    Not for the weapon. At worst, you might have a problem getting the armor, and only for Logograms dropped by heated box.
    And that without even using Logos actions to kill mobs, mainly the Reflect to wreckhigh level sprites.

    Nowhere near FFXI effort too.

    For the record, the very first incarnation of a Relic weapon require more than 10000 Ancient Currencies. At best, a good Dynamis run would initially drop around 200 currencies. But, those currencies were sellable on the market board, entry required an Item that cost 1M Gils and between 40 and 64 people. So basically, once you dropped the Currencies, you frequently had to buy them back from your own Linkshell. Aside from that, you could only enter in Dynamis once every 72 hours and the Key Item was destroyed upon entering, meaning that you had to buy a new item even if you completely fail your Dynamis run.

    Fast forward several years, the entry Item is now a permanent Key Item that cost 50k (Unless you do a quest that grants permanent access), monsters are still level 75 compared to level 99 characters, and there is a proc system so that doing a specific action/Spell/Weapon Skill ensures single-unit currency drop rate, with a rare white proc that ensure 100-unit currency drop. After seeing that, there's no reason Eureka can't be made soloable in ShadowBringers.

    Y: I usually compare FFXIV with a theme park, but the Forbidden Land of Eureka won’t be a place where everyone would want to go. For example, there are people who don’t want to go to horror houses because they don’t see the point in getting scared on purpose. For example, on a date, the boyfriend might want to invite the girlfriend to go the horror house, but the girlfriend just doesn’t seem to find it fun. In other words, it’s not like everyone wants to go to the horror house, but there are people who just love the adrenalin rush they get from it. Think of Eureka as something like that.
