Instance Jumping in Eureka

I have seen a lot of people leave the instance after Pazuzu is killed in their current one and try to find a new instance that may not have killed him yet or is close to spawning and when gale weather comes soon. Some do it for the Altar housing item, and some to complete all the relics. My party and I have done it several times, but I mostly do it so I can get sufficient pazuzu feathers ahead of time in case Eureka does die out before 4.3ish. After that I still plan on doing fates to collect enough Anemos Crystals and exchange em for Protean for Relic Gear.

What is your opinion about people instance jumping in Eureka?

They are literally wasting of their own time.

All instances share the same weather conditions, so chances are high that if he's popped in one, he's popped in them all. And even if he hasn't, you still have to kill ghosts and wait for gales which can take anywhere upwards towards 3 hours or more on some occasions. Sometimes it's better to just stay in your current instance and wait for the next respawn. You can get lucky with another instance but it's highly unlikely.

My opinion is it doesn't always work as I've ended up back in the same instance. Also if you end up in relatively new instances the wait times can be similar. As to whether you should do it? I have no problem if people want to do that. In some ways it might be helpful while there is still a lot of activity as lower level players will have better chance to group and gain exp killing mobs to trigger NM's.

I find the constant shouting "Is Pazuzu up in this instance?" to be irritating.

Right, but I have seen another Pazuzu spawn in another instance 3 minutes after killing him from last instance. It was mostly luck. The only times I stop doing it is when I hit a fresh instance, when I hit an old one but someone confirms that Pazuzu hasn't spawned yet, when gales will happen when I have at least 35+ minutes left in the instance I'm currently in, or when I need a breather from Eureka.

Yeah, and that may be but previously, very few people were even level 19/20. Now that we have a bunch in bulk, more often than not, he's usually killed in all instances when he's been spawned in one. At least that's how I have witnessed it from personal observations.

The problem is the instance timer. People are not going to stay in an instance if Pazuzu is their priority if the next gales is in 1hr+ and their timer is lower than that. There's no point since they will just get kicked before it spawns. Might as well leave and find another instance with a fresh timer and possibly open window so you can do something like NM train while waiting for the placeholders to spawn.

I've seen Pazuzu typed in chat so many times now the word has lost all meaning.

For sure they are because all instances share the same weather pattern so odds are if you just finished killing Pazuzu in your instance the other instances have already done the same.

I don't see the problem.
That's the last step to get the weapon.

Once you have every crystals you need to get your full set, and are lvl 20, this is the last thing you want to do in Eureka.

Honestly I'd rather see regular monsters drop an item that would be traded to a mark on the ground to pop the relevant notorious monster.

It annoys me tbh. I won't claim my annoyance is reasonable, and heaven knows I've done it my fair share of times, but man - between this, and the blind invites for being lvl 20 "You SHOULD be killing wraiths!!!! Come!!!!" - I just find it very irritating.

I wonder how many people realize Pazuzu was actually 1 of the 4 crystal-holding bosses in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest... Props to SE for calling upon a game I like but not many do because of how easy it is to beat! He is designed a bit differently in this game though...

Pazuzu far predates FF:MQ; he is a Mesopotamian wind demon. It's rather likely that SE is drawing from actual mythology here for his appearance, which show him having 4 wings.

I honestly think people waste their time doing it. He usually pops in all instances at once. Your best bet is to use a website that shows you weather for Eureka and go in BEFORE his window, and ask if he is able to be spawned. 90% of the time it'll be "yes"

It's an annoying result of the way it's designed. When you only need one boss, it makes sense to try and get that boss rather than sit around somewhere that can't possibly get you anything.

It makes sense. Especially between 5-7pm EST when people get home from work and several fresh instances are popping up.

but 10% of the time it's "no". and staying in the current instance nets them absolutely nothing if they are Level 20, at the very least they refresh their own Eureka timer.

True, if you get a no then you can hop. But again, it's better to try and go before the window and help spawn him killing wraiths, then wait until next time (either farm NMs in the instance you are in then hop when the time is close, or leave Eureka entirely until said time).

Lots of games use mythological things in their concepts. I mean, exactly how many primals aren't based on mythology? I was just mentioning it in so far as the Final Fantasy series, spin-offs included, goes.

Pazu-who? :mad:

While it's true I've left the instance a few times after Pazuzu is killed, it was to go do other things, not find a new instance right away.

A simple 5 min lock out would solve this. Without overly hurting the Experiance of Eureka. That coming from someone that only goes in with FC. And we exit everytime someone hopes on that wants to join in the FC on event night.

One time I was in an instance where pretty much nobody came to help spawn pazuzu, and we only managed to kill 9 wraiths before the night before gales happened. My friend and I abandoned that instance to find another, and pazuzu shortly spawned.

That first instance? is now a place where pazuzu is still ready to be spawned, as soon as "in 20 minutes, when the next gales happens", because people didn't prioritize it. Those instances do exist.

That is why my friend and I instance hopped. Literally all we had left to do in eureka was kill pazuzu, multiple times. If that's literally all we're in eureka for, why the heck should we not instance hop? And why should you be offended when we ask "is pazuzu up?"?

It certainly does not affect you if we're trying to get more pazuzu kills. A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice if you have the information.

because it gets a little tiresome to answer the same question over and over and over again... i would also say it's close to chat spam, but because it's from different persons it's acceptable i guess ^^

i mean i understand the reason why people do instance jumping and asking for Pazuzu - what else should they do? i would do the same if i was interested in Pazuzu kills. but on the other side it's quite annoying xD

but it is, what it is... so i would say we just deal with it.

There isn't anything wrong with instance hopping. People do that to target Pazuzu or other NMs such as Strider. It actually does work a fair amount of the time.

You know what would be a cool effect to add to know if Pazuzu is available or not. Upon defeating Pazuzu, the islands weather should calm down and all the wind/tornado effects disappear including weather effect. It would be a cool visual cue along with showcasing that Pazuzu is so strong he created the torrents of wind.
