    Assuming 5 hours a day ...

    Atma - 1 day, maybe dip into the next day if unlucky
    Animus - 7 days, 5 hours lets you do a book and a quarter if you get insta-queues into dungeons and aren't FATE blocked by luck
    Novus - 5 days, a lot more if you're poor and need to get gil or spiritbond what you want though you can just use a ghetto build and come back to this step
    Nexus - 4-5 days since the light buff. It takes about 20 hours of some decent grinding, less if you get into an extreme mode farm, more if you have queues.
    Zodiac - 5 days unless you get unlucky. Most dungeons are within 3 or so attempts, but sometimes you get that one that takes 15+ tries. Also can depend on how much Soldiery/GC seals you start with.
    Zodiac Zeta - 2-3 days depending on the type of group you get. Hundreds of people already have it 12 hours after the patch dropped.

    Total investment - 24-26 days, 80k GC seals, a whole lot of Soldiery, upwards of 10 million gil depending on materia you get and luck

    Reward - best weapon in the game, and I'd say grinding on your main class for literally weeks will improve you in some way, if not overall then fight specifically.

    How do you get 100 lights/hour?

    Unless you can do 25 runs of garuda hm during light bonus ( 2:25 /run) including queue time/people watching cutscenes / group with low DPS, I don't see how it is possible.

    And Garuda HM is most of time gentle, very rarely bright.

    They doubled the light for Nexus recently, so it would be 12.5 Garuda HM on bonus per hr. That's reasonable in a farming party if there aren't a hundred other groups doing the same thing, causing you to wait 3-4 minutes to get in each time.
