Upgrading Novus to Nexus

Players needs to speak to Jalzahn in North Shroud (x29,y19) with their Novus Weapon equipped. After completing the Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics quest, players can speak to Jalzahn to choose the weapon to soulglaze. If you are a paladin, make sure to soulglaze both the Curtana Novus and Holy Shield Novus prior to farming "light". With the soulglazed Novus weapon equipped, player will earn light by completing dungeons, trials, FATEs, Treasure Hunt, Alexandrite Maps, and PvP. After gaining enough light and returning to Jalzahn (option "Relic Weapon Novus Enhancement"), the Novus weapon will transform into a Nexus weapon.

You can't get light from The Hunt, Guildhests or any duties in expansions after A Realm Reborn.
The Borderland Ruins (Secure) is the only PvP content that still gives Brilliant light as of Patch 6.1.
- This is almost certainly due to the fact that The Borderland Ruins (Secure) is the only form of PvP available when the weapons were introduced that still remains available.
Undersized Party will gain you light, making speedrunning low level content an alternative to long queues.

Different activities give different amounts of light. Light earned will appear in the chat log after completing the activity. Light levels are Feeble Light (least light), Gentle Light, Blinding Light, Brilliant Light and Newborn Star (most light).

Each type of Light has a secret value that advances your Novus into Nexus. Players will need to reach 2000 light points.

Once the weapon's aetheric activity level has reached "bursting" (2000 light points), speak with Jalzahn in North Shroud (x29,y19) again, and select the "Relic Weapon Novus Enhancement" option to upgrade to Nexus.

Light Points

Light Levels	Light Values
Feeble	8 points
Gentle	16 points

Vigorous Activity	1400-1599

Light Events

Each event you complete has its base value and a bonus, which is usually the tier above it. (NOTE: Bonuses switch out every 2 hours)
For high level jobs, unrestricted runs of The Aurum Vale should be the quickest content for farming light.
FATEs in other expansions also give light, but this isn't recommended solo since your weapon is only iLevel 110.
