Eureka isn't that bad, had some fun today

This bear is awesome, we died a lot, we chat a little...
at least it's better than the random 4 man dungeons....

The content isnt to bad whats bad is I have been playing for 6 hours and have 24 protean crystals, I need 4300 for my full set which is I 350. I have crafted dark knight gear better than this already

If you are playing Eureka solely for the gear, then you aren't going to have a fun time. I'm playing to increase my level and find out what secrets the island has, and I'm having fun doing so.

It seems a lot of people went into Eureka expecting to plow through it like all the other content in the game. Its meant to take a long time.... take your time, there is no rush.

No, I did expect it to be a grind. Even a long one.
I expected it not to be an awefully boring, diadem-like nightmare though. But instead something that might be fun and engaging. It isnt. Its "Kill this mob. And then that one. And then 30 more of them. And then change your elemental wheel so you can kill the next 20 slightly faster".

I mean, maybe the content is just not for me, but I cant see how "standing in one spot with 8 people to kill mobs over and over again for hours" is fun to anyone?
And before you tell me that your fun comes from the chats you're having while doing that: Thats fun thats not related to the content at hand. Thats fun you could have by standing around with that party in Kugane. Its not game-fun. Its social fun that you need to create yourself... not fun the devs created during the last 17? 18? months.

I have over 64 and I have not been playing for the same amount of time as you. I suspect you are not playing the content efficiently...

I've been enjoying myself in Eureka quite a bit. It's grindy, for sure, but after playing Ragnarok Online for 4 years as a teen this stuff is a cakewalk (and also makes me realize how old I am, haha!) And I keep seeing people mention how few Crystals they have, but after 6 hours I already have my WAR axe upgraded once (100 Crystals) and could very well upgrade an armor piece if I decided to trade in my Anemos Crystals. So I don't know if it's luck or a difference in how we're approaching the grind that's giving us such varying amounts of crystals.

350 (355 weapon) is fine for now, that puts it on par with Sigma normal and Byakko weapon.

As well as crafted gear. Crafted gear and the Byakko weapon being a lot faster to obtain.

I honestly think it's not even that long, with the right optimization at least the first weapon can be done in 1 lockout even less, frankly I blame totems and tomes for the too much backlash that ppl do with ANY form of long term goal which imho is a problem.


@nezerius they are 120 substats (80 for crafted) better than those gears, not much but they add up eventually, if the next steps brings them to 360 with the next patch they might interfere with ultimate imho
