[Dev Request] Born Again Anima Light/Density Grind Change

[Riki_Adams]

I, like a lot of people, love the design of the final Anima weapons. However, as the Aetheric Density only work for HW content and has never been nerfed the grind is even worse as everyone is working on the new content.

Before you could do Alex but that was still 150ish runs which were a huge time sink. Now the weapons are replaced why have we not seen a fix to the grind?

Now that expert is SB as well that means we lost that as a way to grind. The raids were also good for it but again the popularity of those mostly dead too.

The weapons were amazing to look at now its much more work to get an obsolete weapon just for the glamor.

Please nerf this stage or do something to make the light grind easier for the glamor.


Thank you

You're doing it.

It's old content.

Working as intended. No need to fix.

[Riki_Adams]

But old content should still be accessible and easier. They nerfed most of the other steps. Hell Umbrite was nerfed twice, the second time along with the 4.0 patch. In fact the only grind stage not nerfed was this stage.
It was working as intended but now the game has changed and grown and the older content needs too as well. Think of the original 3 raids, no one was running them, so they added the Aether Oil and all of the sudden people ran it like crazy again.

Everything in the game has been made easier for glamour or to help newer players, except this.

Now that expert is SB as well that means we lost that as a way to grind.

If you were using DR:Expert for weapon condensation, all you have to do now for the equivalent is queue for the last two Heavensward dungeons. You lost nothing.

I am not sure about nerf, not someone who farms light. But you used to get light from pvp shatter. Shatter was popping regularly prenerf. If you are pre 70 get xp and 50 poetics post 70 get 50 poetics and verity. Not great, but not a slap in the face. If you like playing as another class in pvp. If you hit return at about 1400 points if you know ice isn't about to break and instant end. You can change to job with weapon and get light. Just need to be out of combat and return for switch.

PvP still give light.

I think the final nerf to the Anima questline will be in 4.1
Wasn't the final nerf to the Zodiac questline not in 3.1, too?

[YitharV2]

I did Frontlines for the anima condensation grind. That's my recommendation.

Just manually que for the HW dungeons you don't need to do it as a roulette to count.
