What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Galactimus]

Much like all of the previous relic steps people often complain loudly before making a -serious- attempt at the content. It's going to be a grind for sure but I imagine Level 20+ Elemental mobs, with large EXP chains, combined with the islands Fate's and Notorious Monsters are going to make this go by way quicker then it seems.

People screaming about it in Kugane, how they've wasted their time.

One FC member said it was boring. A grindfest.

Sigh--this can't be a good sign...

First Impressions is what sells people on content and I'm seeing a lot of negative First Impressions.
I will wait and see but right now the reward doesn't seem to fit the grind.

Also it seems like if you do get it on this 1st wave of people doing it. In 8 weeks time if you haven't completed your upgrades the content will be dead like so much that se spends time on, unless they force or give people a damn good reason to do content next patch it's behind us.

say it aint so I saw a few of the glowy weapons , and they looked gorgeous. And to know that I'm just going to be killing mobs for the rest of my life to get them breaks my heart.

I hope your right! Maybe it'll be funner further down the road.

its for relic a grind fest was always going to be that way, plus the relic is only a really great weapon when this expansion wraps up. I don't know maybe the EU/NA community and JPN community and dev team ideas have branched off so much that they can't seem to hit the mark nowadays.

I’m at work right now, so basically this is a super heavy grind for an i355 weapon with 5 materia slots? Is there a gathering aspect like Diadem?

[RenOkamiya]

A) the eureka gear is designed for outside eureka, not inside. It is a reward for doing the content, not an aid for within the content.

B) We dont know what drop rates are like at higher levels and from better mobs, and the strategy might change at higher levels.

C) People need to stop presuming they know the entirety of the content from spending 5mins inside. Its fine if you don't like it, but don't presume to know the impact that it has on the rewards or the rest of the game from such limited experience.

A - Sure, I get that, and I said it would be useless outside as well giving the ilvl you can get for the amount of stuff you have to grind.

B- We may not know, but when have you ever seen FF14 giving you upgrade related token by pack of 100+? Basically the protean are spoils from diadem, lockboxes are surely the same thing as well. I'm assuming it, but I don't think I'm going to be far from the truth here.

C- I never said I knew all, just that it's poorly design for the time we had to wait for it.

Throw away content like Diadem. Only thing is they're forcing those who want a relic to do it while it was only subpar gear in Diadem... Now we get both! A relic and subpar gear... woohoo. This will probably be the only relic I don't keep up with sadly.

Waiting for nerfs already. I don't want to spend hours zerging monsters for rare drops for a weapon that isn't any better than my Byakko. To be fair I usually did relic for glamour but again... no thanks...

[Derio]

So having a previous relic weapon does not help you like it did with HW? That is lame
