So, how is Pagos?

So does this mean that the train is 100% back and you can level and light farm with that alone or is chaining still required?

Chaining would help, but nm train is feesible got light IMO. Went in there to upgrade a weapon and ended up doing Horus and Snow Queen since they were up. Walked away with almost a full bar from only those two NM. Horus obviously gave me more, but Snow Queen’s chunk was very noticable.

Are trains running again now?

Tbh I wouldn't care if the train was slower as long as it was viable and they were active.

Trains have been active, even prior to this update, at least on my datacenter.

As for "viable," it counts on your definition of viable.

Last night, within 1.5 hours of Pagos play time in the train I was able to get two full bars of light from NMs. NMs spawned: King Igloo, Snow Queen, Agab, Lohui, Eyes, and Behemoth.

I consider two bars for 1.5 hours as more than viable.

For those of us who aren't up to speed, how many are needed for the weapon?

You need 31 Frosted Crystals so you need to fill up and convert them 31 times total. Plus 500 Pagos Crystals and 5 Louhi Ice. Per weapon.

Pagos. After anemos, how many people even bothered? not me lol.

To expand on this, counting on what you are focusing on would determine its viability to you.

Going the NM route will get you light for the Frosted Crystals*, an average of 12 Pagos Crystals per NM, and a small amount of Genysis seals.

The question becomes what do you want to focus on during a Pagos trip? For me, I want to tackle getting Pagos Crystals, generating lights, getting exp, and getting tomestones. The train will be the best viable path to take.

If I want to focus solely on Light, chaining may still be the best option.
If I want focus on getting tomestones quickly, I don't go into Pagos, I do DR.
If I want to focus on getting those 500 Pagos Crystals, the train route will be the best viable route.

The buff to light is very noticeable. If I hadn't already had about 30% of the Pagos crystals I needed for my second weapon, I think there's a decent chance I'd have gotten the light before the crystals. I think I've killed maybe 15 NMs since the buff and I've gained ~6 bars of light.

It’s still terrible and no one is queing/playing this content. Just like Daidumb.
