So, how is Pagos?

Something that annoys me: The light farm.

That bloody kettle won't kill, no matter how many mobs in my level range i kill i get nothing.

Only NM's ever give anything, and even then only feeble light.

Is it just the RNG spitting at me, or am i doing something wrong here?

No, that's just how it works. Only NM will fill the kettle.

No, that's not true at all. It's just that the light is more like Protean Crystals from Anemos. So, you can get them from killing mobs, it's just that if you're in a group that's killing mobs 5-7 levels higher than you have a better chance. I've heard suggestions that there might be bonuses as well, but no confirmation.

I found that the proportion of light I got from chains was a lot more than the amount from NMs, but it's going to depend on which NMs spawn and your level. I'm only level 27, so that limits the NMs that give me light.

The vast majority of my light has been obtained from chaining enemies.

Getting a higher chain count increases the chance of gaining light and defeating an adapted/mutated monster seems to guarantee a light gain, as well.
