A Relic Reborn Quest Adjustments?

[Javarr]

Okay, so some of the updates to the Relic Reborn / Zodiac quest lines are pretty cut and dry as to what they did, like maps now dropping 5 Alexandrite. Others on the other hand, not so much. Such as the Novus phase (And I'd guess Zeta by proxy) and the light collection.

Question becomes this: Has anyone found any information on HOW they adjusted the lights? I have a feeling (judging my my own weapon) that the amount of lights for each tier was adjusted, by how much, I have no idea. Also, has there been any evidence of the values received being changed? I've done some searching but have found nothing solid.

As an extra note: To anyone that was doing the gathering stage: what's the drop rates of the dungeon Key Items looking like now?

I'm in the same boat! I was happy about the Alexandrite but I can't find any good current Light collection sources I do seem to get Brilliant Light on low level dungeons like Sastasha but it's killing me when as a dragoon I have to tank because there are quite a few new people who have just figured out their roles yet

I recall reading in the patch notes that they increased the amount of light obtained... and I was at about 1000-1199 light when HW hit. I've just done regular leveling, hitting the fates and done all the new dungeons up to level 55 ONCE and I've increased a level. I haven't done anything other than some fates, questing and a total of THREE dungeons on my WHM and I am at the next level... so I dunno what that's sipposed to say... I mean how do you KNOW how much light you are getting PRECISELY since it only goes up in incrememts of 200 and the most light you can gt from something before was only 16

Alright, so just did some Garuda HM in bonus and from what I can gather, it looks like the lights have doubled. 9 runs caused a stage change and I had some into the stage already. 9 / 200 gives about 22.22. Taking into account the runs I had before 3.0, 16 sounds about right for Bright. So with that, the new light totals would like like this?

Feeble: 4
Gentle: 8
Bright: 16
Brilliant: 24
Blinding: 48
Newborn Star: 64

More testing needs to be done to confirm, but that is what it's looking like so far.
