Fastest way to farm light for anima?

[Alestorm]

So I'm getting very close to the light farm phase on my first (and sadly) only anima. What is the fastest way to farm the light?

I've read A1S is the best, but isn't there a weekly lockout for it or can I just reqeue for it over and over?

[Silver-Strider]

No, there is no weekly lockout on A1S
It's the fastest way of getting light, with each run giving a minimal of Robust light each run (higher if on bonus), and usually takes about 5-8 minutes from start to finish with competent DPS.

There is no weekly lockout for A1S. The lockouts would only apply to current raid tiers in the patch they're released. So older Savage content has no lockouts. And the lockouts only really applied to Pages/Chests, not how many times you could queue into the duty.

Some people have also argued that A9S is good too, if you have a group that is efficient and knows what they're doing. There's also no lockout on it either. And you have the potential to get some relevant gear, too. :3

You can do A1s till you are done. I had quite a bit of luck doing Void Ark in terms of light vs time taken (as in 1st raid in michi series)

First there is no lockout on A1S anymore, so you can farm it over and over now - infact there arent any lockouts anymore at all atm.

But to clarify what "lockout" means: it doesnt lock you out from doing that content, it just locks you from rolling on the loot or getting any once-a-week-drops (like the manifestos in Alexander or the coins in the 24man-raids).
So even when content has a lockout you can queue for it as often as you want, you just wont get anymore rewards from it.

Thanks a lot guys, I will be watching a guide when I'm ready to start the grind. Best to have an idea on what's going to happen.

By this point in the game you don't even need to watch mechanics, really. The amount of DPS an 8-man party can put out will usually end the instance in under 4 minutes, so you won't even get to see any of the major mechanics. Just go in there and DPS hard and you'll be fine.

For farming A9S, though, yeah, you'll probably need to watch some guides.

Not to hijack, but does anyone know if you can gather light while on other jobs? Like, can I queue my healer while gathering for a DPS anima weapon?
