Its worth doing Eureka on 2023?

Im starting to collect relics for everyone of my jobs (Zodiac for white mage, Anima for dragoon/ninja/bard/summoner, Resistance for warrior). So since the only one that I lack is Eureka grind, the summoner weapon caught my eye, so instead of Anima im planning on getting the Eureka weapon.

So is Eureka doable nowadays? Its is worth the time/ my sanity and how much was it nerfed respect to release? Ty for any answer

Yes, it is worth it, frankly. If you do the relics for Eureka, you will naturally accumulate the requisite poetics for getting any other anima weapon, and poetics aside these grinds are just a joke now. It's significantly easier to do, but it is still very much a boring experience for Anemos and Pagos.

Further, it does have BA locked behind it, which is a fairly enjoyable raid to do if you don't mind looking on Discord for groups running the content.

It's fine, the bulk of it is FATE farming with extra steps, and if you vibe with that it's gonna be a fun time, BA at the end is fun but it is also rather time-consuming, I've had BA runs take up to 2 hours because Ovni was feeling upty and that can be a deal breaker for some people due to the unpredictability, you can either get a spawn as soon as you step in the instance and get it done in 40 minutes, or you can get in the instance as soon as Ovni dies, wait half hour for him to spawn again, realize the instance locked at some point between the last Ovni's death and now, have to leave the instance, get a fully fresh, brand new instance, which means you have to wait another half hour, and that's a full hour gone before you even got into BA proper.

It's basically "archaic MMO design" on steroids, so if you are fine with that, go nuts.

Yes it's fun! Might do it again on one of mine that hasn't done it.

It's soloable. It's much more comfortable if you do it with your weekly challenge logs.

You'll spend most of your time solo leveling, and when you reach the cap for each areas or get close, people will then want to actually invite you to groups to spawn notorious monsters and hunting those.

It's perfectly doable. SE nerfed it so that you can spawn NMs on your own (google for Eureka Tracker to see maps and track respawn times and required mobs). You don't have to fight the big boss NM that requires lots of players anymore because you can exchange the crystals that drop from NMs for the item your weapon needs. You can still join the discord servers to do BA runs as well.

I would also argue it is one of the most fun pieces of content in the game. It's nice and peaceful being there and it completely takes you away from the same old dungeons, trials and raids you are usually doing and gives you something a bit different.

Both Eureka and Bozja, in case you missed that one as well. There's always people active in the zones that create groups and everyone seems to always be having a good time, honestly.

For one it's probably doable. You do need a significant number of crystals even for just one that only come from NMs so you're going to be FATE farming a LOT. And then there's a light grind in Pagos that's required and then optional only in later zones if you want to worry about stats afterward. If you just want to glam, you don't need to worry about BA since the final glam comes from the Eureka version. BA just allows a different version with upgraded stats.

You'll mostly be leveling from your challenge log and then NM parties if you can get into them. It can be difficult at least on Aether since the zones will be active for a bit (except Anemos which seems to always be active) but then die very quickly once the big money NMs are down or the instance gets locked so people instance hop to a fresh one.

The only thing you can't solo in Eureka is the Baldesion Arsenal, but you don't actually need it if all you're after in there is glamour. It's worth going into for Ozma, though. It can still be a bit of a grind if you're flying solo, but it really isn't all that bad.

You missed the boat on Eureka. The best part was the banter and the eternal fight between afkers and spawners in shout chat. Oh, and this was back in 2019 or something so lots of Trump and Biden.
