    Nexus light grind.

    I figured this would be the best place for this.

    So I have a couple ideas. Que as DPS for the hard mode primals or grind out Alex maps by myself as a 60 DRG.

    Wondering what of the two may be better or if anyone knows a better way. Working with que times. Hard roulette definitely isn't worth the time.

    Personally, I simply grinded low level fates during the queue times for either Garuda HM or whatever was currently on rotation (Check the reddit on occasion for that).

    My favourite spot was the northern part of middle la noscea, where I could switch over to western when the fates were done.

    How long did it take you? I'm currently in the same rut as the OP where I just started light grinding cause better late than never right?

    It took me about ... 3 days to get all my light and 2 of those days I spent most of the day at work than spent my night playing so it might be doable faster if you have more free time.

    Basically the best thing you can do is farm bonus lights. Maybe other roulettes or fate grind it well you wait for queues. I Mostly just stood around and farmed bonuses well doing story roulette cause it was generally fast and easy, especially being on a tank.

    Roughly two and a half days? I didn't neglect my daily roulettes/beast tribes/Real life over it :P
    I remember breaking the 1600 mark at the end of the second day of farming.

    The whole Scratch to Zeta took about a week I think. Gotta admit however that my mind was not in the best state at the end of it, so I could be a little off.

    About two and half days for me as well. Bulk of the light came from bonus garuda hm. The two hour window still gathers people at least on weekend. Ifrit and shiva are good on bonus as well. Ramuh on bonus is fairly good though slower. Outside of bonus windows I mostly ran garuda hm. This is coming from healer but the principle I assume for dps is the same. If queue times permit, fill them with fates.

    If you say 'pls' because it's shorter than 'please', I say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.
