What's going to happen with Eureka's "The Baldesion Arsenal" 1 to 2 years from now?

[Nezerius]

It'll probably end up being dead, like the Diadem Emergency Mission.

The obvious question: what's going to happen to the Arsenal 1 to 2 WEEKS from now? That's about how long it took for Diadem's Emergency Missions to quit happening...
I'm slightly more worried that Eureka as a whole won't be doable the instant Shadowbringers drops. But hopeful that means they'll give us an alternative way to get the relic glamour, or make the whole non-Arsenal place honest-to-Zodiark soloable within a non-soul-destroying amount of time.

As for now all past relics are obtainable. I imagine they'll provide a way to acquire the one from eureka too.

All past relics have been obtainable solo / duty finder from day 1, so changes were never really required (some steps even naturally nerf themselves as the level / gear cap increases).

Eureka is an entirely different story and would require significant changes / massive nerfs to allow a small group or solo player any reasonable chance of completing it.... in short, unless they feel like wasting development resources on it in future, it will remain dead.

Unless something changes I assume Eureka in a year or twos time will be full of level 80's, you have to be level 70 to enter but once inside you can change to a job that's at whatever level you like.

Even if ilvl sync is still in place ten extra levels should make things a bit easier.

[Mansion]

This question has always puzzled me really. I'm not sure higher levels will have any difference because eLvl is capped and iLvl too.
So unless they scrap eLvl off, allow you to crash in level 80 and outlevel solo-kill anything, it's not likely that Eureka will live on after 5.0. And even after the nerfs, it still requires dedication to get through all the steps.

It's a bit sad because the maps and the system (while flawed) do have their own charm. I understand they put a good amount of resources in there, it would be a shame to have it basically disappear in a matter of months.

It will be dead 1-2 years from now, that’s just how ffxiv content is designed. It lasts for a few months then something “new” fills the spot. I put new in “” marks because it’s not really new, it’s the same content just reskinned with higher numbers.

The only reason to do it will be glamours, but good luck finding 56 people willing to help you farm something for vanity. Maybe if you’re in a big FC that hosts events you’ll be able to get people in there, same as diadem.

You don't even need 56 people to do the Arsenal. A well organized group of 24 (three parties) can likely clear it. Things will go even smoother with the elemental gear and weapons and the right combination of logo actions.

And that just for clearing it. You can probably get the glams with fewer numbers if you just want to farm the first two bosses and the chests. It just requires more planning than the usual dungeon grind.

And that is just how things are now. I can see nerfs coming at some point making it much more doable with smaller numbers.

It'll die faster than a Hippie's t-shirt at a jam festival

[Shougun]

It would be nice if for these old party like content (diadem, Eureka) you can bring in your squadron/trust in a way that makes them viable still (past their time of death). I was thinking blue mage might also be able to make these contents viable, but they'll need to be buffed up more than they are right now (imo, tank of equal level tanks better than blue mage).

I hope they can find some means to let people go back on these old contents like that~

[Bsrking5]

It'll die as fast if not faster then diadem making it an absolute nightmare for anyone late to it.
