Quick explanation of Pagos? Been out of the loop for a bit

Wait, so there's a grind within the grind? That's...hmm...

I've had some difficulty getting a group for leveling in Anemos, and then I accidentally stumbled upon the challenge log. I do want the relic, but Pagos sounds like an even greater time sink than Anemos. This light farming sounds like a pain, if a month has passed and Yoshi is saying players haven't figured out the right way. I still have 4.3 to get through, so maybe I'll do it after. Sounds like I'd be wasting my time under 25 anyhow.
