Primal Hate "RANT" No trolls please.

[FranSeara]

Dear SE, please come up with some other way for players to "quickly" EARN Mahatmas lights and lights other then fighting Primals. (please do not comment on anything to do with RAIDS, this is about relics and the relic quest)

As a player with 3 Zodiac weapons ( soon to be 4 and 5...dont ask me why) this endless fighting and killing of complete cake walk primals is becoming TIRING. So tiring and boring, I no longer get dressed for them. Darklight all the way!!

I know this was by design (help noobs clear them primals). But at what point do I/we get a break? Maybe, I/we should get a Zeta/light bonus everytime we get the first time SOL bonus (many of us dont need sol tomes anymore) We'll take extra lights/zetas instead of tomes, please. (cards, anyone?) Anything?!?

End rant.

ps: This isn't about a nerf, just more ways to quickly EARN lights and Mahatmas lights.
Anything other then smacking around Shiva....

Thank you.

They already doubled Nexus light and Mahatma light is a joke to begin with. ._.

The fact that you're on your 4th and 5th weapon might be a good indicator of why you're getting burnt out.

I wouldn't be against better ways to farm light, but I think you being burned out has more to do with having grinded out 3 weapons (and working on a 4th and 5th) rather than the content being too grindy.

You could also just reprioritize a bit. Start farming something else and consider the light a "bonus" thing. e.g. Try to start farming a cool glamour set, or some ex primal ponies, and then any light you get is just an extra reward.

No matter what they buff or nerf there will still be a best way to farm and once you've grinded the crap out of it it'll be boring. Such is life. Which goes back to my first statement, maybe you're just burning yourself out by focusing too hard on your weapons.

On my 5th mahatma. got two of them grinding a company members atma.

You can always do dungeons? they give light as well. Did a duty roulette low once and got brilliant light one time. I think it was cutters cry

I don't understand what TC is complaining about. There are tons of ways to earn lights. It's not Square Enix's fault you choose to do the same thing over and over. You're complaining for the developer to implement a feature...already implemented??

I mean they doubled lights. They made an hourly bonus system. They made mahatmas easy to obtain and build up.

What more do you want?!

Thanks guys, I do need a break and I've repreordered a few new games. Thanks for being understanding. I'm going to skip out on finishing my Whm's weapon. I'am not so good on Whm and I keep getting stuck with speed running players in DF. Its Time to retire my Whm. lol

In my opinion, Light farming for the Zeta is already pretty fast to finish. You’ll “only” need to farm 480 Light in order to complete it. In Nexus terms, that’s only a quarter of the light required to finish it.

Right now, spamming Primals is the fastest way to gain Light for the weapons, but grinding them will eventually get old and tiring. That much is true. However, there are more ways to gather light. I mean, you can farm FATE’s, do Treasure Maps, Dungeons or Raids like Coil and CT. None of them will be as fast as farming the Primals, but it can still be used to add some variation to the light farming.

I personally queued up for 5 different HM Primals to farm the Light for my Zeta, so i didn’t get the same Primal over and over again. Because of that, i even helped people get their first Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, Levi, Ramuh, Shiva, Battle of the Big Keep and Ultima run. Especially the people who were stuck at Titan HM were grateful for the help.

I also got a few Primal Cards from it, so i’m actually quite satisfied with it.

The only thing i can say is, don’t force yourself to complete the weapon by grinding the same content (Primal) over and over again. Take a little break every once and a while and get some light through other content as well. We’ve got plenty of it. (^_^ )

Thanks for your advice. Fighting primals is the faster way to earn lights. All I asked for was OTHER ways to "Quiclky Earn lights like: Beast tribe, crafting or thing else. No nerf. I want to keep playing this game and not get bored and stop playing. Thanks again

Just do other things. The majority of the lights for my Nexus SCH book came from doing random things and I made sure to do a lot of different things to keep it fresh, like:

(1) Daily Trial DR
(2) Weekly LotA/ST/WoD
(3) Dungeon spam for Zodiac items
(4) Coil

Sure, you won't get it as fast as primal spamming, but it definitely gets around the monotony of that repetition too.

tldr: THERE ARE TONS OF other WAYS TO DO LIGHTS!
