Does anyone think that Eureka is FFXIV version of FFXI Dynamis?

[ManuelBravo]

You are...actually...comparing...Dynamis...with this trash?

v1 dynamis , not current.

I think I've seen more people compare this to Abyssea than Dynamis.

Wow an honest answer that makes sense and can relate easy in simple words. Yeah your probably right. I can see that, relation as well.

Pretty much. It's Abyssea with anything that made it interesting left out.

10 kill byakko = ilvl 355 weapon
loooong eureka farm = ilvl 355


Byakko give same, faster.
And i think there is more fun in killing 10 time byakko than spending endles hours in this.

in 4.38 relic will reach 375 (because... Yoshida said relic weapon wouldnt have more ilvl than end game content for example?)
in 4.4, new weapon 405, a 390 weapon to buy, a primal with around 390 (maybe 395?) and relic will probably have to wait to level again more.


How do i know this? i just watched what was for ARR (2.2+)/HW relics



In FFXI, relics weapon stayed in your hand for... months not weeks

Nothing compared to ff11, in ff11 stuff was useful, Eureka's stuff is already obsolete so what is the point to farm for "nothing"

Because it's not obsolete. In fact, the item level was set to what it is to prevent raid gear from being obsolete already.

Everyone seems to look at content like "Oh how will this apply to my main job" when they're forgetting that this is for glamour/alt job gearing. Yes, you can buy stuff off of the market board but not everyone is rich and can afford gear off the MB that is still 700k or higher a piece; and that's without the price for materia to pentameld included. Omega gear is locked behind a weekly atm. In addition, relic gear has the potential and opportunity to have updates enhancing the item level further than it's current like relic weapons generally do each and every expansion. When the next update happens, I'll be ready to work on the next farm for that level item boost while everyone else is still on the first stage because a few levels at the time made them neglect it. I'm treating this as an investment gain. Relic is "never" BiS until the final patch before an expansion.

v1 dynamis , not current.

V1 dynamis was nothing like this stuff. Dynamis used to be carefully planned out and was some sort of raid where you had to know what to pull, when and how to deal with the pulls. Dynamis required a lot of coordination out of 18 to 36 players.

Byakko/memoquartz/omega give better stuff and faster than this content for my subjobs, don't blame me, i just give a fact and i have never said my answer was the best, think what you want.

(i have finished my scholar relic and i thought eureka would bring some nice/useful stuff but it doesn't cause, the time you will waste for that, a new patch will come and it will ruin your efforts.)

Imo they would have made Eureka available at stormblood launch

[RiyahArp]

Vivi, the pieces start at ilvl 335.

Its useless even for alts. The amount of time to get it up to something that's inferior to Sigma normal is insulting. They delayed eureka and didn't even change the ilvl; we should have had this in 4.1, the grind would have been tolerable then.

I fail to see how gear with two materia slots that cannot be pentamelded is "better" than something with 5 perfect slots. It's faster, I give you that, but you still have to grind for it anyway. (There is a difference between something being worth it and something just flat out being superior). Furthermore, this gear will likely be expanded upon with higher tiers of upgrades in future patches. I also mentioned that this is for Glamouring. Everyone want's to preach glamour is the true endgame, but when it comes to the relic quests, then that philosophy seems to no longer apply.

[Loki]

boop.

Once again it depends of everyone's personnal playtime, i was motivated for my main relic cause the ilv/stats were interesting for me and the relic quests were added in a better time in the game than Eureka. Concerning glamour i think it's too much time some stuff we already have but with some diffrent colours.

Maybe you will be right in futur, but actually, Eureka is a bit disapointing imo.
