    Relics are very obtainable. Soloable if you want to buy your marrows even.

    Mythics while time consuming, are now soloable (for the most part) as well. While you might get unlucky with Nyzul if you try that, chances are someone else either needs tokens or blue magic that will help. The HNM part may be the most challenging thing about this.

    Depending on the emp, this is also soloable, or at the very least duoable. I do agree that either procs need to be adjusted or key items made a guarantee, when I'm pulling 10k+ victory smites on Orthus... on puppetmaster, the content can hardly be called unobtainable.

    Remember, R/E/M are supposed to be legendary weapons. I think SE has given us pretty good viable alternatives like wkr, skirmish, delve, and roe weapons with merittable weaponskills, plus the ability to unlock mythic ws and now empyrean.

    At least you can theoretically sell beitetsu... I wouldn't recommend feeding them to a moogle ,_.

    Releics are not soloable. Wins in dynamis are impossible to solo because of instant death and there is no way to gather that much currency unless you spend years. There is no way to make money to buy items because all the items worth selling take a party to acquire.

    You can't unlock Mythics without climbing nyzul isle. It is impossible to climb because of lamp floors. Daily assault restrictions also hinder this and the alexandrite.

    the equipment you're talking about to get that WS damage and the WS itself are impossible to solo.

    beitetsu can not be sold because no one wants to buy them. the market has been flooded with help for players who are assholes while people struggling to get by are ignored.

    Dynamis wins are soloable. On pet jobs or rune fencer- I have in fact soloed Dynamis Lord on rune fencer. It doesn't mean I recommend it- the game is always more fun with other people, I'm just saying if push comes to shove, you can solo a relic (including buying some of your currency). I casually worked towards making an aegis and it took one year, farming currency a few times a week, and by doing other Gil generating content like void watch, salvage, and delve (when airlixirs were profitable).

    How about Angra Mainyu?

    One has to get to Dynamis - Xarcabard before one solos anything in there.

    I can't say from personal experience but RUN with Darkness Runes, BST, SMN, PUP, and a number of other jobs should be able to solo him with great ease now days, just need to /DNC and tank the dragons while your pet works its magic.

    soloable by SAM before the 99 cap: meikyo shisui skill chaining one shots it. Also, not sure what's the stress about xarcabard access. You will need it for your last stage, but xarcabard is not the best way to get coins, its dreamlands dynamis, which only require CoP diabolos clear.

    No they are not. Instant death makes them impossible.

    Currency collection takes years because there is no way to make gil to buy extra currency.

    I'm done responding to the "nuh uh" trolls. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're too stupid to reply to my thread so please stop.

    Yes they are lol. And here is how (speaking from successful experience):
    For the bosses that cast death (to my knowledge none insta-cast death)– you have at least two options. Using a pet job like BST. Let the pet do all the work, sub dnc and have steps ready before you pop it. If you see it casting death, use violent flourish. If you don't stun it in time, you can likely finish it off and/or resummon a new pet.

    Option #2: Rune Fencer with 3 dark runes up– I personally haven't cleared the towns on Rune Fencer solo, only NQ Dynamis Lord, but again, subbing dnc and being ready to stun death is ideal, and the likelyhood you'll straight up resist it is pretty good, especially with gear that increases resistance to death (I believe there are one or two pieces that can be sold on the AH in addition to the gear DL drops himself).

    @Ziyyigo-Tipyigo: I haven't tried soloing beaucidine, but I might tonight on pup. Last time I helped a friend clear it we didn't have any trouble with three people (bst, whm, thf).

    As far as making gil, here are some viable suggestions:
    #1 Salvage. You can easily solo Arrgapogo Remnants II on a variety of jobs. I've personally done it on Puppetmaster, Blue Mage, Ninja (though I think on NIN I wasn't able to defeat the armored chariot quickly enough). I even have a friend who regularly solos it on WHM/NIN (no joke). Even if you don't bother to farm all of the gears and just go straight for the HQ Boss, you'll get between 60-100 alexandrite, and people are buying those like candy. On my server, average going rate is 12K each.

    Do salvage casually, say, three times a week, you're looking at making 2.1M-3.6M a week, or 11.4M per month, or 136.8M in one year (again, that's only going 3 times a week).
    If you're willing to pay 8k for single dynamis currency, buying the currency for an excalibur will cost you 143M gil.

    Other gil generating activities that can be done solo:
    Moblin Maze Mongers. Check if your server has mazes available to do the NMs (mine does). You can go in on nearly any job and solo these, and they drop items required for reforging AF gear often times. These can be hundreds of thousands of gil.

    Crafting! Again, with the way AF armor is reforged, crafters are back in high demand. Consumable items are always in demand as well. I personally don't have a super high level craft, but my cooking is high enough to make pet food and biscuits that generate a nice chunk of change.

    Selling Aht Urhgan currency (yes people still buy this on the AH). Doing some Besieged will get you a lot of points now.


    So assuming you do some dynamis farming here and there, and just one of the activities in additon to salvage you can legitimately create a relic in about one year without being a hardcore player.

    I specifically mentioned that one because it casts Death repeatedly for the duration of its Chainspell.
