not sure exactly how it works...but

in coast, i noticed getting 128 azure off of murex, but in chasm i would only get 16, maybe it is zone specific?

Yeah, I am almost certain it is zone-specific.

Avatars meaning non-VNM.
After killing bhumi multiple times, I realized he does not always give 128 amber. While Murex's almost always give 128 azure in Misareaux

Pretty sure it's based on the zone's bastion status. (For vunk/atto/misa anyways)

it is because Lights are connected on how you read the mob(specifically on ephemereals).

Easy prey -> poor lights

Very tough -> good lights

this was introduced in november update i believe, when they basically designed mobs to despawn after levelling up.

basically more people are in the zone farming lights and better it is for lights.

If what you say is correct about the avatar's giving 128 for amber this will deff come in handy farming those Dark rings I have been after. I will test this out. Getting desperate for fast amber build.

I've had that happen too, sometimes Ephermal give only 5, other times they can give up to a whopping 128. Haven't been able to figure out what triggers it, if anything.

As you've all noticed by now some mobs seem to favor one type of killshot can give ~128 lights/per kill if you kill with that type

Avatars - ~128 Amber light

I'd love to hear more information about this.
Getting 128 amber lights from killing an avatar NM sounds MUCH more efficient than killing a few dozen normal mobs for 5 amber lights per kill.

Are you saying that all avatar NMs like Bhumi, Jala, and Fulmontodoro give 128 amber lights each kill?

-Misereaux Coast now gives 64 lights. All Avatars all Ephemeral Murex and all Ephemeral Amoeban give 64 lights max for their specialty light. Not 128 like the previous zones.
Was there a few nights ago.
Murex still gave 128 Azure and Jala still gave 128 amber each.

In my experience, it is. Did Mis Coast and La Theine last week. Carby gave 128 amber, as did Jala. 100% of the time (even though I think it can vary depending on other stuff).

This applies to Josiah too.

There's a problem for Attohwa's Avatar Tejas. I think since may update I have never seen Tejas at all. I even tried widescanning it and it was never seen since then.

I haven't spent much time in Attohwa, but the last few times I've been there I don't remember seeing any Ifrits =o Will check it out when I can and submit something to SE if needed.

Thank you very much for your efforts on this topic, Josiah.
I eagerly await more details/info when you have time to continue your testing.

Bravo.

Yeah thats part of why I believe attohwa and vunkel are glitching. Over 2 weeks ago both Fulmontodore and Tejas stopped spawning

Honestly, now that you mention it, I haven't seen Fulmon or Tejas lately. I remember looking for Fulmon around the bridge to Sippoy a few times been working on getting another diamond ring for blm... I just haven't been able to find him, other people may be killing but to not see him in any of his usual locations is odd.

Also I noticed the worms near Uluadashi / Pallid Percy seem to give excellent pearl lights

Nope, we capped Amber and Azure just 3 days ago with 2 Jala and 2 Murex

Because I don't see it mentioned anywhere else,

Does the abyssite a person is holding when they get the killshot effect the number of lights in any way?

For example things like;

*The bearer will come upon treasure caskets more frequently in Abyssea.
*The bearer will experience greater fortune with golden pyxides in Abyssea.
*The bearer will experience greater fortune with red pyxides in Abyssea.

etc..

Was wondering if stacking these effected the lights you get in some way when killing? Or do they just effect the chance a chest drops when you kill an enemy?
