Marauder. If you're going for Axe Nexus as Warrior, your queues should be decent (but get a Healer to join you for the fastest queues).

Another thing is that lots of Rogue / Ninjas are desperate to get some Dungeon Runs. Even Low Level Dungeons can give Bonus Nexus Light, so that might be worth queuing for as well.

Ultimately, while getting 2000 Lights for Nexus seems grindy (it is), when put in perspective it's definitely one of the most *flexible* / friendly portions of the Relic Weapon quest:

* Essentially by doing *whatever you want* / normally do, mostly, you WILL get Nexus Lights and make progress towards the Weapon. It's really nice. :)

It doesn't force you to wait for a Rare FATE to pop (sitting around for 2 hours), or have to do XYZ; you can just go about doing your Duty Roulettes, or general farming for FATEs, Treasure Maps, PvP, Syrcus Tower, End Game / Coil runs, Primals, even fun Story stuff like Gilgamesh (Battle on Big Bridge), or new content (Shiva, Ultros, etc.), and you WILL continually get Light and make progress.
