Eureka is extremely boring. How do I change that?

There were few things I personally did to achieve that in the past:
• Eye for the Cassie prep groups, ideally 1-2 weathers before Blizzard weather sets in. Being in these pre-prepper groups yields you so much lights you’re usually guaranteed to overcap your kettles at least twice or thrice per session.
• A purely solo farm would be chaining or mass pulling mobs 2-3 levels above you. On bonus side, try to kill an undead/sprites on #20 or #30 chain to fish for 1 full bar of light bonus (this bonus part is anecdotal from my own experience, take it as a grain of salt). Mind you, this is very mind-numbing even with full elemental gears.

You can hit me up if you see me loitering in-game. If I’m able to at the moment, I’ll give you a hand.

I was doing pretty good 30 chaining goobues at night and world serpents during the day. 36 moocows by the aetheryte aren't too bad either but that gets interrupted by spawners coming and razing them all. I was using GNB at first and it was fine, but RPR can tear through those like butter and I have some Eureka potions for backup to crest, second wind, and bloodbath since they can hit a bit hard sometimes. Was getting good gentle and bright light. I just started trying to solo chain stuff last night before maint so I'm going to see how I do against some 37 stuff.

I've only been back in Eureka for a few weeks now but I've never seen anyone doing anything with Cassie. Guess I'm just missing the spawns. I mosey over to Louhi when the NM train is getting it ready since I can use those ices and save on crystals. And I might pop onto a NM if it's nearby. It just doesn't seem worth it trying to chase the train around getting some solo farming in.

I like Pyros better as a zone but I'm not looking forward to that next relic step since you can only get crystals from NMs. Yay, endless FATE farming. At least that light step is optional. I haven't looked at what the tedium of Hydatos will be yet.

I think it really depends on your goal. If it’s solely to light farm in Pagos uninterrupted, I would suggest picking mobs that aren’t regularly farmed to spawn easy NMs. Thunder Dragons (spawns Behemoth but limited to Thunderstorm weather) & mobs in the narrow pathway around the northern bunny are decent for this purpose specifically. Moocows are great alternative like you’ve mentioned but it’s only natural to see folks coming in to raze your mobs the moment somebody decide to prep the NM. Then again I suppose you can pick up the crystal when the NM spawn and carry on with your business after.

Some Cassie preppers tracks in-game weather table & normally present 1-2 weather cycle before the actual Blizzard weather sets in because how finicky Cassie is to spawn. Normally when these groups presents, Cassie would’ve been long dead if you happen to enter an instance while Blizzard is going on.

I felt the same way for Pyros. Then again, we have Logos Actions to smoothen the progress so imho it’s a decent trade-off. There are handful of powerful & cheap combinations to facilitate solo plays.

Yeah what's why I liked the world serpents and the goobues. Do the sneks during the day then run past the bunny fate and hit up the goobues at night.

I do like Logos Actions and there's a lot of solo potential for leveling but I don't know how well I would do with NMs solo. Plus there are usually groups doing the NMs but it's rapid fire like with Pagos. And I'm just so tired of FATE farming as SE's answer to everything. Before Eureka came out I had really been hoping for a zone with some sort of missions or quests and a reason to go there daily or weekly besides just something minimal like the challenge log (which IIRC we didn't even have at first). That's the sort of thing they could have tied relic progression to and made sure to future proof it appropriately.
