Thread: Nexus Light Grinding in 3.0

As soon as that light window opens the df gets flooded with players that can easily carry any new people with little to no loss of time.

Why have Garuda kills slowed so badly? :\

Was 2.5 minutes when I did my relics in ARR

yeah already spent like 40k seals so restocking seals back to 50k then 40 spent

do a few dungeons=done? they boosted how much light you get, so i guess you could get it done with some daily roulettes.

supposedly ppl with zeta, will get a boost, and skip first step - but we don't know what this step is - it would be really hysterical if the step is easier than grinding nexus light, and people are making this mad scramble, to get more zetas, atm.

Not accounting for windows, you'd need to run something like 84 dungeons for 2k light.

AND how how do u know how many points u have ?

The Zodiac glass gives you an estimate.

No Activity: 0 - 199
Indistinct Activity: 200-399
Faint Activity: 400-599
Slight Activity: 600-799
Modest Activity: 800-999
Distinct Activity: 1000-1199
Robust Activity: 1200-1399
Vigorous Activity: 1400-1599
Intense Activity: 1600-1799
Extreme Activity: 1800-1999
Bursting Activity: 2000+ (Complete)

As a point of reference, a FATE gives 4.

I think they have to make it a relatively easy step, or allow people who switched mains to still get the reward. I grinded my Zeta when it was relevant, but I mained Bard for all of 2.0. I switched mains to DRK for 3.0, but we can't do a relic for DRK. Am I going to get to skip this step if I fork over my Zeta bow? Can I use a Zeta bow to skip a DRK relic step? Or am I just screwed? Or does no one know this yet?

No one knows. Its possible having a zeta wont get any bonus. We'll just have to wait and see.

The consideration is because you took the time to grind the zeta on that particular Job.
The new Jobs don't have Zeta weapons, so there's no way they'll get that.
It's not like the second relic you grind is easier than the first. The system doesn't give relic compensation if you switch Jobs.

I mean, once you have a zeta you'll get to skip, but it will probably only be on the Job you have it for.

They said recently you'll get to skip a step. We don't know how much that is, but you'll get something.

Ah cool. Must have missed it. I assume its in the live letter?
