Pagos light farming..let's compare notes

[ManuelBravo]

I'm starting to get the impression the devs designed it deliberately in a way to discourage people from camping a particular spot. So if your grinding the same mob over and over your penalised for it in the form of reduced light gain.

I'm having a similar thought so we decided to mix it up a bit with sprites once they spawned near by to keep chain going, seems alternating mobs helps a bit as long as your able to receive xp from it. Also decided to try it with same element for defense. While our DPS did go a bit a lower we tried it with 37 mobs and took them down about same speed as normal high end 40's. We did get some bright lights as well. Could be a coincidence still need more testing :/

People have been tossing the idea of getting brilliant lights from killing high level elementals on the 10,20 and 30 chains, but as of yet have found a group willing to test the theory. Any progress on that being proven at all?

I've wondered since some get good light from certain mobs while others don't, does our God's elemental affinity we choose at character creation play a part? Similar to the way the elemental wheel works?

Has anyone tested if the potion of harmony has any effect on light gains?

Only applies to XP, tested over 25 times including; weather,mobs, Relic, and normal weapons.

When I go in I have group, if people are a not available we make a post on party finder. We only look for 15 min if not we under man it to what is within our limits. Normally 6 min for 39-40 mobs , 35-37 trio. Along the ways we do Anubis or Dragon shouts and once they sent a tell we explain our procedure and it's up to them if they want to join or not. Problem is most people like to afk or don't want to waste time experimenting. SO we sometimes rather not deal with it and only do it within our group.

It's not hard to start a group just need to set firm rules and be flexible to their Fate needs. Example we only go to Top tier Fates bottom once we just ignore. We get more light and xp just doing what we are doing than traveling to those fates.

So far dragon+top nms with a party finder group have been the best light farm runs for me, get 5-7 bars worth during full runs. Though everytime we have had issues with people trying to steal spots...

...the twist is that they seem to give more light if the weather matches their weakness and attribute.

Second; some of them are were using their Pagos Elemental weapon and seem to accumulate somewhat more light at a faster rate. ...

Thanks for sharing these points. Tested these two solo for a brief period of 15 mins before the King Anthro spawn groups came in and I made way for them.

I spliced together my screen caps so the relevant information is in one place.



Will have to test it again under similar circumstances (weather, elemental buff) to see if the results are similar.

After the flowers pt above I joined a dragon farm pt just because I wanted to compare and after 90 minutes of constant back and forth with them I still hadn't even gotten a single full bar and that even includes the light from the cow nm that spawned nearby. From my exp When you kill dragons or elementals on the 5s and 10s they seem to give a nice jump in light more often than not while spamming just the dragons themselves give tiny little slivers every now and then.

If you killed the dragons near the cow NM that is the wrong dragon and that’s why you were obtaining so little light. The dragons you want are the sleeping frozen void dragon.

I'm curious what the best mob would be to try solo light farming on?
