How soloable is Eureka nowadays?

[Hasrat]

So, I can make all the replicas and use them as Glam without ever going into BA? That's the main thing I'm concerned with.

Yeah, the replicas stop at the Eureka stage, just prior to Physeos. Physeos is the exact same model, just with Elemental bonus.

I just started Eureka a few weeks ago & still working on it at this point.
Solo is... possible. But the last objective needed to get your weapon done will be hard without assistance, namingly the attempt to spawn (yep, they’re not random) the FATE & to clear it.

Group makes everything faster & most players I see in the zones always notify the whole instance once they spawn a FATE out of courtesy, waiting for like 3-5m to let other players hitch a ride to clear the FATE.

I met somebody who claims to powerlv up to max in just 4 days but I assume that’s probably impossible to do purely solo. (Correct me if I’m wrong)

Solo is easy, just get one of these chest pieces with eureka stats on it.
Once you reached eureka rank 18, you can easily do the weekly challenge log in anemos and get a lot EXP for half a hour work.

As far as is know, every DC has at least 1 active discord server to do BA. This has to be done with a organized group but you mostly just have to listen to call outs and stuff.

It's also helpful to just join fate train groups.
It makes it easier and you don't really have to interact with anyone beside the initial question for a available group.

And a tank full full upgraded BA gear can even solo spawn and kill the island bosses.

Depends how active Eureka is tbh. If it's just you and you have no gear might take a while to start off since you'll have to solo spawn the fates.

Eureka is another one of SE's failed experiments.

Hey at least it's not bad as bozja.

Make sure to stock up some potion of harmony and get that elemental bonus gear.

I'd say it's worse than bozja because at least in Bozja you don't have to manually spawn the Fates. The FFXIV devs REALLY need to fix that because it's not fun having to kill 150+ mobs for a single fate.

And a tank full full upgraded BA gear can even solo spawn and kill the island bosses.

Lets talk about how hard that is to do. You have to :

1) Complete Baldesion Arsenal MULTIPLE times.
2) Get EXTREMELY lucky on all of the Magia increase items or spend millions of gil to buy them on the MB.

Now if every lockbox rewarded a single crystal of the zone you're in (Anemo, Pagos, pyros, hydatos) and the Hydatos ones also dropped a single BA fragment, you could manageably solo your way to the gear.

But as it stands right now, the upgraded gear is simply out of reach for 90% of the casual base and also those who don't subscribe to the third party application Discord.

I don't know about other Data Centers, but Eureka is fairly active in Primal. There is even a discord that organizes BA learning runs on average of 3 days of a week.

I managed to solo all the way through it a couple months back inbetween Bozja patches without too much of an issue. Anemos is generally the slowest part due to not having any attractive rewards, but afterwards it picks up.

it's pretty easy to solo your way to 60 or to recover 60 if you did something stupid

[Jettinson]

While soloing is quite doable, if you see shouts about coordinates for NMs near your positions, might as well join and ask for party.
If you have gil to burn then buy the elemental gear, should help you a lot (i didn't get them and still went absolutely fine), your big EXP boost levelling will come from Challenge Logs where you will inevitably end up killing monsters either way, also you will find faeries that wll grant you more EXP and hgher attack\healing increase.
Be ware that Pagos is the most annoying part, Anemos can be a bit slow but overall not bad since the game is generous on upgrading your relic but the second area is a torture with how the map is designed,so have some patience with that.
From 3rd zone onward, it gets much comfier to solo thanks to the Logos.
